Since it is the season for new rice, I ordered Koshihikari rice from Aizu in Fukushima and made grilled rice balls.
It is a simple grilled rice ball that is just dip in yuzu miso and cook in a frying pan.
“Yuzu sawano chaya”, located in the suburbs of Fukushima City, is popular among locals as you can enjoy yuzu miso grilled rice balls and dengaku in an old Japanese-style house surrounded by rich nature.
Tsuchiyu Onsen and Takayu Onsen are also nearby, so if you want to relax, please visit.
