The taste of 75 spring, "bamboo shoots"

[Asunaro] April 30, 2018 09:00

Bamboo shoots are the first delicious food at this time.

It's a bamboo shoot, so it's called a bamboo shoot.

 Because it grows into bamboo in just ten days after the buds emerge.

Using "season", which means ten days, it is also written as "bamboo shoots".

You can get flavorful raw bamboo shoots.

It's about ten days at this time. 。 。


 In the old days, it was called "Gokutake" and was not suitable for food.

Moso bamboo was introduced from China during the Edo period, and the bamboo shoots were used.

It is soft and less bitter, so you can eat it as you like.

I did it.

"The first 75 days," he said.

It is one of the tastes of spring that you definitely want to taste.

As Rikyu flowers are in the field

[Asunaro] April 23, 2018 12:00

Riku plum has begun to bloom.

The words of flowers are "constant beauty" and "elegance".

With a modest feeling, elegant flowers are not too assertive.
It seems to be used as a tea flower.

 For this reason, the word "Rikyu plum" may be applied.
Since it is a flower that came to Japan during the Meiji era, what is the tea master Sen no Rikyu?
It doesn't seem to have anything to do.

 The buds and flowering are about the same.
The contrast between fresh green leaves and white flowers is good.
It gives you a refreshing impression.

    

 In Rikyu's words, "flowers are in the field."

    

It is beautiful as it is natural and expresses the sense of the current season.
It's a perfect flower.

"N" is a lingering sound.

When "Nihonbashi" is written in Roman letters.

If Japan is Nihon, it will be Nihonbashi.

I guess. Still, Roman letters are displayed at the place where they are posted.

So it's different. For example, a signboard on the sidewalk could be used.

On the other hand, the station name is displayed.

In Roman letters, the sound repellency "n" is represented by n, but

There is a format that makes the sound repellency before b, m, and p m.

In the case of Nihonbashi, "ba" continues next, so it will be m.

The bar line is pronounced in a closed shape with both lips.

The "n" just before that is the idea of m.

Nihombashi

It is written according to actual pronunciation and is easy to read for English-speaking people.

I think it's right. I don't particularly distinguish sound repellency in Japanese.

This writing may be unnatural.

Think about who the display is for.

You have to choose it.

April 8 is Historical Buddha's birthday.

As soon as Historical Buddha was born, he had seven steps in all directions.

Point the heavens with your right hand and the earth with your left hand

"Tenjo Tenka Yuga Dokuson,"

It is said that he said, and is enshrined in Hanamido.

The statue is the figure at that time.

Pour sweet tea with hishaku to celebrate the birth.

It seems that sweet tea has an antiallergic effect.

Expecting effect on hay fever

It's a good idea to spend a relaxing spring day.
