What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Volume 9
What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Volume 9 | Fumi Fumi Yoshinaga
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In this volume, the intrepid lawyer/gourmand Shiro deals with the closing of his beloved local supermarket, his ageing parents (and growing older himself), dodges lawyerly politics, and reveals a shocking secret to Kenji about why their apartment is so cheap to rent. Shiro continues to showcase an array of inventive yet simple-to-make dishes, and his cooking buddy Kayoko comes up with tasty recipes to cook up Mr. Kohinata's food after his fridge breaks down. The recipes include celebratory year-end-only dishes as Shiro rings in the New Year at home, with Kenji, for the first time.

In issue 9 of this slice-of-life #manga about a couple of #gay men in Tokyo, Shiro turns 50 and several chapters touch on topics that have to do with aging. Kenji & Shiro spend New Year together in their own home for the first time, and the foods Shiro prepares for the occasion—like the shiruko sweet bean soup—were the most interesting in this volume. #translation #LGBT #comics

This is the first time (in 9 issues) that I‘ve seen Shiro use an otoshi buta, a drop-lid, in his cooking. It‘s a technique that conserves energy and maintains the structural integrity of ingredients, so I wonder why it isn‘t really known and used in Western cooking.
