Soy
bean is the so-called "meat
in a field". But there is a
feature of indigestion in it. Japanese
people has made a various processed
foods such as tofu, fermented soy
beans (nattou), dried bean
curd (yuba), ganmodoki
(tofu product), miso soup,
soy sauce, and cooked them as the
precious source of protein at table
from the ancient times.
This
dish is cooked with such soy beans
boiled in cha meshi. In order
to cook aromatic and tasty cha
meshi, it needs time and labor.
People in the past might have a
great effort to make cha meshi.

including drop tea, soybeans, chirimenjako
which has plenty of calcium. Today,
wisdom of people in the past like
this can be fully accepted without
dietetic knowledge. A peculiar smell
of chirimenjako would not
be care with the aroma of roasted
tea. |
