NINIGI-NO-MIKOTO
Shinto Cookery God 🧑🍳
Also known as Ninigi, Ninikine
God of Rice and the Japanese Imperial family
With the help of Sarutahiko, he descended from the mysterious Central Land of Reeds and kickstarted proper food production — and civilization.
The grandson of Amaterasu, she passed on to him the sacred items that are the Japanese equivalent to the Crown Jewels only more so: a mirror, a necklace and the sacred sword.
His wife is the delightful Princess Blossom Konohanasakuya-Hime, with whom he fathered several fiery siblings including Hosuseri and the famous huntin’ and fishin’ brothers Hoori and Hoderi.
As a deity of rice, he might be a bit starchy and hard-boiled.
