This video shows the YouTuber "Samurai Matcha" and his quest to recreate three historically accurate meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) that Samurai may have eaten during the Edo period. For breakfast, using a clay pot similar to a Kamado, cooked a large serving of rice- cooking large servings of rice in the morning was common during this era to save wood. Breakfast often consisted of three simple elements- rice, soup (usually miso soup), and a side dish (often pickled vegetables). For lunch, leftover cold rice and miso soup was often eaten, along with an additional side dish of pickled plums, fish, or vegetables. According to a table from the samurai period ranking side dishes, happaidofu (tofu, sake, and shoyu), kobuage (fried tofu, abura-age), and kinpira gobou (burdock roots, carrots) were the top three. Samurai Matcha made kinpira gobou (as this dish is still commonly consumed today) to eat along with his leftover rice and miso soup. For dinner, ochazuke (rice with tea poured over it with a variety of ingredients) was a common meal during the samurai period, when tea finally became available to common folk, where it was once only designated for the upper class. Although the meals during the samurai period contained a lot of carbs and less protein than a modern diet, it is said that the samurai of the past were very powerful and physically strong.
