commoners, but sugar and soy sauce were used by upper-class samurai. Commoners used salt and enjoyed the natural taste. Soy sauce
and miso became popular seasonings from the middle of the Edo period.

White rice gruel. This was used to treat lords and princesses when they became ill. If they became so ill that they can't even swallow
brown rice, then they were given thin rice gruel in small amounts to stay alive. Even today, thin rice gruel is given to children and the
elderly in Japan when they are ill.

Yellowtail simmered with daikon radish ("Buri-Daikon"). Yellowtail changes its name depending on its stage of growth. Upper-class
samurai changed his name depending on his age and position. Hence the yellowtail was associated with career advancement and was a
valuable fish for the samurai. The taste and nutritional value of the dish are better balanced by simmering the yellowtail with the radish.
