Tohoku has its own unique history and local culture of snow country  They also have a deep history of the Samurai clans.
 
Foodies love Tohoku! It's a Japanese local food paradise. Each prefecture has its regional flavor hotpots, soups, and stews. As they were snowed for a long winter, they perfected fermentation of local materials, and not to mention, their "Jizake" (local sake) is not to be missed.
