Pasta as a *shinsen* (sacred food offering) prepared in the *kamado-den* (hearth room).

[Story] Himiko (Yamato-totohi-momoso-hime), the deity enshrined at Hikami Jingu, enjoys not only traditional Japanese cuisine but also Chinese and Western dishes—she has experienced these flavors through the mouths of her shrine maidens. Today, fitting the theme, the *shinsen* offering is pasta, which also happens to be the meal for the shrine staff this evening. Twelve servings of pasta are being boiled, accompanied by a tomato sauce. Firewood is fed into the *kamado* (traditional hearth), and the pasta is cooked in a large pot. Please enjoy this Italian dish prepared within a traditional, ancient-style Japanese hearth room. [Description] Following my previous post about preparing coffee for the shrine staff, this time it’s pasta. Since the cooking setup requires a large pot, I’ve utilized the *kamado-den*—the room dedicated to preparing *shinsen* offerings. While I could have used a modern gas stove, I thought it would be more interesting to keep the traditional hearth setup intact. For the generation process, I simply described the cooking method and the interior setting using the specifications provided by Kaori-san, along with a Japanese-language prompt. After checking the result at "Quality: low" and making a few minor adjustments, I generated the final image in one go at "Quality: medium."
