【No. 1025】Daigomi (醍醐味 - The True Pleasure)

Oct 8, 2017 07:37
There are several Japanese terms that describe a pleasure.

Today I'd like to talk about "daigomi" (醍醐味) among them.

"Daigomi" means a true pleasure or depth of favor.

The "daigo" (醍醐) of "daigomi" is a Buddhist term, and it means a high-grade milk product that is made from cow or sheep milk through various processes.

Because "daigomi" (醍醐味 - taste of daigo) is pure and the bast taste, it originally means "the best thing/teaching" in Buddhism, and it has come to mean the current meaning.

Some people think that "daigo" is equivalent to yogurt in the modern meaning.
醍醐味

面白さを形容する言葉にはさまざまなものがあります。

今日はその中から、「醍醐味」という言葉を紹介します。

「醍醐味」は、物事の本当の面白さや味わい深さを表す言葉です。

「醍醐」は仏教用語であり、牛や羊の乳をさまざまな過程で精製した、高級な乳製品を表します。

「醍醐の味」は純粋で最高の味であることから、「醍醐味」は仏教において「最上のもの/教え」を意味するようになり、これが転じて現在の意味を持つようになりました。

「醍醐」は現在のヨーグルトであるという説もあります。
