Abstract: Since 1983, Nagano Prefecture has designated five local dishes as intangible folk cultural properties. This study examines the effects of designating yakimochi (‘stuffed dumplings’) as cultural heritage. The results indicate that this designation has contributed to the preservation and dissemination of yakimochi culture for future generations.
