OYAKI

(Steam Bun)

OYAKI has a long history, and in the Jomon period, processed foods
such as “yakimochi”(baking rice cake) were made using millet, which is thought to be the prototype of OYAKI.

Pottery from the mid-Jomon period (about 5,500 years ago) was also unearthed,
and traces of powder kneading and baking have been found in Nagano prefecture.

This is a local cooking experience that includes anecdotes about the food culture of the village
that has been around since ancient times, going back 4,500 years which is the time when the Nozawa site was built.
Would you like to spend a relaxing and delicious time away from the daily hustle and bustle with me,
who grew up in this small village, making OYAKI?

We mainly use seasonal vegetables and local ingredients.

We start by making the dough. We use flour made from rice grown in Nozawa Onsen village.

The process of wrapping the ingredients requires some technique, but of course even small children can try it♪
