Kujirajiru くじら汁

History and Origins

Since there once was a whale base in Yado City, a nearby food culture developed. To the extent that they said, "A whale can live seven years," the whale was a delightful food that brought profits locally. Tastes vary from part to part, but using them as "Fool" is the base part of the spine called "white." It's a fat pile, so I repeatedly pour it over and over again and cook it after I drop the extra fat. It is hoped that New Year will be followed by a huge whale, even by New Year's celebration. "Let the New Year be a big one."

When It Is Eaten

It's a celebration for old age and New Year's. Sometimes it's boiled with a baked bowl. Even in modern times, at the end of the year's market and at supermarkets, people have been salted for soup. I put a few vegetables and tofu in a large pot and eat from New Year's. The oil came from the whale and would be delicious as the days go by.

How It Is Eaten

It is important to cut off the excess fat by roasting (the whale's basalt) from the hot water. If you hold on to this, you'll be completely degreeted, and you'll have a dusty sense of food. It'll also serve the condensed flavor and make the whole juice taste good. It's typical to wear something with potatoes in roots such as radish, carrots, rice and so on.
