現代語訳
鉢植えの草木を五つ六つ並べてあった。この露台に行くには、見過ごして通り過ぎてきた六畳敷きの座敷の東の方に少しの廊下があって、切り抜き口を出ればすなわち露台である。この口にも例の幕をかけてあった。ここの切り抜き口に清朝仕立てとも言うべき雪踏が一足見える（この雪踏は清朝より来た品ではなく、おそらく昔、山本庄左衛門が六文屋に注文して作らせた形を取って造ったものであろう。鍵半や玉川三次等の世話によるものであろう）。
席の畳は二尺八寸四方で縁を付けて仕立て、それを筋違いに敷いて煉瓦のように仕立ててある。畳の上には紅ダンツウの二間に九尺ばかりのものを敷き、丸い黒漆の卓台がある。台の上にはギヤマン（ガラス製）の鬱金色の花状のコップ、ギヤマンの皿等を客の数ほど四方に並べ、箸を添える。紙箸は糊入れ紙をたたんで上に寿の字を紅で記す。台の真中に薄荷酒、保命酒をギヤマンの瓶に入れて置く。切子のふた物に砂糖があり、また切子の箸立てに箸を数膳立ててある。
さて料理については、小菜に
海胆蒲鉾
これもガラスの六寸ほどの切子の皿に盛り、以下同じ
鶉胡麻蒲鉾
紅白花形薯蕷
英語訳
Five or six potted plants and trees were arranged there. To reach this open platform, one would go past the six-tatami room that had been overlooked and passed by, where there was a small corridor to the east, and upon exiting through a cut-out opening, one would reach the platform. This opening also had the usual curtain hanging. At this cut-out opening, a pair of wooden clogs in what could be called Qing dynasty style could be seen (these clogs were not items that came from the Qing dynasty, but were likely made long ago by Yamamoto Shōzaemon, who had them custom-made at Rokumonya, copying that style. They were probably arranged through the services of Kagihan, Tamagawa Sanji, and others).
The seat mats were two shaku and eight sun square with borders attached, laid diagonally like bricks. On top of the mats, a red cotton cloth about two ken by nine shaku was spread, and there was a round black lacquered table. On the table, glass cups in turmeric yellow with flower patterns, glass plates, and so forth were arranged around the four sides according to the number of guests, with chopsticks provided. The paper chopstick wraps were made by folding glue-paper and marking the character for "longevity" (寿) in red on top. In the center of the table, mint liqueur and hōmei-shu (medicinal sake) were placed in glass bottles. There was sugar in cut-glass covered containers, and several pairs of chopsticks stood in cut-glass chopstick holders.
As for the cuisine, among the side dishes:
Sea urchin kamaboko
This too was served on cut-glass plates about six sun in size, same as below
Quail sesame kamaboko
Red and white flower-shaped yam cake
