Mount Sanbe, also known as Sanbesan, is an active stratovolcano in Ōda, Shimane Prefecture. The highest peak, Osanbe, has an elevation of 1,126 m (3,694 ft). At the center of the volcano is a caldera 1 km (0.62 mi) across. The volcano's composition is mainly dacite and andesite. Volcanic activity was believed to have started 100 thousand years ago. The volcano frequently produces explosive eruptions with several classified as Plinian eruptions. All of these explosive eruptions occurred during the Pleistocene while one occurred in the Holocene at the Taiheizan lava dome approximately 3,700 years ago. The Holocene eruption triggered pyroclastic flows down the northeastern and southeastern flanks, reaching the Hayamizu River in the south. More recent eruptions have taken place but they are not precisely dated.[1][2]

166．Hikimi wasabi
Hikimi Wasabi (匹見ワサビ) is a variety of wasabi cultivated in Hikimi Town (now part of Masuda City), Shimane Prefecture, Japan. Wasabi cultivation in Hikimi began in 1818[a][4] and by the early Shōwa era (1926–1989) reached an annual production of 300 metric tons (330.7 US tons). Of the wasabi from Shimane, 90% came from the town of Hikimi[5][6]At the time, Shimane Prefecture was one of the top producers of wasabi in Japan.[5][6] The two top areas of wasabi production were Shizuoka Prefecture in the East and Shimane Prefecture in the West.[5][6] Hikimi's wasabi production declined due to numerous factors, including two large floods since the 1970s, recent generations of farming families choosing different careers, and global warming.[5][6] In recent years, new residents of Hikimi have been attempting to revive the production of Hikimi wasabi.[5][7] In 2013, Shimane Prefecture produced 74.5 metric tons of wasabi (70.2 metric tons were soil-grown wasabi, 4.3 metric tons were water-grown wasabi). That is fifth most in Japan, but far behind the top three prefectures: Shizuoka (867.6 metric tons), Nagano (604.7 metric tons), and Iwate (432.7 metric tons).[8] Shimane Prefecture is known for its Hikimi wasabi. Due to this small amount, Hikimi wasabi is now considered to be fairly rare.[9]

169．Yubeshi
Yubeshi (Japanese: ゆべし) is a type of wagashi (Japanese confection). It has several flavor and shape variations, most commonly walnuts or Japanese citrus (usually yuzu), and can be round or square, but all yubeshi has a base of sticky rice or rice flour, sugar and soy sauce. The process of production is very labor-intensive.[1] A circle is cut out of the top of the yuzu and set aside. A wooden spatula removes the fruit and scrapes away the white pith of the yuzu, leaving only the zest. The fruit is then stuffed with a filling which can range from plain mochiko flour to a traditional blend of mochiko, shōyu, and other spices. The reserved top of the fruit is placed back in as a cap, and the whole thing is steamed repeatedly until the fruit is shiny and brown and the mochi has fully gelatinized. The longer the product is stored, the harder the texture will become. Both the rind and filling are edible. Yubeshi can be served in many ways, whether sliced thin on top of rice dishes and salad, or softened in a warm soup dish.[2]
