Takikomi gohan is a Japanese rice dish seasoned with dashi and soy sauce along with mushrooms, vegetables, meat, or fish.
Takikomi gohan is often made with seasonal ingredients, especially in the fall season, when it might feature mushrooms (shiitake, maitake, etc.), chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and other autumn vegetables.
Unlike donburi, the ingredients of takikomi gohan are cooked with the rice. Takikomi gohan is typically served as a side dish or part of a meal, rather than a standalone dish like donburi. The rice and ingredients are mixed together, and it can be served in smaller portions alongside other dishes
