Itokoni

Toyama

Typical cooked dish of Hokuriku area area

Itokoni

It's the dish which boiled adzuki beans and is eaten widely by the Hokuriku area area. It's said to be the etymology that it was "my nephew nephew" "gradually" from the thing which is being put in the pot eventually from the material for which it's difficult to be cooked. The topping material put in by an area is partial, but the one which made the Japanese radish, the potatoes and the burdock the center is general. Because the food offered at a god is grouped and boiled originally, it has started.
