When I look back now, I was so poor those days. If you think all of Japanese are rich, it is just wrong. |
Do you know Zenzai?
It is Japanese dish.
How to cook it is boiling azuki and sugar about half hour.
And put some roast rice cakes in it. When I was first grade of university, I was so poor. New year day of 1988, I was in Tokyo. I was too poor to come back to my hometown. Telephone rang. "Hello, I'm Ikeda. How are you?" He was one of my friends in University. "Not fine." "Uh... Well, I'm now going to your home." "What?" I went to Mitaka Station to see him and guide him to my home. "What are them?" He had two large bags. "I talked things about you to my mother . One of my friend is too poor to come back to his parents' home. She felt it sad and said me giving you these." Many rice cakes, azuki, tea bags and sugar packs are in his bags. He came to my home and began to cook Zenzai. About half hour later, it was finished. It was the best delicious Zenzai in that I had eaten. I felt that friends are important for me that time. |
