Kujirajiru 鯨汁

History and Origins

Whale juice is an essential dish for New Year's food in the South China area. As New Year approaches, you have to learn to cook salt and vegetables in a large pot and to eat three New Year's in the day. Since the vegetables you eat with are kept warm again and again, the vegetables you eat with are used to make sure that they do not boil. Some areas are also called "Foot juice." In the days when the seafishing was so popular from the late Edo to the Mexical Age, in the south of the country, the estuaries that put the sea cucumbers on the shore were all considered to be well-promised animals. It is said that they were eaten in New Year's to pray for a fish catch for herring from early spring. In other parts of the world, we are attracted to the shape of a giant lottery, and we are happy to be big guys, and we eat from the year and New Year's. In Hokkaido, the lottery that was the source of protein was a valuable food, and it was made of salt-salted lotteryes to survive a severe winter. Foods used in whale juice use salt sticks. Also, the food that we cooked together was made up of preserved foods, such as winter vegetables and salted mountain vegetables we harvested during the late fall season. The nutritious whale juice was also an essential dish to survive the winter of the cold Hokkaido.

When It Is Eaten

Even now, when New Year comes near in the south of the country, we make whale juice at home. In the supermarkets on the street, when it comes to late in the year, salt lotterys are often sold.

How It Is Eaten

I cook the salt-salted fat in a broth of soy sauce, with tofu and with yams, yams, yams and so on. In some homes, it is made from salt or taste, but the basic flavor is usually soy sauce. The flavor and the sweets that come out of the lots are well matched by the flavor and the vegetables. In ancient times, the vegetables that were stored in late autumn, such as carp and bottled rice, were salted before cooking, while the vegetables used were used by the family until frozen technology wanted to develop. By making large quantities in a large pot and reheating it every time he eats it, he can eat it with a taste in it and with a taste in it.

For New Year's Day, it's sometimes made of baked horn and steamed. A New Year's celebration is also a gift to the big whales, as they say in their big game, "Be big."

Japanese whalers have been banned in 1988, and commercial whales have not been used until the year 2019 again, and the younger generation, particularly, has lost their culture in whale food, including whale juice.

The fat of whale meat, which contains so much unsaturated fats, was eaten as a stamina diet in the freshlands especially during the hot summer months. It is characteristic to add local bollus, which is eaten mainly by the taste-driven diet, but sometimes it is eaten by the soy sauce. The salted whale meat was also eaten by being carried to mountains away from the sea because it was suitable for preservation.

In the Niigata City area, there are a lot of eggplants, and in the Central region, yugaos are often used together, and they are eaten often in summer. In Agaga, and other sub-clinical regions, the yaws of the mountains are often used, and they are eaten well in spring.
