★What is Hoba Leaf?★
It is the leaf of the Magnolia tree (Magnolia obovata).
Because the leaves are large and have natural antibacterial properties, they have been used since ancient times as a substitute for dishes and as a material for wrapping food.
Perhaps the most famous use of Hoba leaves is for Hoba Miso, a local dish from Gifu.
It is a simple cooking method where miso is mixed with chopped green onions, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, and sesame seeds, then placed on a Hoba leaf and grilled. The unique aroma of the Hoba leaf enhances the flavor of the grilled miso.

☆How to make Hoba Sushi (one example)☆
Wipe the surface of the Hoba leaf clean with a damp cloth.
Make sushi rice by adding sushi vinegar to freshly cooked rice.
Spread the sushi rice in the center of the Hoba leaf and arrange the ingredients colorfully.
Fold the Hoba leaf in half and place a light weight on it to let it sit.

~Chef's Tip~
Letting it sit allows the leaf's aroma to transfer to the sushi rice.
When taking it out, not only fold the leaf but also wrap it so the contents do not spill out.
