Here is a good video on daily life during the Sengoku Era. The five minute mark and after is key. It covers the food and seasoning that people ate during the time of Nobunaga. Miso, salt, and vinegar was used a lot. Around the six minute mark or so, the video mentions that Nobunaga had a taste for strong foods. I have covered this subject when I started blogging many years ago. One must remember that Nobunaga almost put a chef to death since the food was not prepared to his liking. Narezushi is mentioned in the video and it is important. Narezushi was prepared to preserve fermented fish by using salt and raw rice. Also simple foods such as yuzuke (okayu) was mentioned in the video. Okayu is hot water poured on top of rice. It was well known that right before Nobunaga left for the front during the Battle of Okehazama, he had a couple of helpings of yuzuke/okayu.
I highly recommend this video and the person who does these videos does an excellent job explaining others about Nobunaga and others during the Sengoku Era.
Nobunaga no tame!
