Among all those stories, the story in "Konjaku monogatari shu" (Tales of Times Now and Then collection) that he took a man titled goi (Fifth Rank) from Kyoto to his residence in Tsuruga to let a man eat imogayu (sweet-potato broth) is famous (Ryunosuke AKUTAGAWA wrote a novel "Imogayu" based on this story).
なかでも『今昔物語集』の中にある、五位の者に芋粥を食べさせようと京都から敦賀の舘へ連れ帰った話などが有名である（芥川龍之介はこの話を題材に小説『芋粥』を執筆している）。
