On January 7th, “Nana Kusa Gayu” (Seven Grass Porridge) is traditionally eaten in Japan, a rice porridge made with, as the name implies, seven different “grasses”, or herbs. The dish is meant to ward off sickness and accidents in the new year, and each of the seven herbs are included for specific reasons, which you can read about here. Mutsumi made us our bowls this morning using a freeze-dried mix as it’s hard to find these fresh herbs in NYC, and she served it with umeboshi plum, three types of konbu seaweed, pickled watermelon radish and fresh sansho pepper, with mitsuba leaves on top of the porridge. Here’s to a safe and healthy 2023!!

People in Japan traditionally eat something called nanakusa gayu (7 herbs rice porridge) on the 7th day of the new year. Eating it is supposed to give you good health for the new year. I’ve been told that these items can be found outside at this time of year, but like most people I just buy a kit at the grocery store. It contains: Seri Nazuna Gogyo Hakobera Hotokenoza Suzuna Suzushiro We always add a little light soy sauce and add mochi since that’s Dude’s family’s tradition. #nanakusagayu #nanakusagayu2023 #japanesetradition #七草粥　 (at Kakamigahara, Gifu) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJFUs7PoHk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

new folk hero named GruelGirl. she is oatmeal and porridge, congee and grits, polenta and kasha, nanakusagayu and kolyva and øllebrød and beombeok. kind of like a slimegirl but more sludgy-chunky and MUCH more stick-to-your-ribs nutritious.  she emanates a damp warmth & an appealing smell that reminds you of a fire crackling under a brick chimney, of being curled up in bed while snow falls outside.  she loves to hang out with fishsaucegirl and mushroomgirl and sometimes youl’ll even see her with a group of raisingirls. she lives in a claypot and you’ll see steam coming out if she’s home.

Today's supper 2018.1.7 七草粥 年末の忘年会シーズンから微妙に不調が続き、正月は堪えたものの、やはり風邪を引いてしまった。 グダグダになりつつも、熱はなく食欲も旺盛でたいへんにタチが悪い。 この時期だけの七草セット、神奈川県産だった。神奈川だと鎌倉野菜とか良いですよね。 炊飯器のおかゆモードで炊いたら美味しくて…お米は今は茨城ミルキークイーン（モッチモチ）なので、たいへんモチモチした炊きたてのお粥最高。 鈴廣の蒲鉾を乗せたら朝のおうどんによく似たビジュアルだけど気にしない。 せり なずな ごぎょう はこべら ほとけのざ すずな すずしろ これぞ七草 #food #japanesefood #okayu #nanakusagayu #お粥 #七草粥

Anime Talk - Yofukashi no Uta

Since I just finished with this anime, I thought there were a few things I would like to say. This is not a review. It's mainly a fun fact I happened to notice thanks to gaining some knowledge outside the anime that only Japanese people and people learning about Japanese culture will know.

Yofukashi no Uta (calling of the night in English) has protagonists Yamori Kou (a human) and our subject of discussion, Nanakusa Nazuna, a vampire.

Nazuna is an interesting character. I don't find her cute in any way like other characters seem to do, but I like her personality. She's fun-loving and fun to watch. What I learned about her relates, not to her personality or anything. It just relates to her name.

Around New Year's Japanese people eat a lot of rich foods of all kinds for seveeral days. Each dish has a meaning and everything, it's very initeresting (I can't deny I wouldn't mind getting an exact chart of what each dish is supposed to bring you in the new year). But after all this, you want something a little plain that is also easy on the stomach. You eat this on January 7th. This is called Nanakusagayu (seven grasses porridge). Nanakusa is the seven grasses.

Now, one of these plants you find in Nanakusagayu is a plant called shepherd's purse. In Japanese, this plant is cakllled Nazuna.

Another one of the vampires is called Seri, which is the name of Japanese parsley and is another plant you can find in Nanakusagayu.

We also have Suzushiro Hatsuka. Suzushiro is a daikon raddish that can also be found in Nanakusagayu.

The same is true for Kohakobe Midori. Hakobera or Hakobe is called chickenweed in English and it should come as no surprise that this can also be found in Nanakusagayu at this point.

Then how about Honda Kabura? True, the family name is nothing special, but Kabura is a turnip, which is another ingredient in Nanakusagayu.

The last one to mention is Hirata Niko. I find her connection to be a bit less obvious, but just a bit. Her connection is a plant called tabirako, which is Japanese nipplewort. They simply switched around the kanji in the plant name and added "ni" for whatever reason.

The final plant is called gogyou, hahakogusa or jersey cudweed in English. As far as I can see, there is no character connected to this plant, yet.

Why am I posting this? I have no clue. I guess I have no one else to share this with.

I'll talk about anime from time to time, opinions or interesting facts, whatever I feel like, and I will try to keep it spoiler free if possible. If anyone is interested, I don't mind doing an ask game or something on anime.
