We investigated the awareness about the traditional ingredients the “Ondochirimen” of Kure city in Hiroshima prefecture in order to clarify the difference of consciousness between generations for the traditional regional ingredients. As a result, we got the following knowledge.
　Young people of the under 20’s had lower awareness of the “Ondochirimen” than the other generations. Middle-aged people of the 30’s to 50’s thought it is difficult to be eaten easily the “Ondochirimen”. Older people of over 60’s had higher awareness and preference consciousness of the “Ondochirimen” than the other generations.
　As a result, we thought that it is important that young people know the goodness of the “Ondochirimen”.
　In addition, we thought that it is necessary to have the opportunity to learn them in school. We thought that it is possible to inherit the traditional ingredients by proposing a new menu that can be eaten easily using the “Ondochirimen”.
