Mehari Sushi
A large rice ball that fits heavily in the palm of your hand. Wrapped tightly in glossy takana leaves, taking a bite allows the moderate saltiness of the leaves and the sweetness of the rice to spread through your mouth together. As for the origin of its name, it is said to come from either 'eating with one's mouth open wide enough to be eye-opening' or 'being so delicious it makes your eyes widen.' It began as a large snack created so that loggers and raftmen working in the mountains could quickly eat during their breaks. Kumano is land suitable for cultivating takana, and pickles have been made here since ancient times. This is a traditional food of Eastern Kishu, selected as one of the 100 Local Dishes of Farming, Mountain, and Fishing Villages. It is simple, yet a single piece is quite filling. Please enjoy this powerful, old-fashioned flavor.
