Mugi gohan

Mugi gohan is a traditional dish that means barley rice when translated to English. It’s made with a combination of white rice and barley. They’re typically cooked together in a rice cooker, and locals eat this dish due to its health benefits. Mugi gohan was invented as a means to an end because in the past, locals such as peasants and field workers couldn’t afford too much white rice, so they combined it with barley. Nowadays, the dish is prepared in the ratio of 3 : 1, three parts rice to one part barley.
