Kiritanpo-Making Experience (Odate, Akita Prefecture)(Odate Cultural Activity Promotion Committee)
Enjoy your own homemade kiritanpo (an Akita specialty) at Odate, the place that made it famous!
Kiritanpo is a local Akita hot pot dish that includes tanpo (pounded rice baked on a cedar skewer), and Hinai Jidori chicken. Kiritanpo is a home-style dish in Odate, and has been passed down from generation to generation as food eaten on special occasions, often served to entertain guests or eaten at weddings and funerals. The taste of freshly-made kiritanpo is exceptional, and this cooking experience is a great way to learn about Akita and its food culture.
