Kuri gohan: The perfect autumn comfort food

Author AvatarRieS

My favorite autumn dish is kuri gohan–a delightful mix of Japanese white rice and sweet chestnuts, typically sprinkled with some black sesame seeds and a pinch of salt. The combination of the chewy rice and the natural sweetness of the chestnuts is elite.

You can easily make kuri gohan yourself if you have a rice cooker, but otherwise, Tagosaku (typically found in department stores and near train stations all across Japan) offers one of the tastiest store-bought versions I’ve had.
