Hinai jidori 比内地鶏 . They have relatively little fat.
Since 21.7.1942 they are a precious national treasure (天然記念物).
They are bred in Akita in the Odate area and are usually not exported. They are used for a regional hodgepodge dish called Kiritanpo, with maitake mushrooms, burdock, leek and konnyaku.
Packets with smoked meat, hamburgers and sausssages of the meat are also sold.
To raise these chicken you have to follow strict regulations. The black earth of the area and clear water of the Dewa mountains also seems to play a part in their tasty meat.
Some farmers even play Mozart music to keep the chicken happy!

..........................................

Der Hinaidori stammt ursprunglich aus Odate, eine Stadt in der Provinz Akita (Nord-Japan). Die Rasse ist wahrscheinlich eine Kreuzung zwischen Shamo und Jidori (Bankiva-Typ). Heute sind die Hinaidori berühmt weil sie das Hauptingredient sind der Kiritanpo Nabe, eine Fleisch-Reis Suppe der angeblich Sumo-ringer extra viel Kraft verleiht.
Wie viele andere Japanische Rassen sind auch die Hinaidori zum Kulturdenkmal erklärt worden. Obwohl heute die Hinaidori das Gewicht auf 2.5 Kg und 3 Kg limitieren waren die erste Hinaidori viel schwerer, dies durch ihre Shamo Erbschaft. Die Hinaidori sind biss heute nur in Japan zu finden.

The supreme brown fowl,the Nagoya Kochin has been one of the specialities of Iwakura since old times. The damp climate of Iwakura,moderated by the Kiso river in the background,is ideal for breeding the Nagoya Kochin. These slowly reared fowls are very delicious.
The Nagoya Kochin sukiyaki,known in this region as “Hikizuri" has a unique chewy texture,a tasty flavour and a delicious smell,and is one feature of Iwakura´s local cuisine.

Onagadori (ながどり)尾長鳥 cock with a long tail

In Japanese literature nothing exact has been reported as to the origins of the breed called the Onagadori. The Japanese believe, however, that this breed came about by mutations of the breed Shokoku in the middle of the Edo Period (1600--1868). Oral history has delivered us the story that the territorial Prince (Shogun?) Yamanouchi in the Kochi Prefecture on the southern peninsula of Shikoku had the helmets and spears of his soldiers adorned with long rooster feathers for special occasions in order to honour the Emperor Tenno. The serfs and those subjected to the Prince, the farmers, who kept chickens of this type and delivered feathers for this important ornamental purpose were exempt from taxes. From this period, ca. 1655, onwards the (growth of longer feathers) steady lengthening of the feathers was to have had its beginnings. Helmets and spears of this period, which are adorned with long rooster feathers, can be seen today in Japanese museums.

A Mr. Tekeichi Riuemon from Shinohara in the Prefecture of Kochi on the island of Shikoku was supposed to have had a major breakthrough in breeding for the Longtails. For this reason the Onagadori's from this period were called "Shinoharato." After a period of time these birds were called "Nagaodori." Later one referred to them simply as "Tosa" in reference to the province in which they were mainly bred.

In the vicinity of the city of Kochi, on the street heading for the city of Nangoku, a monument was erect to honour Takeichi, a stone memorial that is still extant to this day.

The Japanese botanist Koyu Nishimura published a book in the year Ansei 4 (1857) with the title Sketches and Thoughts in which he described the phenomena of the continuous growth of the tail feathers of the Onagadori. From this point onwards the Onagadori was well know even among the common people of Japan.

The Onagadori became fully distinct and "thoroughbred" in the Taisho Period (1912 - 1926). From this point in time the tail feathers reached the incredible lengths of 6 metres and more. It is also in this period of time in which we find the explanations for the diverse comb and colour variations in the birds first imported to Europe.

Satsumadori 薩摩鳥  さつま地鶏 from Satsuma, Kyushu
. . . CLICK here for Photos !

The Satsuma-dori originates in Japan. Satsuma used to be the name of the prefecture now known as Kagoshima. In that time the breed was known as Ojidori (oojidori, meaning large fowl) The name satsumadori (given in the twenties) means nothing more than: “Large fowl of Satsuma”. In 1943 the Japanese Ministry of Culture declared the breed “protected inheritance”. The breeds origin comes of cross-breeding Shamo and Shokoku and was a true “knifefighter”. These “speedfighters” were the only ones to fight steel spurs. Very likely the Japanese copied fightingstyles and breeding in knifespurs (slashers) of Philipinian breeders. As this breed carries a full, large, fanning tail it gained popularity (just like Sumatra and Yokohama) in Europe.
The weight of the rooster lies approximately around 3,5 kg (7,7 lbs) and for a hen around 2,5 Kg (5,5 lbs)

Chankonabe (ちゃんこ鍋)
is a Japanese stew (a type of nabemono or one-pot dish) commonly eaten in vast quantity by sumo wrestlers as part of a weight gain diet. It contains a dashi or chicken broth soup base with sake or mirin to add flavor. The bulk of chankonabe is made up of large quantities of protein sources (usually chicken (quartered, skin left on), fish (fried and made into balls), tofu (or sometimes beef) and vegetables (daikon, bok choy, etc). While considered a reasonably healthy dish in its own right, chankonabe is very protein-rich and usually served in massive quantities, with beer and rice to increase the caloric intake. Leftover chankonabe broth can also later be used as broth for somen or udon noodles.
Chankonabe served during sumo tournaments is made exclusively with chicken, the idea being that a rikishi should always be on two legs like a chicken, not all fours like a cow or off one's legs entirely like a fish (i.e., in a position of one who has just lost a match).

Das japanische Ur-Huhn

Die ersten Hühner (niwatori, wörtlich "Vogel im Garten") wurden in Südostasien bereits vor 4000 Jahren als Haustiere gehalten, in China sind sie etwa seit 2700 v. Chr. bekannt. Die Hühnerzucht weitete sich im dritten Jahrhundert v. Chr. auch auf Japan aus.
Hinaidori ist eine Hühnerrasse, die bereits seit dieser Zeit in Akita, in der Flussregion Yoneshirogawa und der Gegend Hinai als Haustier gehalten wird. Der Hals ist lang und der Kamm nur klein. Bis heute hat es sich die Charakteristiken des Wildhuhns bewahrt. Die Tiere sind nicht sehr groß und ihr Fortpflanzungstrieb ist nicht so stark ausgeprägt wie bei anderen Hühnerrassen.

Das fettarme Fleisch ist wohlschmeckend, nicht zu hart und verleiht einer Suppe einen kräftigen Geschmack. Möglicherweise trägt die spezielle schwarze Erde der Hinai-Gegend dazu bei. Schon die japanischen Ureinwohner, die Ainu, wussten von dieser besonderen Erde zu profitieren. Das reine Wasser der Bergregion von Dewa ist ebenfalls ein Grund für den Zuchterfolg der Hinaidori. Manche Züchter bemühen sich auf andere Weise um ihre Hühner; sie spielen für ihre Tiere im Stall Mozart-Melodien, um sie bei guter Laune zu halten. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die besondere Bedeutung dieser Hühnerrasse für die Japaner daran zu erkennen, als dass sie seit Juli 1942 offiziell zum Naturdenkmal Japans erklärt wurde.
Bei der Zucht dieser Rasse müssen die Hinaidori-Hühnerfarmen zahlreiche Vorschriften beachten und diese werden streng überwacht: Auf 3,3 Quadratmetern Land dürfen nicht mehr als 1 bis 1,5   Tiere gehalten werden. Die Tiere müssen sich zudem frei bewegen können und müssen mindestens 180 Tage aufgezogen werden. Und schließlich sind zum Verzehr lediglich weibliche Tiere zugelassen.

Die Stadt Odate in Akita veranstaltet jährlich im Januar einen gut besuchten Hinaidori-Hühnermarkt. Von shintoistischen Zeremonien bis zur Verkaufsausstellung – alles dreht sich ums Huhn. An einem 15 Meter langen Eisenspieß werden zu diesem für die Region wichtigen Anlass gleichzeitig 1000 Hähnchen rundum gegrillt.
In Geschenkpackungen als Reisemitbringsel finden sich Hamburger mit Hinaidori oder Würstchen sowie Geräuchertes aus diesem Hühnerfleisch.

Die drei wichtigsten Hühnerrassen
In ganz Japan sind rund 60 Hühnerrassen beheimatet, zu den drei bekanntesten zählen neben der beschriebenen Hinaidori aus Tohoku, die Rassen Satsumadori aus Kyūshū (besser ohne Längenzeichen?` ) und Nagoya Kōchin aus Zentral-Honshu.

Im Jahr 1943 wurde die Kampfhuhnrasse Satsumadori (Satsuma ist der ehemalige Name von Kagoshima auf der Insel Kyūshū) zum japanischen Kulturgut (tennen kinenbutsu, das war oben Naturdenkmal. ) erklärt. Allerdings sind mittlerweile einige Rassen eingekreuzt worden, und nur Hühner mit einem Genanteil von 50 % der ursprünglichen Rasse dürfen sich Satsumadori nennen. Sie sind besonders groß und aufrecht und haben einen sehr langen schirmartigen Schwanzaufbau. Auch in Europa hat die Rasse inzwischen Einzug gehalten.

Die braune Hühnerrasse Nagoya Kōchin stammt aus dem Dorf Iwakura am Fluss Kisogawa, einer feuchten Gegend, die für die Aufzucht dieser Rasse optimale Bedingungen bietet. Das Fleisch dieser Hühner ist bestens zum Verzehr geeignet, sehar zart, aromatisch und wohlschmeckend und wird für viele Hühnergerichte verwendet, sehr beliebt ist eine Sukiyaki-Variante mit Nagoya-Kōchin-Hühnerfleisch.

Eine Besonderheit stellt die Rasse Ukokkei (wörtlich "abenknochen") dar. Haut, Eingeweide und Knochen sind schwarz, die Federn entweder weiß oder schwarz und die Zehen haben jeweils fünf Krallen. In China werden diese Hühner als heilige Vögel betrachtet, deren Verzehr dem Essenden ein langes Leben, ja sogar die Unsterblichkeit verheißt. In der Tat ist das Fleisch wohlschmeckend und wird auch in Japan sehr teuer gehandelt. Viele Bauernfamilien halten einige dieser Tiere für den Eigenbedarf.

Fighting cocks embody Tosa spirit

Wildly flapping their wings, two fighting cocks battle each other in a round enclosure, becoming bloodied in fierce fighting.

Cockfighting is just like boxing. The roosters clinch, exchange jabs by spreading their wings, punch with their spurs and battle for a knockout victory.

Chicks of fighting cocks older than 40 days already are full of fighting spirit, even attacking their parents or siblings. People attach high value to these belligerent birds.

Fighting cocks were imported to Japan from Thailand during the Edo period (1603-1868). Over time, they have undergone improvements in breeding in various parts of the nation, being raised for both food and fighting. Even though bouts between the birds are permitted, the state has designated them a protected species.

The birds are highly regarded in other countries as well, with some breeders having received letters asking for eggs from cockfight lovers in such countries as Thailand.

In Yasudacho, Kochi Prefecture, the Yasuda cockfighting tournament is held almost every Sunday from December through June, with 28 tournaments a season.

Fighting cocks are divided into three categories: 1-year-old, 1!-year-old and 2-year-old. During battles, they usually use their spurs to defeat their opponents.

But as the spurs of 1-year-old cocks are not fully grown, they first fight in their age category, later advancing to battles for the general championship.

Game results are recorded in a point system. For example, when a cock has killed its opponent by stabbing it with its spurs, it gets maximum points of 10. When a cock has made its opponent flee, it gets eight points.

An association for fighting cocks in the town's Chugei district hosts bouts, renting municipal-run facilities. According to Sadami Nishioka, 71, the association's director, bouts hosted by the association are unique in that no gambling is involved and they are held regularly.

They also are open to visitors from outside the prefecture, although they have to pay an entrance fee.

Kentaro Komatsu, 72, a Yasudacho farmer, is raising 20 fighting cocks, of which six are fighting in this season's tournament.

Komatsu began breeding fighting cocks at the age of 25, and since then he has been addicted to cockfighting, he said.

"I feel incomparable pleasure when I see my cock's opponent shrinking away as a loser," he said.

If one of his birds dies after losing a fight, Komatsu cooks it in a pot and eats it for dinner with his friends, he added. The meat of such birds is highly regarded, but it may taste a little bitter for the breeder.

Like the birds, the people of Tosa--the old name for the prefecture--are known for their vigor.
