Kiritanpo🍲

“Kiritanpo きりたんぽ is a traditional Akita dish made from mashed rice molded around a cedar stick and grilled.

It’s typically served in a hot pot with Hinai-jidori chicken, burdock root, maitake mushrooms, and Japanese parsley.

The rice absorbs the broth, creating a rich, savory flavor unique to Akita.”
