The manners of guests for Japanese Tea Party (5)
(5) "Kaiseki" cuisine
Kaiseki is a fullācourse of Japanese cuisine.
Kaiseki is written "the stone of one's inside pocket" in Kanji.
The meening is from this story;
In ancient days, Samurai had a warm stone in his inside pocket to stave off the pangs of hunger.
Green tea in the tea party is very strong to the stomach.
So we eat Kaiseki to lighten the burden imposed on stomach.
