{{nihongo||炊き込みご飯|Takikomi gohan}} is a Japanese rice dish seasoned with dashi and soy sauce and mixed with mushrooms, vegetables, meat, or fish. The ingredients are cooked together with the rice.{{Cite web |url=https://tasteofjapan.maff.go.jp/en/recipes/detail/72.html |title=Taste of Japan – Takikomi-gohan (Soy sauce flavored rice cooked with chicken and mushrooms) |access-date=2022-11-04 |website=Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Japan) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220813040852/https://tasteofjapan.maff.go.jp/en/recipes/detail/72.html |archive-date=2022-08-13 |url-status=live |language=en}} The dish is consumed by people in Japan around the fall season since many root vegetables and mushrooms are harvested during this season in Japan.9月に美味しい旬の野菜. (n.d.). Retrieved November 05, 2020, from https://foodslink.jp/syokuzaihyakka/syun/monthly/septembre-ve.htm Ingredients will vary based on the seasonal vegetables and fish. Since the dish has nutritional value, and uses a small amount of rice with vegetables and proteins, some Japanese people eat it for dieting purposes.Watanabe, A.

History

{{transliteration|ja|Takikomi gohan}} was created during the Nara period.{{Cite web |url=https://www.komenet.jp/_qa/kome_chishiki/takikomi.html |title=takikomi gohan |access-date=2022-11-03 |website=米穀安定供給確保支援機構 (Rice Stable Supply Support Organization) (Japan) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041231011235/http://www.komenet.jp/_qa/kome_chishiki/takikomi.html |archive-date=2004-12-31 |url-status=live |language=ja |script-title=ja:たきこみごはん}} Rice was scarce then, so people conserved rice by adding millet or other cereals, wild vegetables, yam or Japanese radish, creating an early form of {{transliteration|ja|takikomi gohan}} called {{nihongo||糅飯|katemeshi}}. During the Muromachi period, {{transliteration|ja|katemeshi}} became popular, turned into a dish called {{nihongo||変わり飯|kawarimeshi}} using ingredients such as barley, beans, and vegetables. Over time, people became creative and made a variety of dishes with seasonal ingredients.
