Chameshi - Chameshi

Japanese: 茶飯 - ちゃめし
Chameshi - Chameshi

Originally it was rice cooked in tea infusion, and the name evolved from chagayu (tea porridge). In particular, during the Edo period it was made nationwide under the name Nara chahan. The Edo period "Ryori Chohoshu" states, "Stew the finest green tea, remove the tea husks, add a little salt, and cook the top-grade white rice until fluffy." Later it came to be called Sakura chahan, and the method of cooking it with tea infusion, salt, soy sauce, and sake became the norm. Today's chahan does not use tea infusion, but is cooked with soy sauce and sake or mirin. It is said to go well with oden, and signs for oden chahan were often seen in the past. In Tokyo during the Meiji and Taisho periods it was called Kigara chahan. This was cooked with soy sauce and sake, and is the chahan we know today.

Japanese:

元来は茶の煎(せん)じ汁で炊いた飯で、茶粥(ちゃがゆ)から転じたものである。とくに江戸時代には奈良茶飯の名で全国的につくられていた。江戸時代の『料理調法集』には、「極上の煎茶を煎じ、出し殻(がら)を去り塩少々を加え、右にて上白米をふっくりと飯に炊く」とあるが、のちに桜(さくら)茶飯と称し、茶の煎じ汁、塩、しょうゆ、酒を加えて炊き込むやり方が一般に行われていた。現在の茶飯は、茶の煎じ汁は用いず、しょうゆと酒またはみりんを加えて炊く。その相手にはおでんがよくあうとされ、おでん茶飯の看板が以前はよくみられた。東京では明治・大正のころ黄枯(きがら)茶飯といっていた。これは、しょうゆと酒を加えて炊き上げたもので、いまの茶飯である。
