That night, the menu was not white rice, but red rice.
"The beans are cowpea ...... black-eyed peas, aren't they?"
The color of sekihan comes from the juice released when the beans are boiled.

In this case, azuki beans (akame-mame in Ars) are often used, but cowpeas (kurome-mame in Ars) are sometimes used.
In some regions, cowpeas, which have a tougher skin, are used because the skin of azuki beans is soft and tears easily.
When he was at the facility, Jin was taught by the director to cook sekihan with cowpea, which was less prone to failures.

Some commercial tempura flour is mixed with starch (katakuriko) to make it less sticky .......

"The pickled vegetables are also well pickled."
Jin likes asazuke (lightly pickled vegetables). This is because he does not like sour taste.
In this respect, the cucumber and eggplant pickles served this time were to his liking.

The tea was hojicha (roasted green tea), which seemed to be freshly roasted and had a very nice aroma.
Thus, Jin was completely satisfied with the meal.
