About Wappa Meshi (Steamed rice topped with seafood)
Wappa meshi is a dish served as a regional specialty of Niigata. A “wappa” is a lunchbox made by bending thin sheets of cedar. To make wappa meshi, rice cooked with lightly salted dashi is placed in the container, topped with seasonal seafood, and steamed. Common toppings include salmon and salmon roe. Compared with takikomi gohan, or rice cooked with ingredients, it is lighter and lets the natural flavors of the ingredients shine.
