Kinoko no Miso Shiru; Mushroom Miso Soup 

[demonslayedher]

It's true, though. At least by the recipes I follow, every ingredient in shoga-tsukudani is also used in simmered salmon & daikon.

I had more in this meal, though, so omake below the cut.

Was looking for ohagi but most of the ohagi in the grocery store is huge, so I got these tiny ones which also had sakura-mochi style ingredients. Since one satsuma-imo lasts me forever, I've been experimenting with frozen satsuma-imo and onions for quicker miso soup, so I'll probably have more meals with the culinary equivalent of Rengoku-san photobombing the scene.

Links to more details about these foods and/or my first attempts at making them:

Simmered Salmon & Daikon (shake-daikon) Ginger Simmered in Soy Sauce & Sugar (shouga-tsukudani) Sweet Potato Miso Soup (satsumaimo miso-shiru) Ohagi (you know... ohagi) Didn't actually analyze Cherry Blossom Rice Cakes (sakura-mochi), just ate a bunch of them with this adorable flower-viewing bentou.

Ở nhiều quốc gia, bữa sáng là bữa ăn nhẹ với ngũ cốc và trái cây. Ngược lại, bữa sáng truyền thống của Nhật Bản có thể được coi là bữa ăn thịnh soạn, thường bao gồm cơm trắng (gohan/ steamed rice), súp miso (shiru / miso soup), cá nướng (yakizakana/ grilled fish), trứng cuộn (tamagoyaki/ Japanese rolled omelet), đậu nành lên men (natto/fermented soybeans), rau củ muối (tsukemono/ pickled vegetables), rong biển khô (nori/ dried seasoned seaweed), một đĩa nhỏ salad kiểu Nhật là các loại rau luộc ngâm vào nước tương và dashi (dashi-tsuyu) gọi là ohitashi (お浸し/ Japanese blanched greens with savory broth). Cuối cùng sẽ thưởng thức trà nóng.

Bữa sáng truyền thống của Nhật Bản là một hành trình sâu sắc lưu giữ các giá trị lịch sử, kết nối thiên nhiên với con người, coi trọng sự đơn giản và tìm kiếm sự cân bằng trong cuộc sống hàng ngày. Bởi nó tuân theo khái niệm "ichiju sansai" (一汁三菜): Một bữa ăn với một món súp và ba món ăn kèm. Thực đơn này giúp đảm bảo bữa sáng đầy đủ, cung cấp các chất dinh dưỡng và năng lượng cần thiết để bắt đầu ngày mới một cách tốt đẹp.

Ý nghĩa văn hóa của bữa sáng Nhật Bản không chỉ dừng lại ở những món ăn ngon, mà còn phản ánh các giá trị của Nhật Bản (bắt nguồn từ cả Thần đạo và Phật giáo) về sự giản dị, vẻ đẹp, tôn trọng môi trường và trân trọng các thành phần theo mùa.

Thói quen sử dụng thực phẩm theo mùa nhấn mạnh đến sự kết nối giữa thiên nhiên và cuộc sống. Sự chú tâm này đối với môi trường và sự thay đổi của các mùa đã ăn sâu vào Nhật Bản. Hơn nữa, thực phẩm theo mùa có nghĩa là người ta đang ăn những thực phẩm tươi nhất có thể. Một số loại thực phẩm cũng được cho là có tác dụng "làm mát" trong những tháng mùa hè nóng ẩm và những loại thực phẩm khác được tiêu thụ để "làm ấm" trong mùa đông.

Bữa sáng kiểu Nhật có thể bắt nguồn từ lịch sử phong phú và lâu đời của Nhật Bản. Người ta cho rằng gạo đã được trồng ở Nhật từ năm 400 trước Công nguyên, trong thời kỳ Jomon (縄文時代) và một thiên niên kỷ sau đó, gạo đã trở thành món ăn chính trong xã hội Nhật Bản. Lúa gạo có tác động lớn không chỉ đến chính trị, kinh tế mà còn đến văn hóa, tín ngưỡng. Nhiều lễ hội trên khắp Nhật Bản để cầu nguyện và tạ ơn các vị thần ruộng lúa cho một mùa màng bội thu. Có thể nói, biết ơn lúa gạo là một tình cảm tự nhiên và không thể thiếu đối với người Nhật trong cuộc sống hằng ngày.

Gạo ​​thường được ăn riêng như một bữa ăn và trong nhiều thế kỷ, bữa sáng cũng không ngoại lệ. Tuy nhiên, theo thời gian, gạo bắt đầu được kết hợp với các loại thực phẩm khác. Phương pháp ăn cơm và các món phụ xen kẽ nhau và trộn lẫn các hương vị trong miệng khi nhai được gọi là nêm gia vị trong miệng (口中調味).

Đến thời Edo (1603-1868), người Nhật bắt đầu chế biến những bữa sáng phức tạp, bao gồm cơm, cá và rau ngâm. Truyền thống ẩm thực phát triển khi xã hội trở nên tiên tiến hơn cùng với cuộc cải cách Minh Trị (明治維新) bắt đầu vào năm 1868, văn hóa ẩm thực của quốc đảo này bắt đầu chịu ảnh hưởng từ hoạt động giao thương với các quốc gia khác ở Châu Á, Châu Âu, dần dần hình thành bữa sáng truyền thống của Nhật Bản gọi là 和朝食(wa-cho-shoku, Japanese style breakfast) hay 和定食(wa-te-shoku, Japanese style set meal - nếu bạn ăn vào buổi sáng thì nó cũng mang nghĩa tương tự).

Sau này, bữa sáng truyền thống được xem là bữa ăn chính của người Nhật. Nhiều người Nhật trước đây là nông dân và ngư dân. Họ không ăn sáng trước khi đi làm. Họ bắt đầu ngày mới ngay sau khi thức dậy lúc mặt trời mọc. Ngư dân rời đi thậm chí còn sớm hơn và làm việc trong vài giờ. Sau đó, khoảng 8 - 9 giờ sáng, họ trở về nhà để thưởng thức bữa sáng rồi quay lại làm việc. Đó là lý do tại sao bữa sáng truyền thống rất thịnh soạn. Ngày nay, người Nhật không ăn nhiều như vậy nhưng bữa sáng vẫn là một thói quen tốt đẹp để người Nhật thức dậy cùng mặt trời và kết nối với thiên nhiên.

Điều này dễ thấy hơn khi đi du lịch, người Nhật vẫn luôn yêu thích nghỉ ngơi tại ryokan (nhà trọ truyền thống của Nhật Bản) bởi tại đây thường giới thiệu các bữa sáng đặc biệt với những món ngon của vùng miền và đặc sản theo mùa. Sự chuẩn bị tỉ mỉ, các thành phần đa dạng theo mùa được kết hợp hài hoà thành các món ăn ấm và lạnh, cách bày biện tinh tế giữa các đĩa nhỏ khiến bữa sáng kiểu Nhật trở thành một trải nghiệm độc đáo và thẩm mỹ. Dựa trên triết lý phương Đông rằng cơ thể chúng ta cùng thức dậy với mặt trời, chúng ta nên bắt đầu bữa ăn đầu tiên trong ngày bằng những thực phẩm có giá trị dinh dưỡng toàn diện. Một bữa sáng ngon miệng giúp cung cấp năng lượng, điều hòa huyết áp và chuẩn bị tinh thần và thể chất cho cả ngày. Do đó, bữa sáng ngày nay của người Nhật vẫn duy trì và kế thừa tính truyền thống về thẩm mỹ. Đó là kết hợp tinh tế và chu đáo về màu sắc, hương vị, mùi thơm và kết cấu. ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ - một tâm trí minh mẫn trong một cơ thể cường tráng là câu châm ngôn kinh điển hàm chứa rất nhiều sự uyên bác. Nó nhắc nhở tinh thần và sức khoẻ liên kết chặt chẽ với nhau. Bởi vậy, thức dậy cùng mặt trời, tự chuẩn bị bữa sáng, thưởng thức thực phẩm theo mùa là ikigai để người Nhật tìm thấy sức khoẻ và sự minh mẫn. Dù phát triển hiện đại tới đâu, người Nhật luôn tin rằng tự chuẩn bị bữa sáng tại nhà là một thói quen tốt để bắt đầu ngày mới, tái tạo cơ thể và tinh thần.

L'ALGUE WAKAME

Le wakamé, ou Undaria pinnatifida, est une algue marine comestible originaire des eaux côtières de l'Asie de l'Est, notamment du Japon, de la Corée et de la Chine. Sa récolte et sa consommation remontent à plusieurs siècles, et elle occupe une place importante dans la cuisine japonaise, où elle est souvent utilisée dans des soupes, des salades et des plats mijotés.

Historique : Le wakamé a été traditionnellement cultivé et récolté par les bateaux de pêche dans les eaux froides des côtes asiatiques. Sa popularité s'est étendue au-delà de l'Asie au cours des dernières décennies, notamment grâce à la mondialisation des cuisines et à l'intérêt croissant pour la cuisine saine. Aujourd'hui, le wakamé est largement disponible dans le monde entier, souvent sous forme déshydratée, ce qui le rend facile à conserver et à préparer.

Qualités nutritionnelles : Le wakamé est reconnu pour sa richesse nutritive. C'est une excellente source de nutriments essentiels tels que les fibres, les vitamines (notamment la vitamine K, les vitamines du groupe B, et la vitamine C), ainsi que des minéraux comme le calcium, le magnésium, le fer et l'iode. En raison de sa faible teneur en calories, le wakamé est souvent intégré dans des régimes alimentaires équilibrés.

De plus, le wakamé contient des composés bioactifs tels que des antioxydants et des polysaccharides, qui peuvent contribuer à des effets bénéfiques sur la santé, notamment en soutenant le système immunitaire et en aidant à réguler le métabolisme. Certaines études suggèrent également que le wakamé pourrait avoir des propriétés anti-inflammatoires et anticancéreuses.

Valeur culinaire : Le wakamé possède une texture délicate et une saveur douce qui peuvent rehausser divers plats. Traditionnellement, il est utilisé dans le célèbre miso shiru (soupe miso) et dans des salades comme le wakame salad, qui combine l'algue avec du concombre, du sésame et une vinaigrette légère. Il peut également être incorporé dans des sushis ou des rouleaux de printemps.

En résumé, le wakamé est bien plus qu'un simple ingrédient culinaire. Avec son histoire riche et ses multiples bienfaits pour la santé, il représente un choix alimentaire précieux et nutritif qui mérite d'être intégré dans nos régimes alimentaires modernes.

Miso Shiru

Forget the gender - which soup are you

[magazynkulinarny]

Zupa miso

Miso-shiru (z jap. 味噌 to pasta miso, a 汁 to płyn, ekstrakt) – jest tradycyjną japońską zupą jadaną w Kraju Kwitnącej Wiśni praktycznie codziennie, o różnych porach dnia, jako dodatek do posiłków. 

Serwuje się ją w niedużych miseczkach, bez łyżki, tylko z pałeczkami (gęstą treść zjada się pałeczkami, a bulion wypija wprost z naczynia).

Przygotowuje się ją na bazie bulionu dashi z dodatkiem sfermentowanej pasty sojowej miso oraz rozmaitych składników, zależnie od regionu i indywidualnych upodobań. 

Dashi można samodzielnie zrobić w domu z wodorostów kombu (głównie listownicy japońskiej) i płatków suszonego tuńczyka pasiastego bonito (katsuobushi), jednak nawet Japończycy bardzo często robią dashi z proszku (katsuo kombu dashi, iwashi dashi, niboshi dashi).

Na szeroko pojętym Zachodzie najpopularniejszą wersją miso-shiru jest bulion dashi z miso, miękkim (jedwabnym) tofu, grzybami (shiitake, maitake, shimeji, ostryga królewska inaczej zwana trąbką, enoki) i wodorostami wakame. Ale nie w Japonii. Tam odmian miso-shiru jest tyle, ile drobniaków w śwince skarbonce. Przede wszystkim w tamtejszej tradycji kulinarnej dodatkowe składniki zupy powinny wpisywać się w aktualną porę roku, a także tworzyć kontrasty pomiędzy kolorami, konsystencją i smakami. Często więc spotyka się połączenie cebuli siedmiolatki (czosnek dęty) negi z tofu, albo składników pływających po powierzchni, jak wodorosty, z ziemniakami, które opadają na dno, czy też tłustych, jak smażone tofu, z chudymi, jak szparagi. 

W skład miso-shiru często wchodzą składniki takie, jak: grzyby, rzodkiew daikon, ziemniaki, cebula, marchew, bakłażany, wodorosty, ryby i inne owoce morza, ale również mięso (choć znacznie rzadziej). 

Poniżej – dla zobrazowania prawdziwego kalejdoskopu rodzajów tych zup – wyszukałam w Internecie: miso ze szparagami, miso z parówkami, groszkiem śnieżnym i shiitake, miso z dynią, porem i sardynkami, miso z boczniakiem i jarmużem, miso z konjakiem, marchwią i rzodkwią daikon, miso z kolokazją i daikonem, miso ze szpinakiem, boczkiem i mlekiem kokosowym, czy miso z poduszeczkami z tofu i warzywami itd.

Następna sprawa, która wpływa na smak japońskiej zupy to rodzaj użytego miso. Fachowcy rozróżniają pięć, a nawet sześć rodzajów miso: surowe (niepasteryzowane) miso, czerwone (aka) miso, białe (saikyo) miso, jasne (shinshu) miso, ciemne (hatcho) miso i miso pszenne. Zwyczajowo mówi się o jasnym i ciemnym miso, przyjmując za rozgraniczenie odcień pasty. Można użyć dowolnego rodzaju, a także połączyć różne. Wszystkie odmiany uznawane są za cenne źródło enzymów, bakterii kwasu mlekowego, witamin B, K i D oraz minerałów (potas, żelazo, wapń, fosfor). 

Moje miso-shiru to wspomniana wyżej najpowszechniejsza w krajach zachodnich wersja: z tofu (preferowane jedwabne, ale nie trafiłam na takie w sklepie), grzybami shiitake i wakame. Dorzuciłam też szczypior i garść rukwi wodnej, żeby było nieco bardziej świeżo i chrupiąco.

Jeśli potrzebujecie wzmocnienia w tym niby maju - a nie lubicie lub nie macie czasu na gotowanie klasycznego rosołu - to ta zupa na pewno Wam je zapewni.

Składniki:

Dashi kombu wielkości damskiej dłoni solidna garść katsuobushi

Miso-shiru 2 łyżki pasty miso (u mnie Inaka Aka) 7-8 suszonych grzybów shiitake ok. 1/2 szklanki glonów wakame 100 g tofu 1-2 dymki garść rukwi wodnej

Wykonanie:

Grzyby zalać gorącą wodą i odstawić na ok. 15 minut, a glony wakame zalać zimną wodą i odstawić na tyle samo czasu (bardzo zwiększą objętość, więc zwykły kubek - jak przy shiitake - nie wystarczy).

Dymkę opłukać i drobno posiekać. Tofu osuszyć papierowym ręcznikiem i pokroić w centymetrową kostkę.

Dashi Do garnka z połową litra zimnej wody wrzucić kombu (może być połamane na mniejsze kawałki, albo większy płat). Doprowadzić wodę do wrzenia, a gdy zacznie bulgotać wyjąć wodorosty i wrzucić płatki ryby bonito. Zmniejszyć ogień do maleńkiego i gotować ok. 5 minut.

Można również namoczyć wodorosty w zimnej wodzie na 2-3 godziny, a potem działać z katsuobushi, ale to znacznie wydłuży proces przygotowań.

Po tym czasie bulion przelać przez gęste sito do drugiego naczynia, a żałośnie wyglądające katsobushi wyrzucić. Dashi jest gotowe.

Miso-shiru Do chochli włożyć miso, nabrać odrobinę dashi i bezpośrednio nad garnkiem lekko mrugającego bulionu wymieszać pałeczkami pastę, aż do rozpuszczenia grudek. Wlać do zupy, wymieszać i spróbować. Jeśli okaże się mało wyraźne w smaku, dodać nieco więcej miso (na chochlę, wymieszać i do zupy).

Dodać pokrojone w paseczki grzyby, tofu, pocięte na mniejsze kawałki glony, rukiew i szczypior. Wymieszać i nakładać do miseczek.

The best wingman covers you so your girl won't see you while you eat, or something like that.

As I still have frozen satsuma-imo to make into miso soup, here is Rengoku-san Pillar-bombing an Obamitsu meal with Iguro's favorite tororo-konbu and one of Mitsuri's favorites, pork cutlet.

Omake below the cut~

My leftovers were a more simple katsu & tororo konbu soumen. No miso soup, so they had some privacy for this meal?? By the way, the chopsticks are some Izumo Taisha, one of the biggest and bestest shrines to pray for matchmaking, ufufufu~

The oil was too hot, so I overcooked my katsu this time and it wasn't as amazing as the time I made it for this amazingly adorable bentou, nor did the hearts come out as well. Oh well... plus, there was this whole fiasco with my panko having gone bad, and sprinting to the store, and just plain forgetting to pay like a total ditz, and then sprinting back to the store, and then sprinting home to finally finish cooking, and then having forgotten to get something to clean up the oil afterward anyway... sigh.

Found Family, Rest & Recovery, Wholesome, KakaYama, SFW, Kakashi Hatake, Tenzō Yamato, Mitsuki

The light of morning shines brightly through the window, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and home cooked breakfast fills the air. What time was it? How long has it been? With a week off from ANBU duties, the days seemingly bleed together. With warm cashmere blankets keeping the sleeping Mokuton user snugly nestled into the bed, the smell and sounds echoing throughout the apartment threaten to wake him from slumber. It isn’t until his name is called out in a familiar soft voice with a hot breath against his ear does he finally stir from his sleep. 

“Tenzō.”

“Mmm…” Comes the brunette’s sluggish and sleepy reply as he rolls over to face where the voice came from. Brown eyes slowly part open to gaze over at the silver haired male laying on the bed beside him as a hand reaches out to gently caress the side of his face. “Morning, Senpai.” He responds groggily as the pad of Kakashi’s thumb lightly brushes across the lithe of his cheek.

“Good morning, Tenzō.” Kakashi responds softly, leaning forward to place a loving and chaste kiss to Tenzo’s lips. “It’s time to get up. I made us breakfast.” Pulling back slowly, a smile tugs at the corner of his unmasked lips.

Tenzō smiles back in response, his eyes opening a bit wider as they adjust to the light pouring into their bedroom. “Mmm, sounds good. Smells good, too.” With a big yawn, the younger male reaches his hand up to cover his mouth. Kami only knows if his morning breath was offensive enough to drive off his lover, so he didn’t want to chance it. Once finished, he slides his hand over to rest atop Kakashi’s which was still cupping his cheek.

“Maa, it’s not that amazing… I just made our favorites. Tamago kake gohan, tamagoyaki, yakizakana, tsukemono, miso shiru, and some blanched seasoned kobachi.” Kakashi mentions as his hand falls from Tenzō’s face to rest on the bed.

“Don’t sell yourself short, Kakashi. I know I enjoy your cooking regardless, and so does-” The Mokuton user stops in the middle of his sentence as a little white haired boy comes running into their bedroom and leaps upon the bed in between them.

“Captain Yamato! I’m glad you’re finally awake. Me and the Hokage have a surprise for you.” The boy says with mild excitement in his voice.

“Oh? You do, huh? What were you two planning while I was resting?” Tenzō asks as he slowly sits up with a stretch before looking at Kakashi with a curious expression.

“I thought we weren’t going to say anything about the surprise until after breakfast, Mitsuki.” Kakashi comments as he begins to stand from the bed.

“I couldn’t resist any longer… Now hurry up Captain Yamato, breakfast is getting cold, and I want to tell you what the surprise is.” Mitsuki then climbs down from the bed and grabs Kakashi’s hand, practically dragging the man out of the bedroom.

Tenzō smiles a bit wider at the sight of the two walking out of the bedroom hand in hand, it fills him with warmth and pride. It was well worth the fight he had put up against Orochimaru in order to get Mitsuki away from him, granted the arduous battle left him chakra exhausted- It was the whole reason he had been given the week off in order to recover.

Without further delay, the Mokuton user moves himself out of bed and grabs his yukata. It doesn’t take him long to put it on and emerge from the bedroom. Walking into the dining area, he spots the table set up with a breakfast feast. “Wow, Kakashi. You’ve really outdone yourself.” Tenzō says with a surprised expression crossing his countenance.

“Well, it might just be like this everyday now that we have another mouth to feed in our house. Go on ahead and tell him, Mitsuki.” Kakashi replies, turning his stormy grey eyes over towards Mitsuki.

Peering at Tenzō with his signature smile, Mitsuki holds up a legal document. “I’m officially Mitsuki Hatake-Yamato.”

“Wha-... Kakashi… You… You mean we’re a… A family?” Brown eyes go wide with shock as he looks from Mitsuki to the paper held up in his hand and then over towards his husband. “We’re actually a family?!” Tenzō reiterates his words, attempting to quell his urge to rush over to the both of them and hold them close.

“Yup. You look shocked… I told you I was going to start the paperwork. Even if it hadn’t been approved, we still would have made it work, Tenzō.” The silver haired Hokage answers as he stands up and walks over to the brunette. “I know you want to hug me, just do it already… I’m afraid that if you hold it in any longer you’re going to explode like a paper bomb.”

With permission granted, Tenzō hastily wraps his arms around Kakashi and buries his face into his shoulder. “I… I’m happy… I know we would have all been together anyway, but… It’s still so surreal. I mean, it’s officially recognized, and on paper. We have a family!” Tears begin to well up in Tenzō’s eyes as his heart overflows with joy.

Mitsuki watches the scene unfold before him and feels something inside of him urging him over towards the two. Getting out of his seat he strides over to their side and looks up with concern as he sees Tenzō crying. “Don’t cry, Captain- Well, I suppose I shouldn’t call you that anymore… Perhaps the name parent is more appropriate now.”

Hearing Mistuki’s words, Tenzō turns his attention to the boy standing beside them and lets go of Kakashi while wiping away his tears using the sleeve of yukata. “Don’t worry, Mitsuki. These aren’t tears of sadness, they’re tears of joy…” Kneeling down to level with his new son, the brunette smiles at him warmly. “You can also call me father or dad if you want, unless you’re more comfortable with parent. I’ll still respond.”

Mitsuki’s eyes light up with surprise, and there is a gleam in them that has never been seen before, nor experienced by him. Abruptly, the white haired child launches himself forward, wrapping his arms around Tenzō in a strong embrace. “F-Father…” He murmurs out in a shaky voice filled with emotion.

Tenzō is surprised by the reaction, but enjoys it nonetheless, reciprocating with his own arms wrapping around the small being who just called him father for the first time. “I love and care about you, Mitsuki… My son… My family.” Warmth and joy fills the Mokuton user’s being in this moment, and more tears begin to fall, he couldn’t believe that he had finally found and made a family to call his own. Between his husband and the child in his arms, this was the greatest day in his life aside from his emancipation from ROOT, and marrying Kakashi.

Kanata: Having fun...?

Zen: Yeah! You had a good expression, Kanata-kun!

Kanata: Oh, really.

Iori: ‘Sup with that thin reaction~?

Kanata: It doesn’t matter how good if we lose, after all.

Zen: There’s no such thingーー

Kanata: We get no money if we lose, we ain’t doing it for fun.

Iori: ‘s good to have ambitions, I like that kinda dazzle.

Kanata: Thanks.

Iori: Yer next opponent is us, Akan Yatsura. Haha, seem like it’d be an interestin’ match!

Kanata: Suiseki-san, I have one thing I want to ask you...

Iori: What’s it? Say it.

Kanata: Your team... Akan Yatsura’s other members, do they know about this?

Iori: Whatcha mean by “this”?

Kanata: That you’re collecting metals behind the scenes. Using people like me, doing business you can’t talk about to others. [1]

Zen: You...!

Iori: Ooh, how unusual.

Kanata: Huh?

Iori: Askin’ stuff about other people... I thought ya ain’t interested in anyone but yer lil’ bro.

Kanata: I didn’t meanーー

Iori: No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know.

Kanata: ...!

Iori: Rest assured, they know nothin’.

Kanata: Is that so.

Zen: That’s why, you don’t have to worry during our match, too! Let’s ignore our standings and collide with all of our strength!

Kanata: “Stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, you said... well yeah, of course you won’t tell them a thing.

Zen: Huh?

Kanata: The end for people who keeps using phantometals, that is.

Zen: That’s...!

Kanata: “Team is family”... saying stuff like “family”, but not telling them the important things... only showing the good stuff, you’re just deceiving and using them idiots, huh?

Zen: You’re wrong! They’re fully aware of the metal���s risks andーー

Kanata: Nobody can stop the erosion once it’s started. You’ll melt, and get swallowed by the metal - do they know this too?

Zen: ...!

Kanata: Suiseki-san... that name of yours, it’s the name of the ex-boss who were killed in the attack incident, right?

Iori: What’s that? Yanno it well, don’tcha?

Kanata: I looked it up, you know? ‘Cause I don’t like getting used one-sidedly.

Iori: Ooh~? The lil’ rat in my control’s be playin’ detective and tryna threaten the Suiseki Iori, that it?

Kanata: Stop screwin’ around...

Iori: Ha?

Kanata: Suiseki-san... you inherited a name and now you feel like you’re family? If you’re a family... if you guys think you’re a real family, then why do you let them do stuff that’ll whittle their own life? Families share everything, however dirty or painful it is. There ain’t a need for secrets! No need for secrecy! If it’s to protect another’s life, then your own life don’t matter! That’s what a “family” is, ain’t it!?

Iori: Are ya... tellin’ yerself that?

Kanata: Ha?

Iori: Both ‘a us keep secrets from our family, don’t we? Did ya tell yer lil’ bro about this business? About the metal...

Kanata: ...!

Iori:  “No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, ain’t we the same?

Kanata: Don’t lump me with you! I do it to protect Nayuta!! Unlike you guys who do it to conveniently use them!

Zen: You...!! You’re crossing the line!!

Kanata: The next match!

Iori & Zen: ?

Kanata: We’ll absolutely win. There’s no way we’ll lose to a mock family like you!

Iori & Zen: ...

Kanata: Nayuta and I... we’ll hammer into you all that cozmez’s the most terrific.

(Kanata walks away.)

Iori: Haha, “mock family”, huh. He said something clever. Sounds extreme delicious if you put it an oden! [2]

Zen: Waka!

Iori: Hey. You’re s’posed to laugh just now!

Zen: ...! I’m sorry, but...! There will come a time one day that Kanata-kun will have to see the reality... the truth. For that reason, Waka purposefully collected metals...

Iori: It’s fine. ’s a child who’ve been hurt terribly by dirty adults up ‘til now. Well, that ‘stray cat’ kinda part of him made me can’t ignore him, though.

Zen: Sigh. We’re not a charity, you know? 

Iori: I know that~! ‘s why, we’ll win the live. We’ll seize the 10 billion without fail. Rest assured! Plus, on that case too... I’ll settle it without fail. [3]

Zen: Yes.

Iori: Well then, I’ll be goin’ out for a while.

Zen: To where?

Iori: A secret, s-e-c-r-e-t!

Zen: ...

Iori: What’s with tha’ face? Haha, don’tcha worry. ‘S minor business, minor business.

(Iori walks away.)

Iori: See ya!

Zen: ...Minor business, he said... Sigh. Waka, if it’s for you, I intend to do any job, whatever it is.   Even so, why are you always, by yourself... Sigh. “Family”, huh...

(Sound of train passing through.)

(Kanata opens the door.)

Kanata: I’m home.

Nayuta: Oh, welcome home, Kanata.

Kanata: How are you feeling, Nayuta? Your fever?

Nayuta: Mm, I’m fine already. Anyways, where’d you go? When I woke up, you’re gone.

Kanata: Sorry, just doing a minor business. In return, here.

(Kanata opens a plastic bag.)

Nayuta: Huh? It’s Raimen-tei!

Kanata: You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s eat before it gets cold. Chuuka-don and gomoku yakisoba [4]. Which one you want?

Nayuta: You choose, Kanata.

Kanata: I’m fine with whichever. Get what you want, Nayuta.

Nayuta: ...No.

Kanata: Huh?

Nayuta: Kanata is always like that. You always put me first.

Kanata: What’s up, suddenly?

Nayuta: I don’t like stuff like that. Kanata, you have to take care of yourself more. Kanata, you always think of me first. But even I want to put Kanata first, too.

Kanata: Huh?

Nayuta: That’s why, today, you choose, Kanata.

Kanata: Sigh. Fine. Then, I’ll get the yakisobaーno, let’s share it half and half. Then we can eat both, right?

Nayuta: You’re right, but...

Kanata: “Sharing everything is what a family is”, right?

_

Kanata: Aah, it was good! We’re full now, so, let’s sleep.

Nayuta: Kanata.

Kanata: Huh?

Nayuta: There’s something that’s always been on my mind...

Kanata: What?

Nayuta: I don’t think we can continue being like this.

Kanata: Ha?

Nayuta: Um... I think it’s better for Kanata to go out more. It’s better for you to widen your world.

Kanata: You... what are you saying, suddenly?

Nayuta: I understood from our battle with BAE the other day... because Kanata was different. 

Kanata: Me? Ha, which part? I’m just as usualーー

Nayuta: No, you were different. You were... you were way, way better than the usual Kanata.

Kanata: ...!

Nayuta: I think... it’s probably because of the thing with BAE. After that, Kanata started making the track with amazing vigor, right?

Kanata: That’s... I just didn’t want to lose against those naive guys, that’s all.

Nayuta: That day’s stage... I felt it. That our music have a way amazing future. That meeting changed Kanata. I felt it, you do too, don’t you?

Kanata: ...!

Nayuta: You can’t keep being closed off like this. If we stay only in our world... one day, we’ll reach our limits.

Kanata: Don’t say stupid things! Weren’t we always the best!? Nayuta and I - what else do we need!?

Nayuta: Other people.

Kanata: ...!

Nayuta: Other people’s music. Other people’s passion. Hope. Desire. That’s what will make you stronger, Kanata.

Kanata: ...

Nayuta: That’s why, Kanata. Go out more. Meet other people. If you do, cozmez can go to greater heights.

Kanata: Then, Nayuta, you too. With meーー

Nayuta: I’m not going.

Kanata: Why!?

Nayuta: You understand, don’t you? I can’t go.

Kanata: What are youーー

Nayuta: You have to go by yourself, Kanata.

Kanata: Ha?

Nayuta: Kanata, for yourself.

Kanata: ...!

(Sound of train passing through.)

Kanata: Stop screwing around... STOP SCREWING AROUND!!

(Kanata kicks some stuff.)

Kanata: What the hell are you on about!? “Go by yourself”!? Don’t screw with me!!

Nayuta: ...

Kanata: We were always together... we did everything with only the two of us, didn’t we!? When we got hit by shitty adults, when we ran away from the orphanage...!! Hungry, frozen, when we live by drinking muddy water...!!

Nayuta: Yeah... Kanata always protected me.

Kanata: I’m fine if I only have you, Nayuta!! Other people’s music, passion, who the hell cares about that!? I don’t ー we don’t need it! I always told you, don’t I!? If we’re together, we’re the strongest...!!

Nayuta: Kanata...

Kanata: Don’t... leave me alone... I... it’s enough if I only have Nayuta...

Nayuta: Kanata... I’m the same. I want to make Kanata happy. Because you’re my number one... I want to make you happy even if it costs me my life.

(Kanata cries.)

Nayuta: Don’t cry, Kanata... I’m sorry... There’s nothing else I can do...

(Sound of train passing.)

(Reo bangs on the door.)

Reo: Satsuki-chan!! Hey, get a grip!! Until when are you going to be in the toilet!? Make it fast, Satsuki-chan!! Are you pooping!? Hey, are you pooping!!?

(Satsuki opens the door.)

Satsuki: I’m not pooping, you shitty brat!!

Reo: Waahhh, stinky!!! You really were pooping!!

Satsuki: Shut up!! You just have to pinch your nose and get in!!

Zen: Hey! Be good and use the toilet in order! Jeez, even though we’re about to eat.

(Hokusai puts plates and chopsticks on the table.)

Hokusai: I’m done putting the plates and chopsticks on the table... What should I do next...?

Zen: Thank you, Hokusai! Then, please get the usual out.

Hokusai: Okay.

Iori: Yawn... Oh, smells good. 

Zen: Today’s miso-shiru is Waka’s favorite, potato miso-shiru!

Iori: Ooh, ‘s merry! Ooh... dried horse mackerel, spinach ohitashi, hijiki, and tamagoyaki, huh... [5] Good work as usual.

Zen: Not at all. A healthy mind dwell in a healthy body! Eating is important, after all!

Iori: Haha, yer right, but..

Hokusai: Zen. Strawberry, banana, and yoghurt... which one?

Iori: Eatin’ protein as dessert’s kindaーー

Zen: Ah! Waka, in place of closing tea, would you like the matcha flavor?

Iori: No... yeah.

_

Iori: Alright!

Satsuki & Reo: Let’s dig in!!

Hokusai: Let’s eat.

(Sound of door bell ringing.)

Iori: Huh? Who is it at this time?

Zen: Is it some kind of a salesperson?

(Door bell keeps ringing.)

Satsuki: So noisy!

(Satsuki stands up.)

Satsuki: Zen-nii, I’ll drive them away quick!

(Door bell keeps ringing.)

Satsuki: Oi, you’re bein’ noisy so early in the morning!! Get aーー

(Satsuki opens the door.)

Satsuki: ...!? Eh!?

Reo: Hey, did you reject them properly?

Hokusai: Satsuki.

Satsuki: Ah, no... when I opened the door, he’s standing in the foyer...

Reo: Huh? You, have I seen you somewhere...?

Hokusai: cozmez’s... Kanata...?

Iori: Huh? What’s upーー Ha...?

Zen: Kanata-kun... why are you here?

Kanata: I told you that I’ve investigated the Suiseki group, didn’t I? I know, at least, that this is the only house left after the group collapsed.

Satsuki: Oi, how dare you speak informally to Zen-nii!? Rather, Zen-nii, do you know him?

Zen: No, uh...

Iori: And? What business d’ya have, suddenly bargin’ in to other people’s house?

Kanata: Suiseki-san... I want to speak one-on-one with you.

Reo: Whaーdid you come to pick a fight!?

Satsuki: Aight, I’ll fight you, get out!

Hokusai: Fighting is not good...

Iori: Haha. That’s how it is. Everyone here’s my family. Don’t hold back, say anything ya want. Or... are ya scared in front of everyone ya can’t talk?

Kanata: Such a thing...

Zen: Judging from your state... something serious happened, didn’t it? If there’s anything we can do for you, then please.

Kanata: Um, yesterday... I’m sorry.

Iori: Huh.

Kanata: I’ll apologize for yesterday. That’s why, Nayuta... please, look for Nayuta...!

Notes

[1] As in illegal, dark dealings.

[2] It’s a play on words. “Modoki” means “mock” or “-pseudo”. I think he’s punning it with “ganmodoki”, a type of dish. From Wikipedia: “Ganmodoki is a fried tofu fritter made with vegetables, such as carrots, lotus roots and burdock. It may also contain egg. Ganmodoki means pseudo-goose This is because ganmodoki is said to taste like goose”. You can also put it in an oden.

[3] He’s not talking in his fake accent...

[4]  From Wikipedia: Chuuka-don is a bowl of rice with stir-fried vegetables, onions, mushrooms, and thin slices of meat on top. From japanfoodaddict.com: Gomoku Yakisoba is crispy, grilled noodles with vegetables, pork, and seafood, in a hearty, thick sauce.

[5] Ohitashi:  boiled greens in bonito-flavored soy sauce; hijiki:  dark edible seaweed usually sold in dried black strips; tamagoyaki: fried egg.

Taste!

Umami.

The taste of Gyokuro spreads over Tobirama's tongue, hot and savoury, just slightly bitter at first before it is replaced by light sweetness. It's an acquired taste, Tobirama concludes as he sets his cup down on the table. The liquid shivers gently and Tobirama watches it for a moment before moving on.

He picks up his chopsticks and spoon and digs into his breakfast. Today, it consists of miso shiru, gohan with lightly salted wakame, yakizakana, and a leftover piece of fish-filled tamagoyaki.

The taste of umami fills his senses again as he demolishes his miso soup. It's hearty, lightly salted, and pleasantly warm. The tofu in it is mostly tasteless but Tobirama prefers it that way. Especially over the fried version. The mushrooms are something he adds mostly on a whim - his mother used to favour them and make soup so wonderful that even his younger self would potentially look for an extra bowl. He longs to taste his mother's cooking once more even though he knows it is impossible.

He digs into the yakizakana next, tearing off little lightly salted pieces of fish periodically. It has a subtle taste, not too...fishy. If it were to taste like that, Tobirama isn't quite sure he would eat that. He prefers fish that don't taste like they have been swimming in mud all day. Every couple of bites, he shovels gohan into his mouth, lightly salted as well. The wakame enriches the rice — it tastes like the sea and despite being salted, it still tastes slightly and very pleasantly sweet.

He saves the tamagoyaki as last. It is sweet to his tastes, not too much but it is still custardy and smooth. The fish inside is just a bonus. Like a little surprise, an underlining flavour to the omelette's sweetness.

Tobirama is soon done with his breakfast, downing his head and thanking no one. His chopsticks are placed down over his empty gohan bowl when he sits back, relaxing and relishing in the aftertaste of his breakfast before the taste of Gyokuro washes it all down.
