Thunder Okoshi - Thunder Okoshi
|
A regional brand for the Kanto region and Tokyo. It is mainly produced in Taito Ward and other areas. It is said that street vendors near Asakusa's Kaminarimon Gate started selling it in the middle of the Edo period. It is made by steaming glutinous rice, roasting it to make it puff up, and then mixing it with peanuts, sugar, and starch syrup before solidifying it. The name is said to come from the words "to build up a family" and "to build a name," and it is also popular as a lucky charm.

関東地方、東京都の地域ブランド。 主に台東区などで生産されている。江戸時代中頃、浅草・雷門の近くの露天商が売り始めたとされる。もち米をいったん蒸し、煎って膨らませたものに落花生や砂糖・水飴を混ぜて固めたもの。名前は「家を起こす」「名を起こす」に由来するとされ、縁起物としても喜ばれる。 出典 日外アソシエーツ「事典 日本の地域ブランド・名産品」事典 日本の地域ブランド・名産品について 情報 |
