About Ohataki Meat Rolls

Ohataki Meat Rolls (おはたき肉巻き, Ohataki nikumaki) are a beloved creation from the Enshu region, combining the traditional "ohataki” with tender slices of pork, all grilled to perfection in a savory-sweet sauce.

"Ohataki" refers to a type of mochi made from non-glutinous rice flour. The name originates from the process of "hata-ku," meaning to grind rice into powder. Historically, ohataki had a darker color due to being made from broken rice grains, but today, it’s crafted from carefully selected non-glutinous rice, giving it a smooth and refined texture. Ohataki stands out for its non-stretchy qualities, resistance to hardening when cooled, and firmness even after simmering, making it a versatile and beloved food enjoyed by all ages.

Culinary innovators in the Asaba area of Fukuroi City created "Ohataki Meat Rolls" to pass down this cherished local tradition to future generations in a delicious and modern way.
