In "Kojiki" (The Records of Ancient Matters), this type of myth is found in a tale that Susanoo (Takehaya Susano no Mikoto) who was expelled from the Plain of High Heaven after Iwato-gakure (the hiding of Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess, in the heavenly rock cave), asked for food from Ogetsuhime (Ogetsuhime no kami), a deity of grains.
古事記においては、岩戸隠れの後に高天原を追放されたスサノオ（速須佐之男命）が、食物神であるオオゲツヒメ（大気都比売神）に食物を求めた話として出てくる。
