のお赤飯
のお赤飯まだお腹が空いていなかったのに、箸が進むおいしさ
ご存知の方も多いかもしれませんが、本当にお祝いごと🎊🧧でお赤飯を作る場合は小豆ではなく、ささげを使うんだって
あずきは皮が破れやすく「切腹」
を思い起こさせるため避けるらしいです

的には色々な意味がありますがもっと単純に、細やかに手間をかけ作りあげる過程がお祝い🎊🎉なんだなと

Voilà!
EXCELLENT!
Osekihan supervised and directed by my wife and cooked by myself.
Although it’s still a bit early for lunch and I wasn’t hungry yet, I can eat a full bowl of rice.
Some of you may know but if you really cook it to celebrate something, you had better use cowpea but not azuki bean since azuki can be torn in the process of boiling and steaming which is associated with “harakiri”, not suitable for celebration.
As I was cooking, I’ve got to understand the meaning a little bit of people in old times preparing osekihan for celebration.
I know there are several anthropological meanings of making osekihan, but I think the simple one is as clear as crystal.
Love.
The process of taking much of your time with attention and careful consideration to prepare to celebrate is already a festive event and something special.
To take much of your time for someone you love to make him/her happy brings you happiness also.
We’ve spent quite some time to prepare it since last night and as doing so, the process have made us feel joyful and our hearts melted.
Even though it wasn’t a celebration at all of any of us, but we could be really happy with the white steam and delicious smell coming up from the steamer, and of course with the first mouthful.
Now I know making osekihan is loving, indeed.
Maybe I’m going to celebrate an “ordinary day” like the Mad Hatter and the March Hare in “ Alice in Wonderland”, even.
Happy ordinary day!
