Kuri okowa (sticky rice with chestnut)

Kuri okowa (sticky rice with chestnut) is prepared in areas where chestnuts can be harvested in the autumn by steaming them with sticky rice and azuki beans. This dish is widely liked for the subtle sweetness of steaming-hot chestnut and sticky, fluffy rice. Its aesthetic also entertains those who eat it with the rice colored by the beans and the vivid seasonal colors of the chestnut.

A unique dish with an excellent combination of sweet chestnut and salty sticky rice
This is a local food item of the Ena Region, using large-size chestnuts and sticky rice from Ena, seasoning it with salt, sugar and sake and steaming it to become fluffy and sticky. We dip chestnuts in salty water to remove bitterness before cooking. Natural sweetness produces unique taste together with the salty rice.
