Mutton soup was originally a hot soup made of mutton. Mutton soup originated in China and was introduced to Japan, becoming a traditional snack in Japan. In the early days, mutton soup was a soup in which mutton was added and then cooled to a frozen state. Later, mutton soup was introduced to Japan, but from Kamakura to Muromachi, Zen was introduced. Because monks are forbidden to eat meat, mutton soup gradually evolved into a jelly-like food made of beans. Since then, mutton soup has become one of the famous teas in the tea ceremony.
