Fukusaki Town's specialty "Mochi barley"
Mochi barley has been eaten in Fukusaki Town for a long time. Nowadays, it is sold as a local specialty, processed into noodles, alcohol, sweets, and other products. Mochi barley is rich in the water-soluble dietary fiber β-glucan, and is a food that is attracting attention from health-conscious people.

Risotto-style curry with delicious roux soaked in barley
"Mochi Barley Curry" is an authentic instant curry made under the supervision of a Kobe curry specialty store. It is a risotto-style curry with mochi barley in the roux. Of course, you can eat it over rice, but since it is "risotto-style", you can enjoy the chewy texture of the mochi barley by eating it as is. We also recommend adding a soft-boiled egg or cheese on top to create your own variations.
Another feature is that it can be eaten at room temperature without having to be heated, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as camping and mountain climbing, or as an emergency food source in the event of a disaster.
