What kind of dish is Japanese Sweet Potato Rice (satsumaimo gohan) ??

Japanese Sweet Potato Rice (satsumaimo gohan) is a classic fall dish. A dish made by cooking rice and sweet potatoes together in a rice cooker.

Autumn is the season with so many delicious foods that it is said to be the autumn of appetite.

Rice harvested in autumn is called “shinmai” and is characterized by its high moisture content, strong flavor and stickiness. In English, it is translated as “new rice.”

Rice is especially delicious at this time of year. Sweet potatoes are also in season in autumn.

It’s a perfect autumn dish with simple seasonings that let you enjoy the taste of the ingredients.

Sweet potatoes are easy to grow even in poor soil and are not easily damaged by typhoons, so cultivation in Japan has taken root.

This is a dish that has been made since ancient times, and some families use glutinous rice. When using glutinous rice, use 225g of rice and 75g of glutinous rice.

It doesn’t harden even after a long time and has a delicious chewy texture.
