This dish was said to be created during the Shimabara Rebellion in 1637, and because of its nutritious value, it was able to support and feed the warriors for three months.

“Himematsuya,” a restaurant with two branches in Shimabara City, including one near Shimabara Castle, is known as the birthplace of guzōni, a local specialty.
