Bansenshukai Hunger Pills: Ninja Food
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2014
- Here I make a batch of "hunger pills" which are a compact, portable food described in the Bansenshukai, the ninja text written in 1676 by Fujibayashi Yasutake. The Bansenshukai is available in english in a book titled, "The Book of the Ninja" by Antony Cummins and Yoshie Minami.
"A little like dirt and ginseng" Not bad.jpg
Did you ever end up making that 3 year batch? If so, how'd it turn out?
Dirt and ginseng. Yummy!
Woa , expensive stuff.
Adding ginseng to pemmican might be a tastier alternative.lol
In regards to the hunger pills though,did the book give any indication as to the shelf life?
I assume these will raise your blood pressure alot.
Not too bad.. Tastes like dirt and ginseng lol aye mate sounds tasty :P 3 Year batch should be done soon you still got it ? Im going to try this would be handy, never know when theyd be useful
The real question we should be asking is, do they work? You made a batch Gabriel, so did you eat the batch?
+Shigure Sohma I used them when I went camping in my "Ninja Camping" video. Yes they work surprisingly well. All I brought for food camping was a can of soup, coffee, and those pellets. From about 1 or 2 in the afternoon to about 11 AM the next day, that's all I ate. In the afternoon I waited until I felt really hungry, then eat just one to see the effect. Just one was enough to feel something in your stomach as well as a rush from the ginseng. So during that whole period I ate about 5 or 6 of them and wasn't hungry. You absolutely have to drink water with them because they're so dry and basically taste like dirt.
Thanks for the info, it's very helpful. I wonder if adding other things for flavoring would help, or perhaps a dipping sauce? If you try it, let me know. Take care and keep up the good work.
Shigure Sohma Well I stored them in salt, and the little that dissolved on the outside improved the taste a lot. The taste sort of grows on you. It's a healthy dirt taste ha ha.
+Gabriel Rossa What page is this recipe ?
has anyone made a modern version? are power bars similar?
no way in hell. power bars are not like the real thing. power bars have artificial shit mixed in
Sushi rice might be best
Sweet... Sake is not going to be cheap though ?
Nice video very informative.
Cheers !!
That 3 liters of sake was 17 bucks.
that would be close to around $150.00 Australian Dollars Japanese Sake not cheap here unfortunately. which is a real bummer But everytime I travel to Japan I feel like a kid in a candy-store there are so many different kinds there are literary aisle upon aisle of the stuff...And thats not including all the boutique breweries around. I just LOVE the stuff. .
Aaron McGlade It says "Honolulu Brewing Company" bottled in Berkeley, California lol.
Just a heads up, California Sakes are very inexpensive, and if you are doing it specifically for cooking you really won't notice. If you still need help (3 years later) i can compile a list of california sake brands that are inexpensive, because I work at a liquor store and deal with distributors almost every day.
Japanese Sake is more expensive, but they do have cheap options if you don't mind something generally unflavored, with added rice liquor. It's the japanese equivalent to malt drinks such as smirnoff ice or the American 40oz Colt45.
I highly recommend finding Go-Shu, the Australian sake. It's a very fine drink, with premium ingredients, but costs roughly $17 per 750ml bottle. You can likely find it cheaper at a liquor store in your area that mainly sells wine, as they generally get bulk deals if they buy more than 2-3 cases.
Good luck my friend.
I thought ryo was a currency in japan before yen, but you make it sound like a weight measurement
im late but during two periods they meant different things in each
So what do you do with the mix before and during the process in the oven?
Saké is expensive in oz. I'll say even more in nz.
+Mystninja001 If you're lucky enough to live in Japan trust me some sake is cheap as dirt.
Yummy!
I think the taste is cause it's raw, including raw flour... The "cooking" was supposed to be the fermentation, I guess.
So, have you tried them after three years?
Unfortunately I had to throw them away after a couple years. My fridge died and they got all wet.
I'm curious as to about how long these keep for.
I suspect a very long time if they're kept dry. I kept them in ziploc bags where the bags had salt all around them in the refrigerator and they seemed edible after a year. They are rock hard and by using sake instead of water, mold doesn't want to grow.
Gabriel Rossa That's what I assumed the alcohol might help with. Thanks for the speedy reply. Love your videos!
Thanks!
did he say 3 years??
+MrBrunosvensson yep. Maybe some kind of fermentation? It said to soak it for 3 years as the sake evaporates. It's not very clear.
So... did you soak some of them for 3 years?
What pages can this be found in the Bansenshukai? Thanks.
btw u know the ninjas food pills I'm impressed
Can I replace the sake? I’m trying not to “drink” alcohol or does it evaporate?
Can't Remember it evaporates. Just like any recipe where you cook with alcohol.
Does it have any alcoholic taste ? I thinking of eating them during work . As my work is very laborious .
@@zacharywho5442 thanks sorry for the 2 year late reply
@@chuaeddie9302 mine didn't have an alcoholic tast
Your recipe is different from the recipe another NInja posted here on youtube, but you used the same source material. Why is that?
does anyone know of a European counterpart of this?
Why do you need a European counter part?
do I need the sake, I'm not about that life 😡
The sake evaporates.
thank you!!
Abraham R it's not gonna get you drunk boi. It just doesn't taste good
If you don't drink the sake you can't be a ninja. Sorry, we have rules here.
Is that much ginseng safe?
gilgsn You have to consider that you're only supposed to eat three lumps the size of peach pits per day.
I think maybe the recipe was calling for fresh grated ginseng? The moisture content would add to the weight resulting in a significant reduction in volume for the specified amount. I don't really know much about ginseng, but based on the information I do have and some personal experience - it gets you jacked. If that was in fact the intended amount, well... that totally explains everything about shinobi.
Which page is it on?
Page 471, says how to make hunger pills and thirst pills, you can translate ryo and that stuff for the amount if you have the book called "The Secret Traditions Of The Shinobi: Hattori Hanzo's Shinobi Hiden And Other Ninja Scrolls" by Antony Cummins and Yoshie Minami
what page is this on
+DemonOfDamnation 471..
Where did you get thee ingredients from?
+Pierate21 Some I could buy locally and some like coix seeds and yam powder I had to order on the internet.
i sometimes buy yams, how do i turn them into powder?
@@Zephyr_Weiss
Regular yams will not turn to powder, must be Japanese yam. As far as the process is concerned... such secrets are not so easily divulged.
@@Shin_Lona I don't remember typing this, or even the reason why I typed it lol
@@Zephyr_Weiss LOL all good. I'm just tryin to work this mystical yam angle.
what is yam ?
Yams are Sweet potatoes
