I went shopping grocery at seasoning section and that brought back memories of that story.
I was wondering why mushrooms are sold at a vegetable section. isn't it a kind of mistake because they are fungi? I believe it's closer to meat academically. and you too, natto!
one day, I said that question to one of my friends. then she said me that it seemed that she couldn't believe that sugar is sold at the same section of salt because they are organic and inorganic each! they're fundamentally different!
I though that was one way of looking at it. but aren't both of case only Japan? I don't know.
anyway I've finally used up sweet cooking sake named Mirin. you probably know that the expire date was already gone. and that was right. it was made in 2015, and expire date was 2017, and now is 2021. I don't care unless it was bad for my health.
but maybe I'm just not aware of the harm I'm doing? I'm completely fine, though. is that my idea of "fine" also assumption?
見解の違いというものはどこにでもあるもので、自分はきのこ類が菌類なのに野菜コーナーで売られていることに疑問を持っていました。納豆だって肉に近いはずです。その疑問を友人にぶつけたところ、「砂糖は有機物で塩は無機物なのに同じコーナーにあることの方がおかしい！」と反論されました。反論なのか？しかし、なるほどそういう見方もあるか！と思いました。カテゴライズなんて人間が勝手に都合が良いように決めているだけですからね。
ようやく1リットルのみりんを約6年がかりで使い切り、調味料コーナーに寄ったときにこのことを思い出しました。賞味期限はとっくに切れていましたが健康状態に問題はないと思います。直ちに影響がないというやつかもしれません。
