The food I like

My favorite food is "Kiritanpo". This is a local cuisine represeting Akita. Kiritanpo is made from "Akitakomachi", which is one of the Japan's most famous rice and is special product of Akita.
The newly harvested rice is mashed and molded onto Japanese ceder sticks. Then it is grilled and put into a chicken soup stew. The fregrant and savory smell of Japanese cedar and toasted rice matches the tasteful chicken soup of "Hinaijidori" which is also special product of Akita. Ingredients of the soup are leek, burdock, Japanese parsley and a lot of kind of mushrooms which gathered at mountains.



I have not eaten this recently and I really miss it.
