40 years old +

Seems like, it will be good this year...




another week should be able to start harvesting.


Quite number of fruits already dropped but,
still riping many persimmons.






My grandma planted this tree, co-memoration for building her house.
now this tree is around 40 years old.




Surprised that seedless breed was already invented that time...=)

Kinmokusei : Guihua

Open the window in the morning,
it comes the smell of flower.




it's time for 'Kinmokusei (Sweet Osmanthus)' to bloom.





it's quite common to plant this tree around my area...



One of my favorite flower.




Not too strong but naturally soothing this smell,
it's just like aroma therapy,

When I had something sad or bad,
wake up in the morning, feel cold fresh air and smell of this flower,
enough to make fresh feeling...




what am I writing...=P

Ryouka - cooling sweets

Warabi mochi is kind of refreshing summer sweets.
but sometimes even during winter, I feel like having it.




warabi is kind of fern, warabi mochi is made from its starch.
now is not so easy to find purely made from warabi starch.



Like its gentle sweetness.




Eat it with soy bean flour and sugar mix also nice,
eat only Warabi mochi also nice.





reminds me of demonstrating it at SP...
feel so nostalgic...

Breads of the week

Last week, was also do baking almost everyday.

Natural yeast breads

While I was away from Hiroshima,
it seems some nice bakeris opened.



Bagel from [Yamadayama Shokudou]


small but very chewy!!


Just recently opened its branch in the City area,
[deRien]'s Pavot (poppy seed bread)


nice sour taste of natural yeast and maybe rye flour.

deRien is well known shop but becouse of the bakery's location,
I had no chance to try their bread.
At last I can try!!

those bakeries uses natural yeast, (they make by themselves)
and deRien uses stone oven.

Memo : before I forget...

It's already in Autumn,



use blog for note before I forget...lol




When I go for fishing to Setouchi sea during summer,
Sometimes fish, 'Gizami'.
('Bela' is more common name)



colourful fish like tropical fish. male and female is different colour.

This fish, popular cooking method is marinate with vinegar.
Usually deep fry and marinate for a few days.
My family style is grilled and marinate.


Vinegar sauce is 180cc vinegar, 120cc sugar and 2 tbsp soya sauce.
(should be like that...)



1 week marinate, bone also can be eaten.

Refreshing food for tiring summer!!
