  Kiritanpo is Akita’s most iconic dish and there’s no better place to try it than at Akita Kiritanpo shop. Similar to dango, kiritanpo is a chewy, mochi-type rice that’s been shaped into a long spherical stick. It’s often enjoyed with in nabe (Japanese hot pot) miso or by itself smothered in sweet and salty miso paste.
