Foods of Terrath: Tokiwa Salad

The Tokiwa Salad was originally eaten in Shiban for the Festival of Light, and was seen as a holy dish, sacred to the goddess of light, Hatayu. Eventually, Aethan traders discovered the popular dish and started spreading it across Terrath. It has since spread to other places and is eaten all year long by everyone. The dish has since lost most of its reverence, but most Shibanese still give special prayer to Hatayu before indulging themselves.
The Aethans most often modify the salad with very similar ingredients that are native to Aetha in order to save money. There is no special drink that goes with the Tokiwa Salad, but watermelon juice and lemonade are very popular options. It is typically served at room temperature in a small bowl. The meal can be a group one or a solitary one.
Tokiwa Salad is sweet and sometimes slightly tart, but all around delicious.

Rarity

Tokiwa is extremly popular in Shiban and western Aetha. Everyone eats it there, from the rich to the poor, as the ingredients are very common and very cheap there. In most of Renzinbar and Roskovan, it is not popular because the ingredients are rare and very expensive.
