udon kuyoo うどん供養 memorial service for Udon noodles


source : NHK 2012
at the Rinzai Zen temple 相国寺 Shokoku-Ji in Kyoto

Usually the priests are not allowed to make any sound while eating.
But twice a month they get a food offering of Udon and are allowed to slurp the noodles. They also have to eat all the Udon they got.

The Folk Art of Japanese Country Cooking: A Traditional Diet for Today's World
By Gaku Homma
"The ceremony is called "udon kuyo", but what we got was somen."
The priests call somen "Udon".
... It was great fun to make loud slurping noises while enjoying the noodles.

鼠小僧の祟り，源助茶屋
大正１０年ごろ、鼠小僧治郎吉の墓を学校を建てるために埋め、化学実験室が建てられた。化学実験室は原因不明の火事で全焼し、新築するもまた丸焼けになった。鼠小僧の祟りだという噂が出たので、墓を探して現在の場所に安置し、懇ろに供養した。
