Seasonal taste

There are various dialects that refer to corn in various parts of Japan. In Hokkaido, Tohoku, Chubu, Shikoku, etc., it is called tokibi or tokimi, in Kinki, Aichi, Okayama, Yamaguchi, etc., it is called nanban or nanba, and in Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi, etc., it is called tomigi or tomugi.

The dialect of corn differs from region to region, and its background is influenced by history and culture. For example, the name "corn" itself comes from "sorghum" introduced from China. The word "nanban" also means something that came from a foreign country, and the name "nanban" has the same meaning.

In Hokkaido, it is generally called "Tokibi," and there is a famous food stall called "Tokibi Wagon" in Odori Park in Sapporo. However, even in Hokkaido, it is sometimes called "Tokimi" in southern Hokkaido centered on Hakodate.

Differences in the names of these regions are rooted in the history, culture, and people's lives of the land, and show the richness of the dialect.

... Read more私も最初、「とうきびって、とうもろこしと別物?」と勘違いしていました。結論から言うと、基本的には同じ“とうもろこし”で、地域によって呼び名(方言)が違うケースがほとんどです。お店の値札や旅行先のメニューで「トウキビ」と書かれていても、だいたいは私たちが普段食べているとうもろこしだと思ってOKでした。 「とうきびとは?」と聞かれたら、私は“北海道でよく使われるとうもろこしの呼び方”と説明しています。札幌の大通公園の「とうきびワゴン」みたいに、呼び名自体が名物になっているのも面白いところ。反対に、道南あたりでは「とうきみ」と呼ぶことがあると知って、同じ北海道でも差があるんだなと感じました。 「とうきび とうもろこし 違い」をもう少し丁寧に言うと、違いは“品種”より“言い方”にあることが多いです。ただ、会話の中では「甘い生食系(スイートコーン)」を指してとうもろこし、昔ながらのイメージでとうきび…みたいに、ニュアンスが混ざる場合もあるので、気になるときは産地や品種名(ゴールドラッシュ等)を見るのが確実です。 ほかにも、検索でよく見かけるのが「とうみぎとは?」。これは宮城・福島・茨城・栃木などで聞く呼び名で、「とうむぎ」と言う地域もあるそうです。さらに近畿や中国地方の一部では「なんばん」「なんば」。この“南蛮”は「外国から来たもの」という意味合いがあって、外来作物だった背景が呼び名に残っているのが興味深いです。 私が覚えやすかった“とうもろこし 方言 一覧”の作り方は、旅行先で見た言い方をメモしておくこと。市場や道の駅だと方言表記のポップが出ていることがあって、見つけるとちょっと得した気分になります。 最後に、写真みたいに皮をむいた新鮮なとうもろこし(とうきび)を買った日は、まずはシンプルに茹でるのがおすすめ。鍋に湯を沸かして短時間で火を通すと、旬の甘さが分かりやすいです。呼び名が何であれ、旬の時期はやっぱり別格だなと思いました。
