Sweet Onion Takikomi Gohan Recipe | JustOneCookbook.com Takikomi Gohan is a Japanese rice dish seasoned mainly with soy sauce. We have different kinds of mixed rice depending on seasons, and we put chestnuts, bamboo shoots, Matsutake (very expensive mushrooms), and so on. My kids love rice, so I like to mix different kinds of vegetable in it, and sometimes meat. Instead of having a bowl of white rice, we eat Takikomi Gohan along with main dish.
