About this pattern

Explanation

たて attaches to the stem of a verb to express that something is just finished being done, or that something is fresh from the source (e.g., just baked, just cooked). It’s commonly used to describe food or objects that are still in a freshly-made, hot, or newly obtained state. It can be followed by の to modify a noun (たてのN).
