Try sweet apples and grilled rice sticks—delicious Akita cuisine

The Akita Specialty Exhibition has been held in Taiwan for several consecutive years, always showcasing seasonal delicacies. Among them, the dreamy Akita Komachi rice is as renowned in Japan as Koshihikari rice, known for its glossy appearance, fragrant aroma, excellent elasticity, and delightful texture—even when served cold, it remains sweet. Grilled rice sticks made with Akita rice hold an irreplaceable place in the hearts of locals and are an essential item for hot pot meals. And don’t worry about seasonings when buying fresh ingredients—there are also Hida chicken broth packs and sauces available so you can easily enjoy these treats at home.
