[Niigata's local cuisine Kiriae has a fresh surprise in the gap between appearance and taste] Even if you can't imagine what it looks like or what it tastes like, Niigata's local dish "Kiriae" will become a fan when you eat it. It is a local dish that has been eaten at home around Nishigama Ward, Niigata City. It has just been passed down in the area where the directly managed store "Yahiko Sasaya Store" in Echigo Miso West is located. Since before the Edo period, the shogunate's annual tribute collection was strict, and when farmers ate white rice at events, it was said that they ate it with a mouthful of rice so that they would not be told that it was not okay to eat white rice. Each household uses white sesame seeds and has different flavors, but the basic method is to use miso-pickled radish, yuzu peel, and sesame seeds. It has a moist texture and is sprinkled on enough to cover the rice. The slight yuzu aroma is refreshing, and it has a slightly sweet and salty taste with the saltiness of miso-pickled radish and black sesame seeds. Nowadays, many places offer it for breakfast, such as inns in the area, so you can get to know its taste. As a local dish of Niigata, I would like more people to know about it, so please take this opportunity to try it. ●Easy arrangement of Kirie If you boil spinach and mix it together, you can add sesame seeds with a different flavor. ~Until you have a kiriae~ This product was developed over a year with the aim of becoming a regional brand as part of the "Regional Brand Building Support Project". Kiriae was taught by Chef KOKAJIYA Kumakura, a restaurant located in Niigata, which is famous for its Iwamuro Onsen. It will be 2019. When I tried Kiriae for the first time, I was impressed by its deliciousness and dreamed of commercializing it someday, but it finally took shape. This time, I want as many people as possible to know about this local dish, which many people even Niigata people don't know! With that in mind, I developed products through this business. Please enjoy your first food experience. From the person in charge of product development of Echigo Miso Nishi Co., Ltd.
