Kelp tea for fortune

[edit]

The tea served on New Year's Day and at weddings is sometime kelp tea[2] because the pronunciation of kombu is similar to that of the last part of "yorokobu" (喜ぶ, meaning "be happy").[2]

[edit]

Powdery kelp tea is sold as an instant tea under the name of konbu-cha[1] or kobu-cha[2]. It is made by drying kelp to a fine powder and blending it with seasonings such as salt and sugar[2]. It's simply dissolved in hot water and enjoyed as a tea. Note that this type of konbu-cha does not contain any true tea (Camellia sinensis).[5][6][7]

The powdery kelp tea was invented by the founder of GYOKUROEN "Umazou Fujita" in 1918.[1]

History

[edit]

Kelp tea is thought to have been drunk from quite a long time ago[2] because "the Japanese have incorporated kelp and seaweed into their diets for 1,500 years".[2][9]

It is said that, in 951, Kūya made a statue of the Ekādaśamukha to cure an epidemic that was spreading in the capital and went around the city giving oo-buku-cha to the sick.[4]

Tea using kelp already existed in Edo period (1603-1868) at the latest,[1] and people in these days drank it by pouring boiling water over chopped kelp.[1]

Korea

[edit]

Either dried kelp powder or julienned kelp can be used to make the tea.[10]

Powdered tea can be made by pan-frying and pounding cleaned and dried kelp.[11] For a cup of hot water, two to three spoons of kelp powder is used.[11] Optionally, sugar or honey can be added.[11]

Alternatively, around 30 grams (1.1 oz) of cleaned kelp pieces are infused in 300–500 millilitres (11–18 imp fl oz; 10–17 US fl oz) of hot water.[12] The kelp slices are removed after infusing, and salt is added to taste.[12]
