Kuzumizu? ni/asu kosu yama ni/utsuri keriTomorrow, when passing through the mountains-a refreshing drink
It is difficult to read the first line of the poem. Kuzu is arrowroot and during the Edo period a popular drink was made by mixing kuzu powder with water and sugar. The above translation is a conjecture of the meaning of the poem.
