The history, culture, and lifestyles of the area are mixed and condensed in one plate of a local dish that has been passed for generations in mountain and fishing villages throughout Japan. We will introduce various unknown local dishes, also known as the soul food of the Japanese people.

Mitori Okowa

Oita

The steamed rice which was seeing, put in beans and cooked

Mitori Okowa

Beans are seeing and are one kind of sacrifice, and for a sheath to take only a fruit, without eating, I say "mitori". Steamed rice is made using mitori instead of adzuki beans at the prefecture north where the Usa area was made the center. It was easier to be different from adzuki beans in the flavor but make, and much could be harvested. Because it's dark, mitori is also made as a treat of a Buddhist ceremony, the first Bon and a summer festival in Usa-jingu.
