Tenkomori
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tenkomori(天こ盛り、てんこもり) is to the act of piling up food high in dishes and other containers (creating a mound or heap). It can also refer to the appearance of such a piled-up dish. It is synonymous with ''yamamori'' (山盛り) and ''tekomori'' (てこもり). Figuratively, it can be used to describe a situation where there is an abundance of something with a positive connotation. When food is served with more than the usual amount, it is called "oomori" (大盛り).
In manga, it is common to depict rice served in this manner in bowls or Chawan dishes, and it is sometimes referred to as manga mori (マンガ盛り). Dekamori is also used as a synonymous term.[1] Additionally, there is a term called mukashibanashi mori (昔ばなし盛り) or mukashibanashi mori (昔話盛り).[2][3][4][5]
