Uke Mochi
Uke Mochi (保食神 Japanese; English: "Goddess Who Possesses Food") is a goddess of food in the Shinto religion of Japan. When Uke Mochi was visited by Tsukuyomi she prepared a feast by facing the ocean and spitting out a fish, then she faced the forest and bountiful game spewed out of her mouth (traditionally her anus), finally turning to a rice paddy she coughed up a bowl of rice.
