Explanation

Kiritanpo きりたんぽ



kiritampo きりたんぽ kiritanpo rice sticks
skewers of mashed rice
Freshly cooked uruchigome rice is pounded until somewhat mashed, then formed into cylinders around cryptomeria skewers, and toasted over an open hearth.
Sometimes the mashed rice is wrapped around chopsticks. The freshly grilled food can then be served with sweet miso or used cut and used as dumplings in soups and hodgepots.
tanpo is a word for a special spear with a top rounded by cloth, used for practise. The form is similar to this food. Because the food stick is cut (kiri) the name developed.

A speciality of Akita and Aomori.
