First bonito

   The other day, I posted Junichiro Tanizaki's comment on the taste of Kanto and Kansai, and after that, I saw that "yaz" touched on elementary school students' past posts about "Edokko". I was glad.

 

    As a matter of fact, Junichiro Tanizaki's post about taste was a reorganization of previous post (“rebuked”), and after a few years, I thought that blog posts etc. have been forgotten, so I reposted it, but some people remember it.

 

   By the way, in the previous essay about "Edokko", I mentioned it as follows.

 

>As a Kansai person, I felt a physiological disgust of the word "Edo kid" or race, and by Seiryo Kaiho (1755-1817), "Edo things are children's nasty, stupid, It's a culture that has sympathized and agrees with the theory of "Edo, the first time that should not be understood."

 

 However, the customs of "Edokko"? One of the things that elementary school students could not understand is "first bonito". In a recent post, Hanes introduced Issa Kobayashi's phrase "First bonito with Oedo and dogs", but in the first place, I can't imagine it (for me) that it pays a particularly high price (outside the exorbitant) such as bonito sashimi.

 

    The background analysis of the first bonito flavor fashion in Edo will be described below, relying on Mataji Miyamoto's theory ("Kansai and Kanto" Bunshun Gakugei Library).

 

    At the time of Kanei, when the offering of the first bonito began in Edo, bonito sashimi was not a prize for the superiors. After that, the price of the first bonito rises, but in the literature at that time, "The prosperity of Hana Edo is the prosperity of Hana no Edo is bought and eaten even if the first bonito is four (one car) or five. Indeed, from the cute eyes of people from other countries, you can see the sashimi of coins like eating, but if this is not high, you will not be able to eat the first bonito. " In other words, I think it's good because it's expensive. It must have been the so-called "exhibition of consumption."

 

 "It seems that the exaggeration of this abnormal taste and taste was 'hari' over the top. In other words, there was no bonito in Osaka, which runs over the Seto Inland Sea. The claim is that you should eat "Katsuo", a special product only for Edo ... It seems that there was an emptiness mainly against the superiors "(Mataji Miyamoto)

 

    In Osaka, there is not much wind of the first prize, and even sea bream eats the cheapest and most delicious times in the season when it comes out. This is called Uoshima (a time when many sea breams can be caught in the Seto Inland Sea from March to April in the lunar calendar and cheap and delicious sea breams can be eaten in Osaka; Kojien). It is clear that Osaka people's way of thinking is rational and clever. From this point of view, the Osaka people may have seen the race "Edo kid" as "Edo things are children, fools, and very beginnings."

 

  In the evening of "Nana no Kaze" (Osakacho magistrate Suketoshi Kusumi, who was in office during his tenure in 1855 (1855) and August of Bunkyu 3 (1862), he was constantly receiving a prize for the first time in the area.

 

  The expression "the sneaky thing that sends the day as soon as Edo" is amazing (laughs). This is just 150 years ago in terms of age.

 

 It's not a "appropriate identity", but a "person who sends the day as soon as possible", but a race that erases a lot of money on something like the first gatsuo, exactly "children's do, stupid people, beginning, humble things."
