第15話：わが家のお茶事情（2021年8月26日）

おはようございます、あずです

Good morning, this is Azu.

時刻は2021年8月26日、木曜日の朝7時になりました

It is 7 a.m. on Thursday, August 26, 2021.

番組名は暮らし話ということで

The program is called "Living Stories."

この時間はまだ半分寝ぼけまなこな私が

At this time, I am still half-asleep with drowsy eyes.

今日も自分のご機嫌、自分で撮っていくぞという気持ちで

Today, I feel like capturing my own mood by myself.

少しでも気分が上がる話を繰り広げるラジオ番組です

It's a radio show that unfolds stories to lift your spirits a little.

一つの物事をこんな風に感じたり暮らしたりする人もいるんだなーって想像しながら

I imagine that there are people who feel and live like this about a particular thing.

聞いていただけると嬉しいです

I would be happy if you could listen.

平日の朝7時頃から約10分お送りしています

I send it for about 10 minutes starting around 7 AM on weekdays.

今朝もインターネットラジオスタートです

This morning, the internet radio starts again.

今日の暮らし話、テーマは

Today's lifestyle story, the theme is

我が家のお茶事情

Our family's tea situation.

我が家のお茶事情です

This is our family's tea situation.

皆さんは日々飲まれているお茶、どんなものを使ってますか?

What kind of tea do you all drink on a daily basis?

我が家はですね、ただいま色々使ってはきたんですが

In our house, we've been using various things lately.

トウモロコシ茶というものに落ち着きました

I settled on corn tea.

トウモロコシ茶、別の名をコーン茶とも言うそうです

Corn tea, also known as corn cha.

これを採用しています

We are adopting this.

お湯だし水だし、どちらもいけますね

Both hot water and cold water are fine.

このね、トウモロコシ茶っていうものに出会ったきっかけっていうのがありまして

You know, there was a reason I came across this thing called corn tea.

それは数年前、もうどうだろうな、7、8年くらい前でしょうか

That was a few years ago, I wonder how long ago it was, about 7 or 8 years maybe?

当時ですね、私と母と妹と3人で

At that time, it was just me, my mother, and my younger sister, the three of us.

女鎮道中っていうですね

It's called "Onna Chindouchu."

いつも行き当たりばったりなようで

It always seems to be haphazard.

ここででも計画されたですね

It was planned here, wasn't it?

韓国旅行、お隣、日本のお隣の国、韓国旅行に行くことに

I decided to travel to South Korea, the neighboring country next to Japan.

ハマってた時期があって、1年に1度かな

There was a time when I was really into it, maybe once a year.

あと1泊2日とか弾丸ツアーみたいな感じで当時行ってました

It felt like a bullet tour, like just a one-night, two-day trip back then.

そのですね、お隣、韓国で出会ったのがこのトウモロコシ茶

Well, you see, I encountered this corn tea in the neighboring country, Korea.

辛い食べ物が韓国っていうのはお決まりなような

It seems that spicy food is a given when it comes to Korea.

日本で暮らす人たちにとっては韓国料理っていうのは辛いんだっていう印象が

For people living in Japan, the impression of Korean cuisine is that it is spicy.

やっぱりおのずとイメージしやすいかと思うんですけれども

As I thought, it seems easy to imagine naturally.

辛い食べ物、香辛料効いて刺激的で頭覚醒する感じ

Spicy food, with the spices stimulating and giving a sense of awakening to the mind.

ちょっとニンニクも効いてて

It's a bit garlicky too.

食べてても、なんというか辛いのに無限で食べれるというか

Even though it's辛い, it's like I can eat an infinite amount of it.

極端な話

In extreme cases.

それぐらい辛いのに食べたくなる食欲が増進していく感じ

Even though it’s that painful, I feel my appetite increasing and wanting to eat.

でもお腹いっぱいになって先にダメになるっていうか

But it's more like I'll get full and end up being no good first.

もう食べれないってなるんですけど

I feel like I can't eat anymore.

ただやっぱり食べるっていうことは何か飲まないと食が進まなくて

But still, when it comes to eating, you need to drink something to help with the meal.

韓国料理をお隣、現地でですね、韓国という国で

Korean food next door, in the local area, in the country of Korea.

あちこちはしごしたりとか食べ歩いてると

When I'm hopping around to different places and eating my way through them...

ある共通の出来事があったんですね

There was a common event, wasn't there?

それが何かというと

What that is, is...

行く先行く先でたまたまかもしれないけど

It might just be a coincidence wherever I go.

このコーンチャ、トウモロコシ茶に

This corn tea is made from corn.

行く先行く先で出会ってて

Meeting at every turn.

もしかしたらそのお決まりなのかもしれないですけども

It might be a usual thing, but...

最初のお水の代わりにみたいな

Like instead of the first water.

そんな感じでたまたま

It just happened like that.

たたちが行ったお店がそうだったのかもしれないですが

It may have been the case with the store we went to.

これと出会いました

I encountered this.

トウモロコシ茶に出会いました

I encountered corn tea.

最初は口にした時に

At first, when I tasted it.

ん?っていう

"Huh? What do you mean?"

紅茶?お茶?

Black tea? Green tea?

なんだい?っていうですね

What do you mean?

かなり薄めたお茶かい?みたいな

Is it like considerably diluted tea?

だけどなんか飲んでいくと

But somehow, when I start drinking...

口に何も入ってない状態で

With nothing in my mouth.

ただコーンチャ、トウモロコシ茶だけ飲んでいくと

Just by drinking corn tea, you'll...

なんかね、ほんのり甘さも残りながら

Well, you know, there's a faint sweetness remaining.

でも香ばしいっていうのが終始続くみたいな

But it seems that the roasted flavor continues throughout.

なんだこれは?みたいな感じで

What is this? It feels like that.

不思議な気持ちになって

I feel a mysterious sensation.

で、そのまま辛い食べ物を連続して食べた後に

So, after eating spicy food in a row...

またこう、あのー飲んでいく

I'm going to drink again, you know.

トウモロコシ茶を飲んでいくと

As you drink corn tea...

あーねー

Ah, I see.

辛すぎる食べ物に対して

For food that is too spicy.

ほんのり甘さが感じられる

A slight sweetness can be felt.

トウモロコシ茶っていうのが

It's called corn tea.

もう絶妙なバランスで

Already a perfect balance.

うまー!みたいな

Yummy! It's like that.

トウモロコシ茶で

With corn tea.

辛さレベルがだんだんリセットされて

The level of spiciness is gradually being reset.

で、また食べる?みたいな

So, are we eating again?

なんか、そういうことかと

I see, so that's what it is.

あー、だからこっちの国では

Ah, that's why in this country...

韓国ではトウモロコシ茶っていうのは

In South Korea, corn tea is called...

愛されてるんだなっていうのが

It feels like I am being loved.

もうなんかね、すぐピピンってくるぐらい

It's like, you know, it comes to me immediately.

辛いものとね

Spicy things and, you know.

私はですけども

I am, but...

辛いものとよく合うなっていう風に感じました

I felt that it goes well with spicy food.

それからですね、日本に帰ってきて

After that, I returned to Japan.

家でトウモロコシ茶飲もうよーとかって

"Let's drink corn tea at home!"

家族で言うんですけど

It's something we say as a family.

女3人でね、家族で

Three women, together as family.

女3人で韓国旅行って帰ってきて

Three women went on a trip to Korea and came back.

父親はその時は仕事か何かで来なかったんですけども

My father didn't come at that time because he was at work or something.

家帰ってトウモロコシ茶っていうのがあってねーみたいな

I got home and there’s this thing called corn tea, you know?

お土産ではちょっと買わなかったんですけども

I didn't really buy anything as a souvenir.

まあ、そういうのってどう思う?みたいな

Well, what do you think about things like that?

なんか日本でもなんかそういう

It seems like something like that is happening in Japan too.

輸入食材屋さんとかで売ってるらしいみたいな

It seems like it’s sold at imported food stores.

で、なんかどうだろうかって

So, I'm wondering what it's like.

お試しで飲んだのかな

I wonder if you tried drinking it as a test.

父親はあんまりなんかちょっとこう

My father is not really... a little bit like this.

当時あの辛いものを私が韓国で食べて

At that time, I ate that spicy food in Korea.

その後トウモロコシ茶飲んでの感動というのが

After that, the impression of drinking corn tea is...

やっぱりあまりそこまで感動

I guess it didn't impress me that much after all.

感動数が上がらなかったっていうか

It's not that the emotional impact didn't increase.

感動具合が低かったので

Because the level of emotion was low.

まあ、いいかな

Well, that's fine.

トウモロコシ茶じゃなくてもいいかなみたいな

I guess it doesn't have to be corn tea or anything like that.

いつも通り緑茶か麦茶でいいよみたいな感じで

It’s the usual, so green tea or barley tea is fine.

ああ、やっぱそうだよねーみたいな

Ah, I knew it, just like that.

家族の家長であるですね

You are the head of the family, right?

うちの父親はですね

My father is...

いつも通り緑茶、麦茶でいいというですね

As usual, green tea or barley tea is fine, right?

決断に至ったので

Because I reached a decision.

普及することがその後もうちではなかったんですけどもね

It didn't become widespread afterwards, you know.

実家ではあまり普及しなかったんですが

It didn't become very popular at my parents' house, but...

ただ、どんなともあの感動をですね

However, that feeling of emotion, no matter what it is.

特別なお茶だっていう感動がですね

It's the excitement of it being a special tea.

植えなくて

I won't plant it.

焼肉屋さんとか、あと飲食店とか

Yakiniku restaurants and other dining establishments.

ちょっとエスニック系のお店に行くと

When you go to a somewhat ethnic store,

いつもトウモロコシ茶っていうのを見つければですね

Whenever I find corn tea, you know.

あ、トウモロコシ茶頼もうみたいな感じで

Oh, it's like I'm thinking of ordering corn tea.

割とですね

It's relatively...

他にもうちょっとなんかコスパの良さそうな

Something else that seems to have a better cost-performance ratio.

飲み物があったとしても

Even if there is a drink.

トウモロコシ茶でってこうね

It's like with corn tea.

自分から手を挙げて言うようになってましたね

You have started to raise your hand and speak up on your own.

それぐらいやっぱ自分にとって感激度数の高い感動のお茶だったんですけども

That was definitely a tea that had a high level of inspiration and emotion for me.

感動指数の高いお茶

Tea with a high emotional impact.

それがトウモロコシ茶だったんですよね

That was corn tea, you know.

Up to this point, I have simply been...
