  • Yuba

    Yuba

    We have many many kinds of soya cooking.

    Tofu, Miso, Syoyu (Soy Sauce), AbuRageh, Ganmo, AtsuAgeh, and Yuba.

    The meaning of Yuba is “The leaf of hot water”.

    What?!

    Yes, « Yu » is hot water, and « Ba » is a different form of « Ha » which means a leaf or leaves.

    Look at this video, and you will know what Yuba is.

    Fresh Yuba is like this.
    KumiAgeh means “fresh from the pot”.

    You can get dried Yuba in shops to bring back home.

    Enjoy Japan.

    Sand Garden of Kongo-Buji

    Have a peaceful time watching this quiet video of the sacred garden.

    It is of Kongo-Buji, the main temple of Mount Koya, one of the world heritage.
    Sand garden or Rock garden may be well known as a typical Japanese style.

    The sand on the ground represents the sea.

    The rocks sometimes represent places related to Buddhism, sometimes literature, and sometimes animals such as this.

    The idea of the garden is « Two great dragons meeting at the centre of the universe ».

    Very Samurai!
