We eat gokayuh (rice gruel) on the seventh day of the new
year.
Because our stomachs are tired after eating so much mochi
and osechi-ryori from January 1.
So it becomes customary
to eat rice gruel,which is easily digestible.
We call it gNanakusa-gayuh because we put seven
kinds of herbs in it.
These herbs are:seri,nazuna,gogyou,hakobera,hotokenoza,suzuna
and suzusiro.
These herbs are mild on the stomach,help digestion,
increaseblood cells,and provide nutrition.
This is very healthy
food which was discovered by people a long time ago.
This
day originally used to be called gJinjitsu no Sekkuh.
