The Kingdom of Permafrost is not a dining destination but an underground ice complex near Yakutsk, showcasing the region's eternal winter wonders. However, Yakutsk itself has a unique culinary heritage shaped by the frigid climate of the Sakha Republic on Russia's eastern Siberian plains. The indigenous Sakha people have developed a diet largely centered around fish and game adapted to the subarctic climate. Many dishes are high in protein and fat to provide energy in the extreme cold.
Local cuisine often features various parts of wildlife and fish, fermented or dried for preservation due to the lack of vegetables and fruits for much of the year. However, they do take advantage of wild berries and mushrooms during the short summer season. With the understanding of respecting vegetarian preferences, many traditional dishes involving meat from reindeer, horse, and fish remain, while options related to cow meat are not incorporated into this context.
