It has been three years since I started paying taxes in hometown. I have been returning Osechi dishes as a gift.
The year before last and last year, it was an Osechi dish from Kasuya-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture, but this year there was nothing reasonable in terms of price.
It seems that Koga City, Fukuoka Prefecture, offers Osechi dishes from the same manufacturer, Fukuoka Hisamatsu, as a return gift, limited to 1,000 pieces.
Both Koga City and Kasuya Town are located near Fukuoka City and are bedroom towns for my hometown, Fukuoka City. Koga City, in particular, has many food factories within the city limits, and the osechi, a special gift to be returned to the customer, is made from these factories.
In particular, the city markets lightly charred or roasted foods as "charred products" as a specialty of the city.
The name "Kogashi products" is a play on the word "Koga-shi" in Koga City, which is a good idea, including the naming, because it is true that charring or searing food makes it more tasty.
The amount of tax payment for this hometown is 28,000 yen. 15,000 yen of the tax payment was paid with my number points. The actual payment was only 10,000 yen because I used 3,000 Rakuten points.
There is only a month and a half left until New Year's Day. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of "burnt" Osechi dishes will arrive.
