kyoogi, kyōgi 経木 "lit. sutra tree"
paper-thin sheets of wood

This type of sheet for writing was widely used before the advent of cheap paper.
It was quite practical, since it could easily be "erased" by shaving over the wooden plate and start again.

Since most offerings to the deities in Buddhism were placed on these sheets, written with a sutra text (kyoo 経), the naming became popular.

Later it was also used to wrap food items. Also small ply boxes (oribako 折箱) are made to store bento for station lunch boxes.

Now kyogi is also used to make other items, like toys, ikebana flower arrangement accessories and others.

Kyogi is a wooden paper from Japan.
It is thinly shaved pine wood and has a smooth surface. It is semilucent with a wonderful wooden smell.
Traditionally Kyogi was used to wrap food, onigiri, fishes or sweets. It was also used to wrap obentos in. Kyogi found a revival in the ecological minded world and is even seen in restaurants recently.

Seen by European eyes it has a Scandinavian touch with its bright wooden tone and its mat surface.
Kyogi can be rolled, twisted, cut, teared, stenciled, painted on, tinted, glued and stapled into many shapes. It allows your creativity to flow free.

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

Harissa (Arabic: هريسة‎)
is a Maghrebian hot Chili pepper paste whose main ingredients are roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It is most closely associated with Tunisia, Libya and Algeria but recently also making inroads into Morocco according to Moroccan food expert Paula Wolfert.
As with the European cuisine, chili peppers were imported into the Maghrebian cuisine via the Columbian Exchange, presumably during the Spanish occupation of Tunisia between 1535 and 1574. Harissa can also be found in countries with a strong Arab presence such as France or Germany.

Number Eight 8

The Number Eight - 8

- quote
The Lucky Number Eight
Eight (八 hachi, ya) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. Eight gives an idea of growing prosperous, because the letter (八) broadens gradually.

The Japanese thought eight (や ya) as a holy number in the ancient times. The reason is less well understood, but it is thought that it is related to the fact they used eight to express large numbers vaguely such as manyfold (やえはたえ Yae Hatae) (literally, eightfold and twentyfold), many clouds (やくも Yakumo) (literally, eight clouds), millions and millions of Gods (やおよろずのかみ Yaoyorozu no Kami) (literally, eight millions of Gods), etc.

It is also guessed that the ancient Japanese gave importance to pairs, so some researchers guess twice as four (よ yo), which is also guessed to be a holy number in those times because it indicates the world (north, south, east, and west) might be considered a very holy number.

Assorted steamed foods for celebration.
Eight ingredients are steamed and served in each bowl in this dish.



The Japanese people consider the number eight as a lucky number, as the Kanji character for "eight" (八) signifies a spreading fortune i.e. bright future.
The dish is an important item in a celebratory meal, a dish which is typical of the Japanese people who wish for good fortune in their meals.

Yutori Meshi　湯取り飯　 (boiled rice)
This dish was used as combat ration in ancient times. White rice is made into a ball, then meat mixed with miso paste is put inside. The ball is fried in oil and brought to the battlefield as a preserved food.

Boiling water is poured over the ball for eating. This hot meal was preferred in the winter. The same dish was eaten by all ranks of samurai from generals to foot soldiers ("Ashigaru" in Japanese) to pray for victory in battle

Jomon Cooking

- quote
The Jōmon period (縄文時代 Jōmon jidai)
is the time in Prehistoric Japan from about 12,000 BC and in some cases cited as early as 14,500 BC to about 300 BC, when Japan was inhabited by a hunter-gatherer culture which reached a considerable degree of sedentism and cultural complexity.

. . .Within the archipelago the vegetation was transformed by the end of the Ice Age. In southwestern Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, broadleaf evergreen trees dominated the forests, whereas broadleaf deciduous trees and conifers were common in north-eastern Honshu and southern Hokkaido. Many native tree species, such as beeches, buckeyes, chestnuts, and oaks produced edible nuts and acorns. These provided abundant sources of food for humans and animals.

In the northeast, the plentiful marine life carried south by the Oyashio current, especially salmon, was an additional major source of food. Settlements along both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean subsisted on immense amounts of shellfish, leaving distinctive middens (mounds of discarded shells and other refuse) that are now prized sources of information for archeologists.
Other sources of food meriting special mention include deer, wild boar, yam-like tubers and other wild plants, and freshwater fish.



... The earliest vessels were mostly smallish round-bottomed bowls 10–50 cm high that are assumed to have been used for boiling food, and perhaps storing it beforehand.

Jomon cuisine: What went into the Jomon pots?
Jomon people who lived on the coasts liked hearty seafood stews, made up of various fish, clams and other shellfish catches of the day. The ingredients would have varied with the seasons. The food was cooked in large conical or rounded pots with tapered or pointy bottoms that sat well in the soil and ash of the bonfire or hearth.

. . . Egoma oil may have been used to coat or flavor the cookies. Shiso beefsteak herb (Perilla frutescens) was used to season and garnish raw fish dishes.

Many of the pit houses were equipped with a firepit with a smoke tunnel that may have been used to smoke meat.

nanchatte raamen なんちゃってラーメン sweet "noodle soup"

- quote
A confectionery store in suburban Saitama is generating a buzz thanks to its uniquely deceiving assortment of sweets.

One of them is the “Nanchatte ramen,” which can translate roughly as “fake ramen noodle.” The name sounds like a Chinese dish, but in reality it’s a cake — that looks exactly like ramen.

“I wanted to create sweets more amusing and with more impact for customers,” explained Hiromichi Iino, president of the Japanese and Western confectionery store Baigetsudo in Honjo, Saitama Prefecture.

The store was founded in 1897 and sells traditional Japanese confectionery, including “monaka,” a treat with adzuki bean jam filling sandwiched between two wafers.
...
For the finishing touch, several items made from “nerikiri” bean paste are placed on the surface of the “broth” to substitute for common ramen toppings, including “char siu” pork and “menma” lactate-fermented bamboo shoots, while pistachios stand in for green onions, Iino said.

The hard part about creating this dish was finding an appropriate combination of ingredients to ensure it tasted good, Iino said.
