Kyo means hospitality with food and drink, and is an offering, a sacred food. Okyomori means cooking, preparing and arranging the sacred food. Because it is a sacred act, a fresh, pure fire is used for cooking the matured food. The fire is usually specially started with a primitive fire starter, a hikiri pestle and a hikiri mortar. The place where the food is prepared is also a specially designated pure space. At large shrines, it is a special building called a sacred food hall or hetsutsuden, and at the guardian deity of a town or village, the house of the head shrine of the shrine, the priest, or the shrine guardian is considered a pure area, and in strict places, no one other than those involved in the preparation of the food is allowed near.

饗はもてなす酒食のことで,供物,神饌である。お饗盛りはその神饌を調理・調製し,盛り付けることである。それは聖なる行為であるため,熟饌の煮炊きの火も,新鮮な清らかな火が用いられる。その火は原初的な発火具である火鑽(ひきり)杵・火鑽臼によって特別におこされるのが普通である。調製する場所も特別に設けられた清浄な空間で,大社では神饌殿あるいは竈殿(へつついでん)と呼ばれる特別の建物で,町や村の氏神では宮座の頭屋や神主・宮守などの家を浄域とし,厳格なところでは調製の役以外の者はいっさい寄せつけない。
