Japanese Noted Foods   Gohei Rice Dumplings  
 Report

The "Gohei" rice cake currently eaten from ancient times in Nagano, Gifu, and Aichi. "Regular rice" is used also although it is called rice cake. It is said that it was eating at the ancient times when rice is precious at the time of an auspicious occasion. It is said that it eats even now when rice is harvested.

By chance, when it shows up in the taxi of the driver from Gifu, it remembers having said, "It will be very nice if northeastern rice is brought home with a souvenir." I think even in Gifu Prefecture that it is various.



There is the smell of sesame soy sauce, and when it sees well, grains of boiled rice is visible to rice cake. If it eats, since the surface is grilled, it is Paris Paris, and inside is soft. It also seems to be a KIRITAMPO of Akita also so that it may be a dumpling. The delicacy of this rice cake will be decided with bean paste, soy sauce, and the sauce containing sesame. A present-day man may be able to consider at the ordinary taste.
