The seasons



I will write about the seasons. My favorite season are autumn and winter, because I dislike hot weather. But I like the events of summer, for example The Star Festival (Tanabata) , Summer Festival, fireworks and sea bathing and so on. However, I go to neither the sea nor the swimming pool long. And I didn't go there this summer vacation. I want to go there by all means next year.

The reason is because fall good points are cool and easy to spend. And the foods are very delicious, for example chestnut, matsutake, pacific saury (sannma) and so on. But we should be careful overeating!!!
I like fall very beautiful scene. Recently I saw a lot of acorns and chestnuts arround my house. And the leaves turn in automn. Then there are the trees colored leaves various places.
There are a lot of temples where are famous for colored leaves in Kyoto, for example it's Arashiyama, kiyomizu-dera temple and Tofuku-ji temple and so on. Everyone, let's go there:)♪

Grandparents came to my house last time. Then I made "Ohagi" with my grandmother and my younger sister.
Do you like Ohagi? I like Ohagi very much. I will insert how to make Ohagi.

How to Make Ohagi
1) Wash some sticky rice (mochi-gome) and normal white rice.
Place on a Bamboo rack (zaru) and leave for half a day.

2) Add water to the rice and boil.

3) Place the rice in a suri-bachi and grind it with a surikogi.

4) Mold the rice into small egg shapes with the hands.

5) Cover with sweet bean jam (azuki-an), soy beans flour (kinako) and black sesame (goma).

Let's make it by all means.

  1. I like Ohagi, too, although I never make it myself. I also like to eat seasonal food. Last night I had matsutake with chicken and seaweed. Maybe it's a little early in the season for really good matsutake, but the stuff I had last night was great.

    Where I come from in the US we also have beautiful fall foliage everywhere and many people have wood stoves, so you can smell the crisp air and scent of smoke. I always feel a little homesick in the fall.

    Anyway, enjoy the great weather!
