Readers’ Corner: Afraid of Chico-chan

First of all, I‘d to thank the readers who sent me an answer to my question yesterday. “What is the special day?” The answer is “Thanksgiving.” Now, here is today’s story.

The Japanese language has an expression, “ochazuke,” but I find the name a bit strange. How do you make “ochazuke”? Do you pour green tea over rice? Probably not. You usually pour hot water over rice, right? That makes me wonder why it isn’t called “oyuzuke” instead. Does anyone know why? Chico-chan might know the answer to my question, but I don’t want to ask her because I don’t want to be scolded by her and hear, “Don’t sleep through life!” (81 words)
