I learned this recipe from a gentleman I met during a trip to Lake Tazawa, in the city of Semboku. Akita is famous for&nbsp;<em>kiritanpo<\/em>, made by pounding freshly cooked rice, forming it into long hollowed-out cylinders around thick cedar skewers, and toasting over an open hearth.&nbsp;<em>Damako<\/em>&nbsp;is a ball-shaped version that\u2019s easier to make and thus often made at home. Take freshly cooked rice, pound it until the grains are about half of the original size, roll into balls, and allow the surface to dry so that the balls don\u2019t lose their shape while simmering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A distinctive key ingredient is the water celery roots, which are strong-flavored and provide a delicious accent. Locals might make the soup with Akita Prefecture\u2019s specialty Hinai chicken. The savory flavor is further enhanced usually with&nbsp;<em>shottsuru<\/em>, Akita\u2019s unique fish sauce made with Japanese sandfish, but here I substituted it with the more readily available Thai nam pla. Like many dishes in Akita, this one is on the salty side, so adjust the amount of soy sauce as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">Even if you do make a salty pot of soup, the damako will balance it out, since the dried surface will keep the soup from seeping into the center. If I could tell the gentleman at Lake Tazawa that I tried out his recipe, he might say \u201cGood for you. Tasty, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d in his thick Akita accent. It certainly was. In fact, it was so tasty that my sigh of satisfaction nearly came out in the Akita accent too!&nbsp;Damako-jiru&nbsp;is the perfect dish for the winter. I promise it will give you a burst of energy to beat the cold weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u5ca9\u624b\u3060\u307e\u3053\u6c4131_01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u5ca9\u624b\u3060\u307e\u3053\u6c4131_01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u5ca9\u624b\u3060\u307e\u3053\u6c4131_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u5ca9\u624b\u3060\u307e\u3053\u6c4131_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u5ca9\u624b\u3060\u307e\u3053\u6c4131_01.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/minokamo.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minokamo<\/a>&nbsp;| Cookery expert \/ Photographer<\/strong><br>Gifu Prefecture native minokamo\u2019s culinary adventures were inspired by her fond childhood memories of cooking with her grandmother.
