Traditional Japanese Cuisine "NANAKUSAGAYU"
Traditional Japanese Cuisine
I drew a picture of "NANAKUSA GAYU"(rice gruel containing the seven plants of spring)
The seven plants porridge is eaten to rest the stomach weakened by the New Year's festive meals and celebratory sake.
It is also eaten to wish for good health and well-being for the year.
It is eaten on January 7th.
If you don't eat this salty and refreshing porridge
I feel uncomfortable.
Eating the seven plants of spring seems to have a traditional meaning of supplementing nutrients in winter, when vegetables tend to be scarce.
