Rice cooked and served in a small individual iron pot with meat, vegetables, and dashi — one of the most satisfying ways to eat rice. The lightly charred bottom layer (okoge) is the most prized bite; scrape all the way down. The toppings vary by restaurant — chicken, mixed seafood, and mushroom versions are all common.
小さな鉄釜でお肉やお野菜と一緒に炊き上げた、炊き込みご飯だよ。釜の底にできるちょっと香ばしい「おこげ」。これは、炊いている間にご飯が釜の底に焼き付いて、カリッと香ばしくなった部分のこと。底からこそげ取って、最後の一粒まで楽しんでね。
