ozuke おずけ is the local dialect for Miso soup.
Yamanokami is a woman and has three daughters. Before the daughters died, Yamanokami gave her a special dish of rice with ozuke おずけ Miso soup poured over it. Therefore people should not eat rice with Miso soup poured over it, because they will become a stomach ache or get inured if they go to the mountain forest later.
They might use a bowl of Miso soup and put some rice in it, that is a welcome meal.

おみ漬け（おみづけ）Omizuke
is a speciality of Yamagata, made from pickled parts of vegetables to keep fresh over the long winter time.
