Kirizai
Pile a generous amount onto steaming hot rice and eat it heartily. The stickiness of the natto combined with the crunchy texture of the chopped pickles, along with the saltiness and umami of the pickles blending into the natto, makes you want to eat bowl after bowl—it is the ultimate rice companion loved in Uonuma. The 'kiri' in Kirizai means cutting, and 'zai' refers to vegetables. It is said that in the snow-covered Uonuma region, people would mix chopped pickles and vegetables into precious natto to increase the volume and make it last. This dish was born from the wisdom of grandmothers, making the most of everyday ingredients without waste. Just by mixing, it becomes a feast. A simple and warm, happy meal from the snow country.
