READING

Ai was still concerned about Sho’s bad eating habits, so she emailed him after work.

アイは、ショウのひどい食習慣を心配したので、仕事の後、彼にメールをしました。

Hi, Sho!

Here’s the recipe I told you about. I hope you find time to make this. This is good for your health – much better than that convenience store food!

Rice Ball Ochazuke

1 bowl cooked rice

200 milliliters green tea

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

5 grams dried shrimp

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1 gram dried bonito flakes

3 leaves chopped mitsuba

5 grams kombu kelp

Making rice ball ochazuke is easy. First, mix the cooked rice, soy sauce, dried shrimp, and white sesame seeds. Form a rice ball from the mixture.

After heating the sesame oil in a frying pan, cook the rice ball. Next, put some dried bonito flakes in a bowl. Add the rice ball to the bowl, then pour the green tea over it. Finally, sprinkle the chopped mitsuba and kombu kelp before serving it.

TRIVIA

While many Japanese people want to translate everything into English, it can be difficult to do with Japanese food. Sometimes, it’s better to just say the Japanese name of the food and then explain what it is.

X This is soaked tea.

O This is ochazuke. It’s rice in green tea with some toppings.

日本人は全てを英語に訳したがりますが、日本食に関してはそうしない方がいいかもしれません。時には、料理の名前を日本語のままで言って、どんなものかを説明するほうが良いこともあります。

X これはお茶に漬かっています。

O これは「お茶漬け」と言って、緑茶の中にご飯をいれたものにトッピングが乗っています。
