History and Origins

The roasted rice that was stabbed to the pot, or the roasted flavored potato is a native dish that was prepared for ritual and business events. In fact, this country was introduced from Asia in the pre - rice period, and it was grown extensively in Tochigi Prefecture, except for the cold cold and poor growth of old Mount Fuji. In the past, potatoes were used as a metaphor, and they have usually been offered to festivals and annual events. In the old house of Sasaki, for example, there was a custom of eating potatoes around the counter in New Year's Eve, eating rice with rice and wine. In Shizuyama, Japan, there was the custom of making rice for the old year's festival of the old Japan's first Japan festival.

When It Is Eaten

The first day from the harvest until spring, we would keep warm in the fireplace and eat potatoes even on normal days. I've been eaten, especially by New Year's and other festivals.

How It Is Eaten

I'll put the steamed, boiled rice in a bowl, cook it, add some flavor to it, and cook it again. The taster carefully pastes it until it is dry, and then in autumn and winter, he will grind it down, he'll cut it into pieces, he'll taste good in the spring.
