■前例を外れる(午後5時)
 羽生挑戦者の46手目△5二金で前例を外れた。金を前線に送り出す狙いがある。前述した竜王戦では△3一玉だった。
 この局面について山崎七段は「先手を持ってみたいという人が多いのでは。ただ、挑戦者はこれで互角に戦えると考えているのだと思います」と分析する。後 手は8一の桂馬が使えていないのと歩切れが弱点だが、玉の堅さが強みだ。山崎七段は「先手は玉が薄いので、慎重に進めないといけません」と話す。
(村瀬信也)

■おやつと解説会(午後3時)
 対局室の両者におやつが運ばれた。森内名人はフルーツの入ったロールケーキ、羽生挑戦者はチョコレートケーキ。飲み物はともに紅茶で一致した。
 ホテル内の会場では、大盤解説会が始まった。平日にもかかわらず、80人近いファンが詰めかけている。立会人の桐山清澄九段のほか、井上慶太九段、阿部隆八段、室田伊緒女流初段ら関西の人気棋士が次々に登壇。軽妙なトークで会場を盛り上げている。

■挑戦者の工夫は?(午後2時半)
 羽生挑戦者が後手となった本局。これまでの4局の出だしは「▲7六歩△8四歩」だったが、初めて「▲7六歩△3四歩」のスタートとなり、横歩取りへと進んだ。
 森内名人の対策は中住まい。40手目△6四銀の局面は、羽生名人(当時)が渡辺明竜王に挑戦した2年前の第23期竜王戦七番勝負第5局と同じだ。その時は先手の渡辺竜王が勝っている。
 解説で副立会人を務める山崎隆之七段は「挑戦者は、自分が以前敗れた形をもう一度やっています。これまでは後手の方が避けてきた局面なので、名人は意表をつかれているのではないでしょうか」と話す。
 名人はここで1時間近く考えている。腹の探りあいが続きそうだ。
(村瀬信也)

■対局再開(午後1時半)
 昼食休憩が終わり、対局が再開した。休憩前に44分使った挑戦者。再開してほどなく、△5三銀と指した。

■昼食休憩に(午後0時半)
 羽生挑戦者が38手目を考えているところで、昼食休憩に入った。ここまでの消費時間は森内名人が59分、羽生挑戦者が2時間12分。
 昼食メニューは、名人が海鮮ちらしずしに吸い物、フルーツ、挑戦者が「ちょっと辛め」のビーフカレーとサラダ。それぞれ自室でとっている。(深松真司)

■歴史を刻む盤(午前10時半)
 両対局者が向き合っている将棋盤は、樹齢数百年の榧(かや)の木から作られた希少盤。1962年2月、同じホテルであった第11期王将戦第3局で使われたものという。盤の底面には、当時対局した大山康晴王将・名人と加藤一二三八段の署名が残る。
 それからちょうど半世紀。30日の前夜祭で、「先人たちが脈々と築き上げた重みを受け止めたい」と挑戦者が話していたように、両者は将棋界の長い歴史に思いをはせつつ、勝負に臨んでいる。
 さて注目の戦型。盤上をのぞきみると、今シリーズ初めての「横歩取り」へと進んでいる。(深松真司)

■第5局始まる(午前9時)
 森内俊之名人(41)に羽生善治王位・棋聖(41)が挑戦している第70期将棋名人戦七番勝負(朝日新聞社、毎日新聞社主催)の第5局が31日、京都市 東山区のウェスティン都ホテル京都で始まった。ここまでの4局はいずれも先手番が制し、2勝2敗のタイ。どちらが栄冠へあと1勝と迫るか、注目の一番だ。
 午前8時47分、森内名人が「おはようございます」と対局室に入った。7分後には羽生挑戦者も入室し、盤を挟んで向き合った。
 午前9時、立会人の桐山清澄九段が「定刻になりましたので、森内名人の先手で始めて下さい」と告げると、両対局者は一礼。名人は一息ついて、初手▲7六歩を指した。挑戦者もほどなく△3四歩と応じた。(深松真司)

Tsukune (つくね?)Chicken meatball with 'enokidake' mushroom

Tsukune (つくね?) is a Japanese chicken meatball most often cooked yakitori style (but can be fried or baked) and sometimes covered in a sweet soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.


Summary

In general term, Tsukune means "kneaded with hand". A number of thickener are added to ground material such as beef, pork or fowl meat, and rarely fish meat. The mixture is kneaded or ground, and is molded into dumpling or meat stick.
It also refers to fish meatball, which is added to hot soup and called Tsumire-jiru (つみれ汁?), or fish ball soup. Tsukune is also enjoyed as Tsukune Nabe, a Japanese steamboat dish with numerous local varieties found in regions in Japan.
Traditionally. a fish fillet was ground using Suribachi (すり鉢(すりばち or 擂鉢) ?) grinding-bowl in Japan, but blenders are used in most homes recently.

Preparation

Thickeners such as chicken egg, crushed yam or bread crumb, as well as seasonings including ground ginger root, salt or soy sauce are added after meat is mashed or minced finely. The mixture is shaped into dumplings and/or meat sticks.
To taste, finely chopped garden vegetables are mixed into the minced meat. Vegetables and herbs such as leek Negi (ねぎ?), beefsteak plant Aojiso (青紫蘇?) also called Oba (大葉?), and at times, chopped cartilage of fowl tori nankotsu (鶏軟骨?) may be added for crunchy taste.
Commonly, Tsukune is found in Oden (おでん or 田楽(でんがく)?), a Japanese stew consisting of several ingredients in a light dashi (出汁(だし)?) broth. There are regional varieties to both Oden and Tsumire-jiru.
Tsukune is not always prepared from farm animal meat only. Similarly, Tsumire (つみれ?) is not all the time cocked with fish meat either. Tsukune is matched with Tsumire, and they may be called generally as gan (丸(がん)?) meaning minced meat in round shape.

Variety

  • boil: Nabe (鍋物?), or a dish cooked at the table.
  • broil: Yakimono (焼き物?), broiled or char-broiled dishes, including barbecued meatball.
  • fry: Agemono (揚げ物?) or deep-fry.
  • stew: Tsuyumono (汁物(つゆもの) or 団子汁(だんごじる)?), or stewed with vegitable and herbs.

JAPANESE HOME COOKING: Chicken meatball with 'enokidake' mushroom


May 10, 2012
Chicken meatball (“tsukune”) covered in sweet soy sauce is a favorite among young and old. But it can turn hard and dry when it cools.
Here, Yoko Munakata of the Better Home Association introduces tsukune that will stay moist and soft. The key is the ingredient to hold the mixture together–in this case grated potato–and the way you knead the mixture.
“The salt will make the meat stickier,” Munakata says.
First mix as if grabbing with your fingers, then mix about 20 times in a quick circular motion. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

300 grams ground chicken leg
1 bag (100 grams) enokidake mushroom
Piece of ginger (half the size of thumb)
1 medium-sized (100 gram) potato
Seasoning A (1/3 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sake)
Seasoning B (1/2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp each of soy sauce, sake and sweet mirin sake)

METHOD

Cut off root part of enokidake, then cut into length of 1 cm. Grate ginger without peeling. (Scrape off dirt with spoon if necessary.) Peel potato and grate with same grater so remaining ginger fiber can be used in full.
Mix meat and Seasoning A in bowl. Add ginger and potato with their juice. Knead until sticky and a mass is formed. Add enokidake.
Divide in 12 equal parts and form ovals that are 4-5 cm in diameter. Mixture is easier to handle with wet hands. Make dent in center to prevent tsukune from puffing up while cooking. Mix Seasoning B.
Heat 1 tsp cooking oil in frying pan, place six tsukune and cook for two minutes over medium heat until brown. Turn sides, put a lid on and cook for two-three more minutes and remove. They are done if clear juice flows out when poked with skewer. Add 1 tsp oil and cook remaining six.
Wipe oil in pan with paper towel. Return all tsukune, add Seasoning B. Cook for about two minutes over medium heat so sauce thickens and coats tsukune to give them a glaze.

square meal

 square meal

n.
A substantial, nourishing meal.


A square meal

Meaning

A substantial, nourishing meal.

Origin

It is frequently repeated, by tour guides and the like, that the expression 'a square meal' originated from the Royal Navy practice of serving meals on square wooden plates. Such plates did exist so that is a plausible story, but there's no other evidence to support it. In fact, the lateness of the first printed record (see below) pretty well rules this out as a credible theory. The Royal Navy's records and many thousands of ship's logs are still available and, if the phrase came from that source, it would surely have been recorded before the mid-19th century.
This 'square plate' theory is one of the best-known examples of folk-etymology. The phrase exists, the square plates exist, and two and two make five. To be more precise, what we have here is a back-formation. Someone hears the phrase 'square meal' and then invents a plausible story to fit it.
The word square has many meanings, including 'proper, honest, straightforward', and that's the meaning in 'square meal'. This isn't a rectilinear meal on right-angled crockery, but a good and satisfying meal.
The phrase is of US origin. All the early citations are from America, including this, the earliest print reference I have found - an advertisement for the Hope and Neptune restaurant, in the California newspaper The Mountain Democrat, November 1856:
"We can promise all who patronize us that they can always get a hearty welcome and 'square meal' at the 'Hope and Neptune. Oyster, chicken and game suppers prepared at short notice."
William Brohaugh, in the usually reliable 'English Through the Ages', dates the saying as having entered the language in 1840, although no supporting evidence is provided. There certainly was a spate of coinages of 'food words' in the USA around that date. The terms below all originated in the 1830s and 40s:
Chili con carne
Clambake
Cottage cheese 
Cupcake
Gazpacho
Jerky
Restaurant
Tea cake
Tenderloin 
Tutti-frutti
Seafood
The use of 'square' to mean honest and straightforward goes back to at least the 16th century; for example, in 1591, in Robert Greene's Defence of Conny Catching:
"For feare of trouble I was fain to try my good hap at square play."
Soon after that, Shakespeare used it in Anthony and Cleopatra, 1606:
"She's a most triumphant Lady, if report be square to her."
Other phrases use the word with that same meaning, for example, 'fair and square', 'square play', square deal' etc. but these haven't had spurious derivations invented for them. Coincidentally, another phrase - the opposite of 'fair and square' - also has a false derivation relating to plates in the Royal Navy. The story goes like this. The square wooden plates that sailors received their food on had raised edges called 'fiddles'. If they took too much they were 'on the fiddle'. Perhaps 'story' is being too kind; invention might be more accurate. The evidence for the prosecution is:
- There is no record of the edges of sailors' plates having any name, let alone a fiddle. No dictionary I can find lists that meaning. 
- Despite searching high and low, I've not been able to find any citation of the phrase 'on the fiddle' from before the 20th century, apart from those that clearly mean 'playing the violin'. There are several old 'fiddle' phrases - 'fiddle faddle', '
fiddling while Rome burns', 'second fiddle' etc., but no 'on the fiddle'.
In support of the story there is - well, nothing. It's never possible to prove a negative so, if you hear that derivation from a tour guide and ask for evidence they might just provide it. Don't bet the mortgage on it though; you're more likely to spot Elvis playing tiddlywinks with Lord Lucan.
