``Sakura Gohan'' is a type of cooked rice made with only soy sauce and other seasonings, and is a familiar taste that is made at home in the western region of Shizuoka Prefecture. It is sometimes served in school lunches and has become a popular menu item for children.
Although it may look unsatisfactory from the outside, it has a simple yet appetizing taste, such as the aroma of soy sauce and the aroma of scorched wood, and it seems that many people become fans once they try it.
In addition, ``Sakura Gohan'' retains its delicious flavor even when it's cold, and can be eaten as rice balls or bento boxes.
