Don't go doubting your fox wife, sir!

TN I forgot: Dashi is basically an umami soup base which gets used for everything - miso, soba, anything soup. You can make it out of almost anything with savory flavor - seaweed, shrimp, bonito flakes, prawn or crab shells, and, yes, clams.

I noticed it says chapter 11 at the top

Dang iiiiiit. I copy the top bit from a previous chapter to make sure it's consistent and then I change the chapter number.... except when it's too late and I forget to (this was done at 1 AM). Thank you, fixing now.

I didn't find a 'frog wife' fairy tale , but the 'clam wife' story is real (both are obvious variations of the crane wife).

 

[dude-e]

Thanks for the continued effort on the series!

Damn, japanese yokai wives are into some kinky shit.

Luckily for him his kitsune fiance has trained herself to not use wild mice and birds as ingredients.

Probably.

I guess this specific story wasn't compelling enough for anyone to translate into English, but here's the raw Japanese version of it. Just set your browser to translate pages to English, should be able to read it: https://minwanoheya.jp/area/niigata_028/

And here's a more interesting one, translated to English: https://yokai.com/kaerunyoubou/

Probably a market for that clam soup base in the modern world. Somewhere. (Probably browsing this site right now, honestly.)

Thanks for the chapter!

I have some basic knowledge of these Japanese tales thanks to Jigoku Sensei Nube lol

Probably.

Depending on the species, wild birds could be more than just fine. Such as wild ducks, to name an example.

thanks for confirming. guess I don't feel sorry for the husband in these stories.

now, I wonder if there is a variation: instead of the prey (frog) repaying him, the predator (snake) curses him.

Oh yes, there are a lot of 'animal curses the hunter' stories! None that involve marriage that I know of though. But that could be kind of hawt if you're into angry making out?

All this dashi talk got me hungry for udon.
Dashi can either be homemade by steeping any of the mentioned ingredients (dried kelp, skipjack flakes, bonito flakes, shiitake mushrooms, etc.) or prepackaged packets of dashi mix in water. The dashi is then mixed with mirin and soy sauce and then simmered to make the soup broth. Your udon noodles can also be homemade with nothing more than all-purpose flour and salted water, but it takes practice to get good noodles. Homemade Dashi should come out looking goldish if you're using the fish flakes (this is the only type I've made), remember to skim it. The leftovers can be reused like drying the fish flakes into a rice seasoning and eating the mushrooms.

A nice broth makes from:
2 1/2 cups dashi (either homemade or from a packet)
1 tbsp mirin (can substitute with sake)
1 tbsp soy sauce (usukuchi for a lighter color but it's just an aesthetic preference)
1/4 tsp salt (or 1/2 kosher salt if you got it)
1 tsp sugar (could skip since mirin has sugar in it already, but add a little more if subbed with sake)

Bring to just a boil then drop it low and cover to simmer.
Your noodles can be udon or if you're ghetto you can use any wheat pasta. Cook according to instructions.
Take the noodles out and strain them and optionally rinse with cold water, then put them into your serving bowl and fill with the broth.
If Kitsune udon all you need left is some aburaage which may be tricky if you don't have an asian grocer nearby. If it's prepackaged you need to squeeze it like a sponge to get all the oil out, then serve on top of the udon with choice of garnish like green onions and shichimi togarashi (seven spice) if you want it to have a spicy hit. You'd also serve the shiitake mushrooms here if you used that for making the dashi.

Honey, all the sparrows in the area have disappeared. What happened?
Dunno, but tonights dinner is yakitori

I don't mean cursing the hunter but cursing the person who saved its prey, so robbing the predator of its meal.
