Kurumi Gobou
With a single bite, you experience the crisp texture of the burdock. Enveloping it is a smooth green paste—a slightly sweet coating made from carefully crushed edamame. The earthy aroma and gentle sweetness melt together in your mouth. 'Kurumi Gobou' is a traditional ritual food passed down since ancient times in Shigaraki. The name 'kurumi' does not refer to walnuts, but comes from the word 'kurumu,' meaning to wrap, referring to being wrapped in edamame paste. It has been offered during the autumn festival at Sansho Shrine in Kamiasamiya, Shigaraki-cho, and it is said that eating it ensures good health for the year. It is a festival delicacy made with great care and time. Though simple, it is a dish imbued with the heartfelt wishes of the local people.
