Dried rice - I want it

Japanese: 乾飯 - ほしいい

Also called hoshi (hoshii) and karei (karei). The sound of hoshi is bi, which is similar to the sound of preparedness, and means rice to prepare for emergencies. It is made by steaming rice and drying it in the shade. It is eaten by soaking it in water or pouring hot water over it to soften it. It has been used as a portable food and a preserved food since ancient times. Domyoji hoshi is made from glutinous rice and has been made in Domyoji, Kawachi since the Heian period. It is still used as a confectionery ingredient today.
