The gojiru my grandmother makes has a rich soybean flavor and is delicious.
寒い日には、温かい呉汁が体にしみる。
On a cold day, a hot bowl of gojiru really warms you up.
The name 呉汁 (gojiru) likely derives from 呉 (go), an old term for ground soybeans, and 汁 (shiru/jiru), meaning soup. The exact historical origin is uncertain.
