Abstract

In this paper, I referred to the records of the menus for the Shogun, Tokugawa Ienari, known as the Chori Sosho in order to research into his dietary life. The first six volumes of the Chori Sosho are a record of meals served on special occasions. A feature of the remaining twelve volumes is that the Shogun's dietary life includes special meals to commemorate previous ancestors and suchlike people. We can also separate the meals prepared for special occasions from those on ordinary days. The latter suggest that the Shogun's diet was simple. Fish dishes are most plentiful, then vegetable dishes, and that care is taken to avoid food poisoning. In conclusion, his diet can be said to be quite lavish and both full of variety and seasonal touches. It therefore appears that he was exempt from the laws against indulgence at the time.
