Ichinoho Shitogi Mamegaki
The true power of Akita rice is captured in a single crispy piece. This is a bean-filled rice cracker baked using the ancient 'shitogi' method by Ichinoho of Akita City. 'Shitogi' is an old technique once used in Shinto rituals, involving soaking rice in water, pounding it, and turning it into powder. In Akita, there is a culture of drying mochi in winter as a preserved food, and that wisdom is passed down to the present day. This mamegaki, which spreads the aroma of soybeans and the flavor of glutinous rice, is an accomplished confection that won the Governor's Award at the Akita Prefecture Specialty Product Development Contest. With one bite, you can feel the strength of Akita's rice-producing region. It is a piece we are confident in, enjoyed both with tea and as an accompaniment to alcohol. It can be called a single piece that keeps the wisdom of Akita's winter life alive today.
