Uzume rice introduction

“Uzume rice” is a traditional dish from the Iwami region of Shimane prefecture, and has the characteristic of covering the ingredients with rice. Tofu, kamaboko, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, etc. are hidden, and sushi soup and wasabi are accents. At first glance, it looks like ochazuke, but as you eat, the ingredients appear, and you can enjoy an amazing flavor. The origin of this is also said to be the style of the Edo period, when simplicity and frugality were required, even in order not to show luxury to others. Also, it was selected as one of the “Five Great Foods of Japan” in the Showa 14 National Local Cuisine Survey.
