Hohba miso (miso grilled on a magnolia leaf)

In the Hida region, the fallen leaves of Japanese magnolia were collected in autumn and utilized as a cooking tool. Hohba miso is a simple meal prepared by baking miso paste and chopped leek pieces upon a magnolia leaf. Today Hida beef or mushrooms are added to be baked together, and thus the dish has become an essential hospitality item of the region.
