The clean yellow rice by which a heart is cheered

Ouhan

A lord of the Usuki feudal clan which was an financial difficulty makes them make instead of rice boiled with red beans, and stood one eats personally, and is called by a vassal a first, too. I make much in the last day of the year, reboil in the first three days of the New year and eat. It's so good that it's reboiled.
