During the Meiji era, yakimochi was commonly eaten in rural Japan, and historical versions contained not only rice but other grains such as millet, barley, wheat flour, and rice husks. A version from the Niigata Prefecture eaten in mountain areas used rice husks and other grain flours to make a dough, stuffed with vegetables and cooked in miso.
