To eat is to live.

Unexpected discoveries and richness lurk in the small dining table of everyday life. This time, we will introduce three food essays that you will want to read again and again ✨

1.

The Table of Words

# takeda # yurikoMs. picture:# lily _ noguchiMr.

Satisfaction ★ ★ ★ ★

Easy to read ★ ★ ★

An essay that cuts out the world with rich words while focusing on everyday food. It depicts a wide range of episodes from loquat, conversations with her husband, and memories of food during the earthquake and war.

The casual theme of "food" is expressed so beautifully and uniquely... The choice of words was superb and I was drawn in.

2.

Eat steam

# Kudou _ reinMr.

Satisfaction ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Easy to read ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Eat because you are alive. Write because you are alive."

An essay by Kudo Rein that humorously describes his love of self-catering and living.

There are many dishes that you will want to try, such as egg bowls and noodles, and just reading them will make your stomach growl.

The phrase "self-catering is tuning" was impressive, and I got courage from the attitude of being absorbed in writing and cooking.

3.

Taste you can't buy

by Yoko HiramatsuMr.

Satisfaction ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.5

Easy to read ★ ★ ★ ★

The theme is "Home meal that can not be tasted at the shop."

It makes us realize that the tools and customs we use for granted have the luxury of everyday life.

I was surprised by the episode about the chopstick rest and the charm of cold rice as well as freshly cooked rice.

When you know the meaning of "taste that can not be bought," you will feel that your usual meal is more lovely.

Each book reminds me of the joy of eating and the richness in life.

If there's something you're curious about, please read it to taste it 🍚✨

... Read more「食エッセイおすすめ」で探している人に向けて、私がこの3冊を“どんな気分のときに手に取ったか”と“読み方のコツ”も補足します。結論、3冊とも読後に食卓の見え方が変わりました。 まず『湯気を食べる』は、タイトル通り「湯気」までごちそうにしてしまう本。疲れて帰ってきて、ちゃんとした料理をする気力がない日でも、この本を数ページ読むと不思議と台所に立てました。たまご丼やうーめんみたいに材料が少ないごはんが出てくるので、レシピ本というより“生活の背中を押すエッセイ”として効きます。私は読みながら、気になった料理名をスマホのメモに控えて、週末に1つだけ試すようにしました(全部真似しなくていいのが続くコツ)。 『ことばの食卓』は、食べ物そのものより「食をめぐる記憶」や、日常の会話の切り取り方が沁みるタイプ。枇杷の話のように、季節の匂いまで立ち上がる文章が多くて、寝る前に読むと頭が静かになります。私は付箋を用意して、気に入った一文に印をつけながら読みました。後からパラパラ見返すだけで、短い時間でも満たされます。 『買えない味』は、“家ごはんって地味だけど最強”と気づかせてくれる本でした。お店の味じゃなく、炊き立てだけじゃなく、冷やご飯や道具(箸置き、器、いつもの茶碗)まで含めて食卓の豊かさを語ってくれるので、読後にスーパーで高いものを買うより、家の台所を整えたくなります。私はこの本を読んだ後、まずは箸置きを出して、いつもより丁寧にお茶碗を選びました。それだけで食事の満足度が上がったのが意外でした。 最後に、どれから読むか迷ったら: ・気力がない/自炊を続けたい→『湯気を食べる』 ・文章の美しさで満たされたい→『ことばの食卓』 ・家ごはんの価値を見直したい→『買えない味』 3冊とも「本棚に一生置いておきたい」と思える、日常の小さな食卓を豊かにする本でした。気になる一冊から、味わうように読んでみてください。
