🍱 Chagome

"Chagome" is rice with sweet beans. The rice is cooked with roasted fava beans and granulated sugar, resulting in an overall brown color rice. It is said that in the old days, it was a popular meal for people living in samurai residences, but later it spread as a dish prepared by farmers to consume old fava beans during the season when new fava beans are harvested. The dish may be served with "takuan (pickled radish)", "umeboshi(pickled plums)", or tea.
