わかめと昆布サラダ / Wakame to konbu sarada (Seaweed and kelp salad)

A wide variety of seaweed-based salads are made by Japanese home cooks. They may contain only a mix of seaweeds and a dressing, but may also feature vegetables including cucumber, carrots, lotus root (レンコン / はす), daikon (だいこん), corn, edamame (枝豆), or onion. Dressings are as varied as cooks, and may be based around sesame oil (ごま油), rice vinegar (米酢), miso paste (みそ / 味噌), ponzu sauce (ポン酢), or mayonnaise (マヨ).

This recipe is a good way to use up reconstituted kombu and wakame that were steeped to make soup stock. It includes instructions for two dressings: one based on rice vinegar and sesame oil, and another with a sesame-mayo base.

"わかめ" or "ワカメ" ("wakame") is likely from "若" ("waka," "young") +‎ "海布" ("me," "seaweed"); it is a particular species of edible seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) that is farmed in Japan, Korea, and China. It is sometimes called "sea mustard" in English. Without further specification, "wakame" in a culinary context is taken to mean the leaves of the seaweed; these are the same leaves that are eaten in miso soup (みそ汁).

The etymology of "昆布" ("kombu" or "konbu") is unknown. It may be a phonetic Japanese reading of the Middle Chinese "昆布" (Mandarin: "kūnbù") (itself from "綸布" "*krūn pās," "green ribbon" + "cloth"), used to refer to various types of kelp and seaweed. In Japanese, the term refers to any of a few species of edible kelp from the Laminariaceae family.

Dried kombu is steeped to make one type of dashi ("出汁" / "だし"), a stock that is used in various soups and sauces. Once reconstituted, it may be steeped again to make 二番だし ("niban dashi," "second dashi"), sliced and simmered as one ingredient in a 煮物 ("nimono," simmered dish), or roasted and combined with other seaweeds and spices to make 振り掛け ("furikake").

"サラダ" ("sarada") is probably derived from the English "salad."

Note that the "seaweed salad" served at Japanese restaurants in the U.S. is not commonly eaten in Japan. It is shipped out to restaurants and stores pre-packaged, and is made with colored オゴノリ ("ogonori"; "agar" on ingredients lists), きくらげ ("kikurage"; "wood ear mushroom" or "fungus" on ingredients lists), and byproducts of wakame including 茎わかめ ("kukiwakame," wakame stem) and メカブ ("mekabu," wakame sprouts; both listed as "wakame" or "seaweed" on ingredients lists). You may be able to find this salad in the freezer section of your local Asian grocery store. If you want to approximate the texture of this salad at home, try buying some mixture of ogonori, kikurage, kukiwakame, mekabu, モズク ("mokuzu"), and/or ひじき ("hijiki"). Instructions for the dressing are below.

Ingredients:

For the salad:

2 cups total reconstituted kombu, wakame, hijiki, or other kelp or seaweed

Vegetable additions to seaweed salads are possible and common. Try adding some cucumber, julienned carrots, sliced lotus root, sliked daikon radish, corn, edamame, or sliced onion that's been soaked in plum vinegar for 15 minutes.

If you're including cucumbers, slice them, salt them, allow them to drain in a colander for about 10 minutes, then gently squeeze them of excess liquid, to avoid making your salad watery.

For dressing 1:

1 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar (米酢)

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil (煎りごま油)

1/2 kosher salt

1/2 tsp vegetarian granulated sugar

1/2 tsp Japanese soy sauce (しょうゆ / 醤油) (such as Kikkoman's)

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds (いりごま)

To make U.S. restuarant-style seaweed salad, omit the soy sauce; replace the sugar with high fructose corn syrup; and add a pinch of cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp of onion powder or yeast extract, and a pinch of MSG.

For dressing 2:

2 Tbsp vegan mayonnaise

1/2 tsp unseasoned rice vinegar (米酢)

1/4 tsp dried ground shiitake mushroom, or vegetarian dashi powder

1/4 tsp vegetarian granulated sugar

Drop of djion mustard

Pinch kosher salt

1 tsp Japanese soy sauce (しょうゆ / 醤油) (such as Kikkoman's)

Drizzle of mirin (みりん)

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, ground in a mortar and pestle or spice mill

If you eat eggs, you can replace the first five ingredients with 2 Tbsp Kewpie mayo (キューピーマヨ).

For a halal version, replace the mirin with an extra pinch of sugar.

Instructions:

For the salad:

1. Slice kombu into very thin strips. Slice wakame into thin strips, or leave as-is, as desired. Slice other flat dried seaweed into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

For dressing 1:

1. Whisk all ingredients except sesame seeds together in a small bowl. Toss with seaweed. Top with sesame seeds and serve cold.

For dressing 2:

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Toss with seaweed. Serve cold.

Memo for Episode 11 (Ep.35) “The Hunt”

馬閃(バセン)「茘(リー)、という国名(こくめい)は、その一文字(ひともじ)で、建国(けんこく)の物語(ものがたり)を表(あらわ)している。草(くさ)の下(した)に三(みっ)つの刀(かたな)…。草は華(はな)、帝(みかど)の先祖(せんぞ)である王母(おうぼ)を指(さ)し、その下の三つの刀は王母を助(たす)けた三人(さんにん)の武人(ぶじん)を示(しめ)す。三つの刀のうち、下二(ふた)つに比(くら)べて大(おお)きい刀は、北(きた)の大地(だいち)・子北州(しほくしゅう)を指(さ)す。子北洲一帯(いったい)は、高粱(コーリャン)や麦(むぎ)を栽培(さいばい)していて、さらに北に行(い)くと、山岳地帯(さんがくちたい)が広(ひろ)がり…て、聞(き)いてるのか！？」

Basen “Rī, to-iu koku-mei’wa, sono hito-moji’de, kenkoku’no monogatari’o arawashite-iru. Kusa’no shita’ni mittsu’no katana… Kusa’wa hana, mikado’no senzo-de-aru Obo’o sashi, sono shita’no mittsu’no katana’wa Obo’o tasuketa san-nin’no bujin’o shimesu. Mittsu’no katana’no-uchi, shita futatsu’ni kurabete ookii katana’wa, kita’no daichi, Shi-Hoku-shu’o sasu. Shi-hoku-shu-ittai’wa, kōryan’ya mugi’o saibai-shite-ite, sarani kita’ni ikuto, sangaku-chitai’ga hirogari…te, kiiteru-noka?!”

Basen “The character used to write the name of our nation, ‘Li,’ also depicts the story of its founding. Three swords under grass. ‘Grass’ is for ‘flower,’ representing the Mother Royal, ancestor of the emperor. The three ‘swords’ under it represent the three warriors who helped her. Of the three swords, the one larger sword represents the Shihoku-shu, the northern lands. That entire area grows sorghum and wheat. If you go further north, you enter a mountainous region… Hey, are you listening?!”

In this line, Basen explained the Kanji “茘(リー)” in detail. For your better understanding, please see below.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

馬閃「何でこんな娘を父上(ちちうえ)は…」

Basen “Nande konna musume’o chichi-ue’wa…”

Basen “Why does my father care so much about this girl?”

The fact that he said this to her shows how young and immature he is, although she is also at fault for dozing off while listening to his explanation.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（はて？）「何(なに)か、変(か)わった趣向(しゅこう)でも？」

Maomao (Hate?) “Nanika, kawatta shuko’demo?”

Maomao (Huh?) “Is this some kind of strange rule?”

趣向(しゅこう/Shuko): There seems to be no word which directly refer to it in English… Idea, plan, or taste is used depending on the context.

趣味・趣向(しゅみ・しゅこう) is sometime used in Japanese. 趣味(Shumi) is “hobby”. For example, let’s say I have a hobby of Karaoke and I have a karaoke party with my friends once a month. And I say 「来月は趣向を変えて、コスプレでアニメソングのカラオケパーティをしよう！」. It means “Next month, let’s do something different and have a cosplay karaoke party singing anime songs!” In this case, 趣味(Shumi) is “hobby: karaoke”, and 趣向(Shuko) is “how we enjoy karaoke: cosplay and sing anime songs”. So I guess I can say 趣向(Shuko) is an idea to enjoy something based on your taste.

The word is also used in the following line later;

猫猫（狩りは、宿(やど)から30分(さんじゅっぷん)馬(うま)に揺(ゆ)られ、徒歩(とほ)で一時間(いちじかん)山(やま)を登(のぼ)った高台(たかだい)で行(おこな)われる。お偉方(えらがた)が捕(つか)まえた獲物(えもの)をその場(ば)で調理(ちょうり)するという趣向(しゅこう)のようだ）

Maomao (Kari’wa, yado’kara sanjuppun uma’ni yurare, toho’de ichi-jikan yama’o nobotta taka-dai’de okonawareru. Oera-gata’ga tsukamaeta emono’o sono-ba’de chori-suru-to-iu shuko’no-yoda.)

Maomao (The hunt takes place at a location half an hour away by horse, and then one hour up the mountain by foot. It seems like the point of the event is to cook the game caught by the nobles on the spot.)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「そうですか…」（やっぱり壬氏様はいいとこの出(で)なのか…うん、うん）

Maomao “So-desuka…” (Yappari Jinshi-sama’wa ii-toko’no de nanoka… Un, un.)

Maomao “I see.” (So Master Jinshi is from a good family, after all.)

いいとこ(ii toko): good family, good place = いい所(ところ/tokoro)

The word is also used in the following line later;

李白「こんにちは？あ～！嬢(じょう)ちゃんか！どうしたんだ？こんなとこで」

Rihaku “Kon’nichiwa? Aaa! Jochan-ka! Do-shitanda? Konna toko’de.”

Lihaku “Hello? Hey! Little miss! What are you doing all the way out here?”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

高順「小猫は例(れい)のことを何一(なにひと)つ知(し)らない」

Gaoshun “Shaomao’wa rei’no koto’o nani-hitotsu shira-nai.”

Gaoshun “Xiaomao knows nothing about it.”

例の（れいの/Rei’no）: the, that, it

This word is used in situations where the speaker and listener know what it refers to, or when they feel embarrassed to say it directly. It enables you to speak without a third party being able to understand.

The word is also used again in the following line later;

男１「これが例(れい)の…随分(ずいぶん)小型(こがた)だな」

Otoko-Ichi “Korega rei’no… zuibun kogata dana.”

Man-1 “Is this it? It’s quite small.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「はぁ。もともと壬氏様のお食事(しょくじ)です」

Maomao “Haa. Moto-moto Jinshi-sama’no oshokuji desu.”

Maomao “Well, it’s your food, after all.”

はぁ(Haa): casual and broken way of saying “はい: Yes”. It shows that Maomao is questioning why he asks such a question. Otherwise “はぁ” may be considered a rude response.

もともと(Moto-moto): originally

壬氏「本当にいいのか？！」

Jinshi “Honto’ni ii-noka?!”

Jinshi “Are you absolutely sure?”

Maomao has no idea why he’s asking so emotionally, but you all do, maybe. His condition is already not good at this point, and he seems to be unable to control his emotions.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「ああ。むしろ食え」

Jinshi “Aa. Mushiro kue.”

Jinshi “Yeah. In fact, I order you to.”

むしろ（Mushiro）: rather

むしろ＋命令形(めいれいけい/Meirei-kei: instruction form): Or rather, do it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「なぜと言われましても…そういう体質(たいしつ)ですから」

Maomao “Naze-to iware-mashitemo… So-iu taishitsu desu-kara.”

Maomao “All I can say is that’s just how I’m built.”

体質（たいしつ/Tai-shitsu）: constitution, physical makeup

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（お若(わか)いとは大変(たいへん)である）

Maomao (Owakai-towa taihen’de aru.)

Maomao (It’s not easy being young and vigorous.)

If I translate it directly, it will be “It is tough to be young.” But Maomao’s way of saying is suggestive, such as “��若い” instead of “若い” even though it’s not necessary to add “お”(Keigo, honorific) for Basen in her monologue. And also judging from the context, we can understand that “…and vigorous” is hidden in her line.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（湯(ゆ)あみまでできるとは…贅沢(ぜいたく)だなぁ…。明日(あした)は狩りか…。つつがなく終(お)わるといいけど）

Maomao (Yuami-made dekiru-towa…zeitaku-danaa… Ashita’wa kari-ka… Tsutsuga-naku owaru-to ii-kedo.)

Maomao (A bath, too? How extravagant. The hunt starts tomorrow. I hope it goes without incident.)

つつがなく（Tsutsuga-naku）: formal word which means safely, well, without any incident/trouble.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

男１「ここで、あの方には死んでもらう」

Otoko-Ichi “Koko’de, ano kata’niwa shinde-morau.”

Man-1 “This will be where they die.”

方（かた/Kata）: It’s like a Keigo of “人(ひと/Hito): person”, same as “お方(おかた/Okata)”. With “お” or without, it means honorific feeling to the person. And if it means more than two people, 方 becomes “方々（かたがた/Kata-gata）”, so this 方 only refers to the single person: Jinshi. I wonder why they translated it as “they”, which could lead viewers to mistakenly believe that Maomao was also a target. If I were to translate it, I would use “that gentleman.”

死んでもらう（しんでもらう）: It's hard to translate this expression into English. ～してもらう means “have someone do” and maybe “Here, (is the place where) that gentleman shall die (for us).” would be my direct translation. In Japanese, such expressions are often used, especially in movies or games, just before someone is going to kill the other person, as a softer way of saying.

This line can be more polite, if you change もらう to いただく: ここで、あの方には死んでいただく.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「ちょっとご指名(しめい)があったもので」

Maomao “Chotto goshimei’ga atta-mono’de.”

Maomao “I was asked to join.”

指名する(しめいする/Shimei-suru): ask for a certain person, appoint, designate

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（李白様も指名を受(う)けたのはいいが、地方出身(ちほうしゅっしん)の身(み)。他(ほか)の気位(きぐらい)の高い護衛たちに、追(お)い出(だ)された口(くち)だろう。最近(さいきん)どんどん出世(しゅっせ)しているようだが、その分風当たりは強(つよ)くなる）

Maomao (Rihaku-sama’mo shimei’o uketa-nowa iiga, chiho-shusshin’no-mi. Hoka’no kigurai’no takai goei-tachi’ni, oidasareta kuchi daro. Saikin don-don shusse-shite-iru-yodaga, sono-bun kaze-atari’wa tsuyoku-naru.)

Maomao (Master Lihaku got invited to join too, but he’s from the countryside. The other prideful guards must have pushed him out. He seems to be climbing the ranks recently, but that does tend to be met with resistance.)

～口（くち）だ(～kuchi da): be one of those who～

気位の高い（きぐらいのたかい/Kigurai’no takai）: have lots of pride, prideful

風当たりが強い（かぜあたりがつよい/Kaze-atari’ga tsuyoi）: windy, windswept, receive harsh treatment, greatly criticized

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（避暑地(ひしょち)とはいえ、今日(きょう)は天気(てんき)も良(よ)く暑苦(あつくる)しい。快適(かいてき)に過(す)ごすのも一苦労(ひとくろう)だな…。…こんな暑苦しいのに、ずっと覆面(ふくめん)をつけて…料理(りょうり)にも手(て)を付(つ)けないつもりか？どんなに怪(��や)しい覆面姿(ふくめんすがた)でも、上座(かみざ)に座(すわ)っていれば、この中で一番(いちばん)の上客(じょうきゃく)ということなのだろう）

上座（かみざ/Kami-za）: the top seat of honor, upper seat ⇔ 下座（しもざ/Shimo-za）: the bottom seat, lower seat

I don’t know how it is in China, but in Japan, there are usually 上座 and 下座 in each room, and the guests are guided to 上座. Normally, 上座 is located at the farthest from the door/entrance, and 下座 is at the closest. It depends on each room, and even if it’s not the farthest from the entrance, the seat near the 床の間（とこのま/tokonoma） alcove or one with a good view may be the 上座.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（あれが楼蘭妃(ロウランひ)の父(ちち)、子昌様。子北洲の長(おさ)で、この狩りの主催者(しゅさいしゃ)だ。…ん？何か言われたのか？…いや、あのやたら外面(そとづら)のいい宦官が、あんなあからさまな態度(たいど)を取(と)るだろうか…。もしかすると、この暑さのせいで…）

Maomao (Are’ga Roran-hi’no chichi, Shisho-sama. Shi-Hoku-shu’no osa’de, kono kari’no shusai-sha-da. …N? Nanika iwareta-noka? …Iya, ano yatara soto-zura’no ii kangan’ga, anna akarasama-na taido’o toru-daroka… Moshika-suruto, kono atsusa’no sei’de…)

Maomao (That’s Master Shishou, Concubine Loulan’s father. He is the leader of the Shihoku-shu region and the organizer of this hunt. Hmm? Did he say something to him? Would that infinitely well-mannered eunuch show such an obvious attitude? Wait, could it be, because of the heat…)

外面のいい（そとづらのいい/Soto-zura’no ii）: looks nice outside (but…)

It’s usually used in a negative sense, like “彼は誰にでも外面はいいが、家族には横柄だ（かれは、だれにでもそとづらはいいが、かぞくにはおうへいだ : He looks so nice with everybody outside, but he’s arrogant towards his family.”

あからさまな(Akara-sama-na): obvious, bald, bare, blatant

It’s also usually used in a negative sense, like “彼女はあからさまに私に意地悪だ（かのじょは、あからさまにわたしにいじわるだ/Kanojo’wa akara-sama-ni watashi’ni iji-waru da : She’s obviously mean to me.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「自分でやる！お前のも貸(か)せ。俺の方(ほう)が力(ちから)があるだろう」

Jinshi “Jibun’de yaru! Omae’nomo kase. Ore’no-hoga chikara’ga aru-daro.”

Jinshi “I’ll do it myself. Give me yours, too. I’m stronger than you.”

猫猫「はあ」

Maomao “Haa.”

Maomao “Yes.”

Here is はあ instead of はい again, which shows Maomao is wondering why his mood seems worse. I think they just translated it as “yes”, because replacing by “yeah” or something would sound too rude.

猫猫（良かった…さっきより体調(たいちょう)は良さそうだ。機嫌(きげん)は悪(わる)そうだけど）

Maomao (Yokatta… Sakki-yori taicho’wa yosa-soda. Kigen’wa waru-soda-kedo.)

Maomao (Good, he looks healthier than earlier. His mood seems worse, though.)

It’s interesting that Maomao has no idea about his behavior, in spite that he’s just embarrassed.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「粗末(そまつ)な物(もの)で申(もう)し訳(わけ)ありませんが、食(しょく)していただけますか」

Maomao “Somatsu-na mono’de moshi-wake ari-masen-ga, shoku-shite-itadake-masu-ka.”

Maomao “I know it isn’t much, but would you like to eat any of this?”

粗末な物(そまつなもの/Somatsu-na mono): something shabby/poor/simple

That is a standard phrase to humble, which is used when giving a present in Japan, but in this case Maomao is saying that because butterbur is just a vegetable and it’s not something gorgeous.

～していただけますか(～shite-itadake-masuka): Would you mind if～? Could you～, please? Would it be possible to～?

Although they translated it into “would you like～,” I feel something is off a bit. I think “I’m afraid it’s just something simple, but could you please eat this, please?” is better, because she is not asking him if he’ll eat it, and actually, she’s asking him to eat it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I’m sure you all thought “Don’t end here!” The incident where he jumped into the waterfall wasn’t in the original web novel, so when I read this in the light novel first, I was so surprised and thought “What? What’s going on?!” I’m really looking forward to the next episode, but I’m also a little worried, because some online and YouTube posts have overemphasized the sexiness of the scene. (Sorry, it might be the opposite of what you expect!) Anyway, let’s enjoy the next episode together!

Lotus root hamburger steak (prose, cooking)

Dish

cutting

The lotus root is a sacred plant. It is edible in Japan. It is a bit hard when cooked as is, so at home, I make hamburger steaks. Mix finely chopped 200g lotus root with salt and thyme, also chop 1/2 an onion and add it. Knead it with flour, and shape it into a hamburger steak. Allocate plenty of water, The moisture content should be about the same as that of okonomiyaki. if you knead it too hard it will become hard. Fry in a frying pan with olive oil. It has a chewy texture and is delicious. It is a vegetarian dish that does not use any meat.

蓮根のハンバーグ (prose, cooking)

聖なる植物蓮根。日本では食用にする。そのまま調理すると少々硬いので、我が家ではハンバーグにする。細切れにした２００ｇの蓮根に、塩、タイムを混ぜ、玉ねぎ１/２もみじん切りにして加える。小麦粉と練り合わせて成形する。水を多めに配分し、「お好み焼き」くらいの水分量に。あまりつよく捏ねると硬くなる。フライパンにオリーブオイルを敷いて焼く。もちもちした食感で美味しい。肉を一切使わない、ヴェジタリアン向きの料理。

I've been so busy with work and school...

Either way, I'm surprised.

[MEILING:] But there is one little downside.

Don't tell anyone about this, okay?

-------

メイリン、偉い人ばかりの所で、働かなくてはダメ。

[MEILING:] I have to work somewhere with many important people.

Baba is very important, but I'm not so much.

[MEILING:] So I'll have to be very careful... *sigh* It's so hard.

It's hard in Japan too, but then China is hard. The country is huge, so there are lots of different ethnic groups.

-------

だから人民のため働く。これパーパの言葉。建国の精神ね。

わかるか？メイリン大変なんだよ。

Ｓｏ　Ｉ　ｗｏｒｋ　ｆｏｒ　ｔｈｅ　ｐｅｏｐｌｅ．Ｐａｐａ　ｓａｙ　ｓｏ，　ｂｕｉｌｄ　ｃｏｕｎｔｒｙ！

[MEILING:] So I work for the people. That's what Baba says. That's the spirit of founding a nation.

You understand? Meiling has it hard.

でも、よくメイリンの心オマエ、わかったな。

メイリン、考えること早い。

You really should come to China. You'd be very successful there.

-------

１０億の人民とワタシのために、来てくれれば感謝する。

パーパとマーマも、きっと喜ぶ。

Ｙｏｕ　ｃｏｍｅ　ｔｏ　Ｃｈｉｎａ，　ｍｅ　ａｎｄ１　ｂｉｌｌｉｏｎ　ｐｅｏｐｌｅ　ｔｈａｎｋ　ｙｏｕ！

[MEILING:] The citizens of China and I will be waiting.

Kyaa! So embarrassing! It's like I'm proposing!

I'm gonna run away because I'm embarrassed. But you think about it, okay?

東京都

Japanese Prefectures: Kantō - Tokyo

都道府県 (とどうふけん) - Prefectures of Japan

Learning the kanji and a little bit about each of Japan’s 47 prefectures!

Kanji・漢字

東　ひがし、トウ　east

京　キョウ、ケイ　capital; 10**16 (ten quadrillion)

都　みやこ、ト、ツ　metropolis, capital

関東　かんとう　Kanto, region consisting of Tokyo and surrounding prefectures

The capital of Japan, Tokyo has 23 special wards (東京都区部), 26 cities, 1 district (西多摩郡), and 4 subprefectures (支庁)

Tokyo is the largest urban and industrial agglomeration of Japan. Since ancient times the unassuming fishing village of Edo existed for centuries before the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867) made it into the capital city, while the imperial family remained in Kyoto. The Tokugawa shogunate ended with the Meiji Restoration of 1868, and Edo became the official capital of Japan, renamed to Tokyo, meaning "eastern capital." It was already the largest city in Japan and the population exceeded one million. Now it is one of the world's most populous cities and the largest industrial, commercial, and financial center in Japan. The Imperial Palace, the home of the emperor of Japan, lies at the heart of the city, encircled by stone-walled moats and broad gardens. Tokyo is the chief transportation hub for Japan and an important international traffic center, and also Japan's major cultural center.

Recommended Tourist Spot・おすすめ観光スポット Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - 新宿御苑

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

When it comes to Tokyo there is an endless list of things to do and see. So picking one to highlight was difficult, but I went with a favorite of mine. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, spacious lawns, meandering walking paths and tranquil scenery of Shinjuku Gyoen provide a relaxing escape from the busy urban center around it. In the spring, Shinjuku Gyoen becomes one of the best places in the city to see cherry blossoms, and in the fall the autumn colors are stunning. With an admission fee of only ￥500, it is a wonderful way to get lost in the beauty of an oasis in the middle of the metropolis.

Shinjuku Gyoen, meaning Shinjuku Imperial Garden, originated during the Edo Period (1603-1868) as a feudal lord's Tokyo residence. Later, it was converted into a botanical garden before being transferred to the Imperial Family in 1903 who used it for recreation and for the entertainment of guests. The park was almost completely destroyed during World War II, but was eventually rebuilt and reopened in 1949 as a public park.

There are three main gardens - the Japanese garden, the French garden, and the English garden - as well as a greenhouse full of tropical flowers. There are restaurants and cafes, a tea room, and a rest house with souvenirs. The garden is so large that I have never been able to view it all in one visit.

Regional Cuisine - 郷土料理 Monjayaki - もんじゃ焼き

Monjayaki (source)

A type of pan-fried batter or savoury pancake, monjayaki is Tokyo’s version of okonomiyaki, the iconic dish of Hiroshima and Osaka. Monjayaki looks less like a potato pancake than okonomiyaki and retains a slightly runny appearance similar to melted cheese, even when cooked, but the cooking method remains the same.

The origins of monjayaki or monja can be traced back to a crêpe-like confection known as mojiyaki in the late Edo period. It was called mojiyaki (moji means character, as in hiragana) because people used it to write characters on the hot griddle surface. Monja experienced a popularity boom in the 1980s that led to the birth of Monja Street on Nishinakadori in Tsukishima where today 75 monja restaurants line the street.

To cook monja, first, stir-fry the ingredients, consisting of meats, veggies, cheese, and mochi or crispy noodles – on the griddle. Once they’re almost cooked, form a doughnut shape with a hole in the middle and pour the batter into it. Wait until the batter starts to boil, then mix it all up and press it down with the spatula to better cook it. Then scoop it into a bowl or onto a plate and enjoy.

Tokyo Dialect・Toukyou no hougen・東京の方言

Generally, the Tokyo dialect is taken to be Standard Japanese, although slang can vary between regions and social classes. Traditional dialects in central Tokyo are generally classified in two groups: Yamanote dialect (山の手言葉, Yamanote kotoba) and Shitamachi dialect (下町言葉, Shitamachi kotoba). The Yamanote dialect is characteristic of the old upper class from the Yamanote area. Since the Meiji period, Standard Japanese has been based on the Yamanote dialect. The Shitamachi dialect is a working-class dialect, and it preserves features of Edo Chōnin (Edokko) speech, also called Edo dialect (江戸言葉, 江戸弁, Edo kotoba, Edo-ben). Tokyo-style rakugo is typically played in the Shitamachi dialect.

Tokyo dialect dates back to Tokugawa Ieyasu's establishment of Edo as the main capital. Large groups of people, speaking a range of dialects migrated across the country from the former capital of Kyoto. The Kyoto dialect was the prestige language of the time and strongly influenced the Edo dialect in the early Edo period. The Edo dialect grew as Edo became the largest city in Japan and became the new prestige language in the late Edo period. Because of its unique history, especially in relation to the Kyoto dialect, Tokyo is what is known as a language island in the Kantō region. For example, traditional Kantō dialects have been characterized by the use of volitional and presumptive suffix -be, which is rarely used in Tokyo.

あたぼー　(atabou)　

Standard Japanese: 当たり前　(atari mae) English: obviously

あんまり　(anmari)

Standard Japanese: あまり　(amari) English: not very much

しょっぱい　(shoppai)

Standard Japanese: 塩辛い　(shiokarai) English: salty

でかい　(dekai)

Standard Japanese: 大きい　(ookii) English: big

2024/12/2〜

12月2日すっかり真っ暗の中帰っている。やっぱりここからが、お仕事復帰の本番。お休み前はまだ外が明るかった。

一期下の方から頂いたアドベントカレンダーのハーブティーを開けてみると、クリスマスツリーの形に開く箱でとても可愛かった！今日はもう2日目だけれど、1日目のお茶を飲んだ。濃い紫色だった。

先週末もらった水戸芸術館のタワーのペーパークラフトを出勤前とお昼休みに作り始めた。ハサミを使うのは苦手だけれど、思ったより黙々と作業できて楽しい。坂口恭平さんの“cook”にも手首から先の運動は心に良いと書いてあった気がする。

上司にお付き合いいただいて、一緒に現場に行ってもらったけれど、8割は業者の方とおじさん同士の立ち話で、もう何度同じ話を違う角度から話すんだ？と遠くの茂みや、不意にやってきた女子高生の行列を見ていた。この週末にした趣味の射撃の話や、射撃で撃った鴨や亥豚を解体した話をしていた。相槌すら打つ気力もなく、なんだか私の方もこの人と一緒にお仕事をするのが嫌かもしれない、と思った。もしかしてこうゆう時間の積み重ね故に長い労働時間を生み出しているのか？と気が付いてしまった気持ち。

ちゃんと生活のことをセーブして、夜の時間を過ごせますように。

12月3日今年の年末はインターネットに言葉や写真を置くことはやめよう。とてもつらいから、今年はやめよう。と、思っていたのに、昨日の帰り道にインターネットに置く言葉をずっと考えている頭があった。久しぶりに、国道に車のライトが並ぶ車窓の風景を眺めていたら、まだ何かを考える事ができる頭のエネルギーを使いたくなり、とりあえず文字起こしをしていた。そして、やっぱり少し楽しかった。

年賀状もつらいからやめよう、と思っていた。でも2024年の悲しみを、2025年の年賀状にしようと思った。ずっと悲しかったから、どの写真を使っても悲しみの年賀状になってしまうんだけど。

昨日まだフォローしていなかったとあるアカウントをフォローしたところ、とても嬉しいメッセージをいただいた。インターネットと写真を、ぎりぎりでも続けてきてよかった、とこうゆう時に思わせてもらえる。

社会の方々ときのこの山とたけのこの里で関わっていこうキャンペーンを続けてしまっていて、今日も、何でこんなことしてしまったんだ？と帰り道に死にたくなってしまった。わざわざ「お菓子ありがとうございました」と話しかけてくれた方もいて、普通に「ペーパークラフトのお礼です！」と返答をすればよかったのに、よくわからないモードでよくわからない返答をして、相手に困り笑いをさせてしまった気がする。普通に会話ができない。

やっと明るくなった寒い朝の時間に毎日すれ違う方と、今日は暗い帰り道にもすれ違った。

アドベントカレンダーのハーブティー、今日は黄緑色の草の匂いがするお茶でした。
