I make this every year when chestnuts are in season. It's a standard in our house.It's easier to peel warm chestnuts that's already boiled or cooked. If you don't have a dashi stock bag, you can just use dashi powder or dashi soup you have. Recipe by handmadecafe

I wanted to recreate my mother's recipe... I've been experimenting every autumn, so I hope it tastes like hers.-You may doubt adding sugar, but his enhances the sweet flavor of the chestnuts and also improves the taste.-When peeling chestnuts, remove the outer skin while it's warm and then peel the inner skin. This might make things easier. For 2 rice cooker cups' worth. Recipe by Ami

A seasonal dish to enjoy.The fragrance improves if you add a little soy sauce! For 6 servings. Recipe by Moakun

Growing up, my mom made a version of takikomi gohan and it was one of my favorites. I didn't love plain white rice when I was young so any dish that jazzed it up was a winner. Traditionally, it's mixed with veggies like carrots, and some protein like seafood or meat, but I like to keep things simple. Plus I love mushrooms and when cooked, they remind me of meat so it's still satisfying!

Savory and slightly sweet.

I made my own version of my mother's recipe. We always make this in our house in autumn.If you use mochi rice, use less water. The chestnuts were quite large, so I cut them in half. For 4 servings. Recipe by Atokaraatokara

Every year during chestnut season, I always cook the chestnut rice. I normally mix it with Japanese sweet rice and also regular Japanese rice.

My mother taught me this recipe.Don't worry about draining the rice in a colander if you don't have time.Feel free to add more soy sauce to taste. This rice is also amazing with just salt and sake. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
