The history of “Sanzoku-yaki”
It is said to have started about 50 years ago. It is a very popular local dish in the central Shinano area of Nagano prefecture (Matsumoto city, Shiojiri city, and Azumino city). There are several origins to the name. The most famous one is that a long time ago, there were bandits (Sanzoku) that were stealing from the visitors. The word for stealing in Japanese is “Toriage”, and fried chicken in Japanese is also “Toriage”. It is said to have started from this story and the words, and the image of the outrageous bandits is performed on a dish by dynamically using the whole chicken leg.
