麺を二種類、同時に混ぜ茹でて食べるおいしさをクアラルンプールの屋台で覚えてしまったわたしは、抹茶入りのゆで時間8分のうど��と、ゆで時間4分の稲庭うどんを巧みに時間差で投入するというかなり高度な調理法を用いて完成させました。その間に大根をチョップしておいて、上に載せて、一味をかけて頬張ります。 It was at a street stall in Kuala Lumpur that I first discovered the pleasure of boiling two kinds of noodles together in the same pot. That discovery has stayed with me. Today I employed a rather advanced technique — staggering the addition of matcha udon, which takes eight minutes, and Inaniwa udon, which takes four, so that both finish at exactly the right moment. In the meantime, I chopped some daikon, piled it on top, added a shake of ichimi pepper, and took a good hearty bite.

三之助さんの「埼玉の地豆腐」食べてみました。地豆腐というその訳は、もちろん埼玉の本庄で作っているというのももちろんなんですが埼玉で採れた大豆「借金なし」を使っているからです。不思議な品種名は秩父の銘柄豆。「借金無し」じゃなくて「借金をなす（返す」という意味だそうです。痩せた土地でも借金がそっくり返せちゃうくらい実る豆だというのが名前の由来。おいらも「借金なし」という名前の落語会やろうかな（笑）。 #sannosuke #minosuke I tried Sannosuke's "Saitama no Ji-dofu" (local tofu). The reason it is called local tofu is, of course, because it is made in Honjo, Saitama, but also because it uses "Shakkin-nashi" (No Debt) soybeans harvested in Saitama. This unusual variety name belongs to a famous brand of beans from Chichibu. It apparently means "to pay off (repay) one's debt," rather than having "no debt" from the start. The origin of the name comes from the fact that these beans yield so abundantly, even in poor soil, that they can completely pay off one's debts. Maybe I should host a rakugo show called "Shakkin-nashi" too (lol).

三之助さんはお豆腐の造り分けがすごいんだよ。固さも香りも柔らかさもみんな違う。他にも青大豆のふわふわとか、固さが違う豆腐が二層になってるやつとか。「埼玉の地豆腐」ってのは初めて食べるから楽しみだね。しばらくとうふの方へは行かない予定なので毎日豆腐ざんまいだな。うっふふ。 #sannosuke #minosuke Minosuke-san's craft in making different types of tofu is truly amazing. The firmness, aroma, and softness are all completely different. They also have a fluffy green soybean tofu, and one with two layers of different firmness. It is my first time eating "Saitama's local tofu," so I am really looking forward to it.Since I have no plans to travel away for a while, I will be enjoying tofu every single day. Hehehe. #sannosuke #minosuke

Amazonから届いた物件シリーズ。 つい買ってしまうもののひとつに「三脚」があります。それも最近はMagSafe対応のやつ。病気です。うちの師匠もつい要らないのに接着剤を買ってしまうという癖がありましたのでしょうがないと思っています。しかしこの三脚は足が四本あるし、自撮り棒としても機能するので三脚には入らないという解釈の抜け道がありま��。 Amazon Delivery Series. One of those things I just can’t stop buying is “tripods.” And lately, it’s the MagSafe-compatible ones. It’s a sickness. My master (mentor) also had the habit of buying glue even when he didn’t need it, so I tell myself it can’t be helped. However, this tripod has four legs and also functions as a selfie stick, so I’ve cleverly decided it doesn’t actually count as a tripod.
