倉敷天領寿司祭り　
Kurashiki Tenryo Sushi Matsuri


（倉敷遊学塾）
さわら・ままかり・たこ・しゃこなど、瀬戸の幸や地元食材をふんだんに使った「倉敷寿司」。「倉敷寿司」と言っても、ちらし寿司・ばら寿司・ばらちらし寿司・祭り寿司・返し寿司など、その種類はさまざま。あなたの気になる「倉敷寿司」をぜひ召し上がってください。


Okayama no Matsuri Sushi

『岡山の祭り寿司』は江戸時代、備前岡山の藩主「池田光政候」は質素倹約を奨励し、「食膳は一汁一菜」というお触れを出した。それならばと町人たちは魚や野菜をたくさん寿司飯に混ぜ込み、それに汁を添えて体裁だけは一汁一菜とした。これが『ばら寿司』の由来です。池田光政の命日である６月２７日を「ちらし寿司の日」として日本記念日協会に申請、同協会により２００４年４月１日に記念日として登録されている。岡山寿司・祭り寿司とも呼ばれ、岡山の『ハレ食』として機会あるごとに作られ、おすそ分けの風習も根付いています。

Kurashiki no Matsuri Sushi
『倉敷の祭り寿司』は、天領であったこの地の商家の旦那衆が、近隣や知人を祭りの日に自宅に招いて、見栄いっぱいの寿司を振舞った。それも最上級の素材を揃えて競い合ったとも言われています。恐らくその食膳の後ろには自慢の屏風が飾られていて、これ又見栄の張合い合戦になったのではないかとも思われます。祭りの日にしか食べることのできない「最高の酒の肴」として饗応されたという説もあるとか？市内でも、各地・各家庭で作り方や混ぜ込む材料は微妙に違い、地方の味・家庭の味として受け継がれてきています。我が家の寿司は「これとこれと、この具は絶対に入れる…作り方はこうやって作る」など『見栄自慢寿司』であり『おすそ分け寿司』なのかも知れません。

Kiru ... cutting food

Kiru ... cutting food

Cutting makes all the difference, it changes a dead fish into a fine dish of sashimi or sushi ... and so much more.

... kiri or ... giri are most of the compound words with KIRU.

Here we will explore the many ways used in Japan to cut food.

The most important thing is of course

Hocho, wabocho . 和包丁. Knife, knives (hoochoo, waboochoo)
Japanisches Messer, Küchenmesser




During the samurai area of Japan, the word KIRU was avoided for food as best as possible, since it was a reminder of

harakiri 腹きり / seppuku せっぷく【切腹】
ritual suicide by cutting one's guts open

The word kagamibiraki was used, for example, for cutting the kagami mochi, a New Year decoration, which is traditionally cut and eaten in a ritual called "Kagami biraki" (mirror opening).
"Kagami biraki 鏡開き" (mirror opening)

hamo 鱧 / 海鰻 pike conger eel
His many bones are bothering when eating, so they must be cut very finely (honegiri 骨切り "cutting the bones") and the chef who prepares them must learn how to do that. In a span of one SUN 寸　(about 3 cm) you have to make cuts for 26 times in the flesh without cutting the skin below. A special hamo knife is used for this purpose. When it is then dipped into hot water it curls like a cherry blossom flower.

Kitaoji Rosanjin Utsuwa

[ . BACK to WORLDKIGO TOP . ]
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The UTSUWA うつわ【器】, vessel or dish
in which the food is served, is as much of importance to washoku as is the cooking itself.

Rosanjin was known for making his own pottery vessels to fit his food.
He even made some dishes with Japanese poetry inscriptions.

Most famous restaurants have a separate ... Storehouse, warehouse (kura, dozoo) ... , where they keep different dishes for all seasons, sometimes different one's for every month.

When I learned kaiseki cooking in Kamakura, my teacher had different dishes for every month and some extra for special monthly celebrations like the Boy's Festival or Chrysanthemum Watching.

Here I want to introduce an important person of Japan, whith a great influence on the UTSUWA culture.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Kitaoji Rosanjin (北大路魯山人)
(1883 – 1959)
Kitaooji Rosanjin
a calligrapher, ceramicist and restaurateur in Japan during the first half of the twentieth century. Born in the village of Kamigano he founded the Bishoku Club (Gourmet's Club) in 1921. It became a private restaurant. The Great Tokyo earthquake of 1923 destroyed most of his ceramics collection, and he began making pottery to replace it. He also became a scholar of antique pottery publishing his work during the 1930's. Isamu Noguchi lived on his property for a while during the 1950s.

Rosanjin was mentioned several times on the Japanese TV show Iron Chef as the "mentor" of the "Chairman Kaga" character.

Kaiseki Chef, Yasushi Naoe (born in Oono, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan in 1935) used Rosanjin's museum dishes for very special occasions at Kawai Ryokan in Toyama, Japan.

Mountain man who walked the path of art

"Born alone, will die alone;
come alone, will be gone alone;
study alone, walk alone."

This is said to be the mantra of one of Japan's greatest 20th-century artists, the boisterous, arrogant and brilliant Rosanjin Kitaoji.

Food served on board, for visitors or for the fishermen during work.

from Chiba prefecture



mamakari 飯借り (ままかり)　Japanese sardinella

They say the fishermen used to grill the fish right on their boats and when the rice of one boat was eaten, they would drive to the next one and ask for his to share.

Why does my baby continue to cry?

Presently when father returns from the Lord's palace,
Sweets will be given to you, and also cake,
and all you want !
And a rattle as well, and a rolly-polly doll
That will stand up immediately
after being thrown down.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, little one!

Japanese cooking toys おもちゃ

There has been a boom in cooking toys in Japan. Those toys are so attractive that even adults buy them for themselves. Some of popular cooking toys are Takara Tommy's taiyaki (traditional Japanese fish-shaped cake) makers and soft caramel candy makers, Sega Toy's ice cream makers, and Bandai's norimaki (sushi rolls) makers. Using cute cooking toys, both kids and adults can have fun at home.
