Chikuzenni
History and etymology. Chikuzen-ni was named after Chikuzen prefecture, which is now called Fukuoka. It was originally called "game-ni" () from the phrase ""Game kuri komu"", which means "to collect", because of how the ingredients were gathered and cooked together. Japanese soldiers stationed in Korea during the Japanese invasions of Korea also used turtles called "dobugame" () instead of chicken, and called the dish "game-ni" (), where "game" is short for "dobugame." Today, chicken is used instead of turtle meat. According to the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications of Japan, chicken and burdock root are  consumed the most in Fukuoka, Japan; believed to be due to the high number of households that make chikuzen-ni. Preparation and serving. The ingredients are first sautéd together in oil. Bring dashi, shiitake flavored broth, and mirin (sweet rice seasoning) to a simmer and let the chicken cook in the mixture. Then, insert taro root, dried shiitake mushrooms, konnyaku (yam cake), burdock root, lotus root, and carrots, and cook until the vegetables are tender. Sometimes, snap peas are added after the vegetables are completely cooked.
