Histrical Streetscape in KUROISHI merchant town
useful information
At the "Komise" street in Kuroishi City, large townhouses remain, with eaves extending out continuously in front of them and assageways called "komise." The feudal lord who founded the Kuroishi Domain arranged the samurai estate to the north of his base called Jinya, and the merchant district at Nakamachi town called "Komise-dori" along the road to the east of that. The eaves extend out continuously in front of them and passageways called "komise." The main townhouses are mainly two-story buildings with gabled gables and lattice windows on the front of the second floor, and the "komise" in front is designed to prevent snow and wind. from blowing in during the winter by lowering wooden doors or "Shoji" doors between the pillars in front. The "komise" is still used for daily traffic today, and the streets lined with komise in a row have already been lost in other areas in the northern Tohoku region, making it extremely valuable.

KUROISHI's Fried Noodle with Soup a local B-class gourmet dish
useful information
Kuroishi Tsuyu Yakisoba (fried noodle with soup), a local B-class gourmet dish from Kuroishi City, is usually made by frying chewy, flat noodles in Worcestershire sauce, topping them with an overwhelming amount of sauce and adding fried tempura bits and spring onions. It has been eaten for about 70 years now. But there are now several variations depending on the restaurant. One theory is that it began when a busy waiter mistakenly put Yakisoba in ramen soup.
