Tonjiru めった汁

History and Origins

"Cooked" is a dish used with root vegetables, such as radish, carrots, and so forth. What's different from the traditional pig juice is that it uses the chicken, not the potatoes. However, since there is no strict rule on the root vegetables used, they are easily eaten by families all over the state. The unique name comes from such things as "If you do it, put in your tools." "When you do it, cut off the equipment." It is also said that a lot of tools were used that farmers began to process large quantities of vegetables. "In the case of "Akira Akira, who represented the province, was released in 1894 by Akira, Akira. The tadpoles used in the "cook" tools are identified as one of the brandy vegetables promoted by Kanazawa City. The history of cultivation at Kanazawa City is old, and it is estimated that during the end of the era, it was the seeds potato and the way they were grown. In the year 1877, land production became a reality, and more than 100 tons of early digging was shipped to the Kyoto, root, Osaka, Kobe, and so on. Since the introduction of the Sequoia Seymour Reservation Act (a mass preservation under the high heat and humidity) in the year 1952, it has become the main energy vegetable in the sandhills of northern Kanazawa.

More About Tonjiru

Tonjiru or butajiru (豚汁; "pork soup")  is a Japanese soup made with pork and vegetables, flavoured with miso. It is a more substantial version of miso soup, with a larger quantity and variety of ingredients.

Common ingredients

Tonjiru is usually made by stewing thinly sliced pieces of pork, alongside vegetables, in dashi stock, and flavoured by dissolving miso.

Common additional ingredients include burdock root, konjac, seaweed, spring onions, daikon radish, carrot, tofu including fried tofu (aburaage), tubers such as potatoes, taro or sweet potato, and mushrooms such as shiitake and shimeji.

On rare occasions, mildly degreased (not crispy) bacon can be used in place of pork. Instant butajiru is also available.

Name

The Japanese kanji character for pig (豚) can be pronounced either as ton (the on'yomi way), or as buta (the kun'yomi way), resulting in two ways to say the name of the dish (豚汁), tonjiru and butajiru. While tonjiru is much more common and used by most people in Japan at around 70%, butajiru is dominant in Hokkaido and Kyushu, along with a majority in the Toyama and Mie prefectures, with a small minority in most of the remaining prefectures of Western Japan.

A version of the dish, containing sweet potatoes, as served to skiers in the ski resorts of Niigata Prefecture up until about 1960, is known as sukii-jiru ("skiing-soup").
