About Inakibi Gohan
Inakibi gohan combines rice with inakibi millet in the Ainu preparation documented here. The Sapporo account describes it as food for ceremonies and other special occasions.
Rice and millet give it a gentle cereal flavour. Salt and added fat provide the simple savoury seasoning, rather than a separate sauce or elaborate spice mixture.
It is a mixed-grain rice dish, with the small millet grains distributed among the rice. The source presents plentiful rice as a particularly valued ceremonial food.
