ホモテナシ

This is an old revision of the document!

• CNY's 懐石 developed from the 本膳料理（ほんぜん）(elaborate meal for high social strata) and 精進料理（しょうじん）(vegetarian Zen monks), because it was related to both.
  • CQ78 notes that most meal traditions around the world have the host and guest eat together, but in CNY, the host does the serving.

利休：Entertain with farmer's soup and seasoned shrimp; it suffices for the host to do the serving.

• Jōō said: no more 一汁三菜（いち　じゅう　さん　さい）, one soup and three sides, even for a guest of honour.
