徳川吉宗、趣味は「粗食と節約」Tokugawa Yoshimune's hobbies were "simple food and saving money"

「暴れん坊将軍」で知られる徳川吉宗は、実は超ドケチな節約家でした。彼は普段から「一汁一菜」（ご飯と味噌汁＋漬物だけ）を徹底し、自らの食事は庶民と変わらないレベル。家臣に「将軍なんだからもっと贅沢してください！」と言われても、「倹約こそ政治の基本！」と譲らなかったとか。
Tokugawa Yoshimune, known as the "Brawler Shogun," was actually a very stingy frugal man. He usually followed a diet of "one soup and one dish" (rice, miso soup, and pickles), and his own meals were no different from those of ordinary people. Even when his retainers told him, "You're the Shogun, so please be more extravagant!", he refused to budge, saying, "Frugality is the basis of politics!"
