Jabara (a kind of sitrus)

There is one Michi-no-eki (station of the national road) in Habikino city. Osaka. We got Jabara, a kind of citrus. I used it with Shochu (Japanese distilled spirit) on the rocks. The flavor was very unique. The origin was Kitayama village in Wakayama prefecture, it was made from natural intercross with citruses around there. Frankly, I do not like it.

Gardener

In this year, neighbor gardener did not come and 3 other gardeners worked to prune trees in my garden. They scheduled to work for 2 days but needed to work half more days because they cut down 3 dead big trees. The result of pruning was not so good. After all, well-trained neighbor gardener’s job was outstanding.

Japanese Pheasant Nabe (stew)

The other day, I ate Japanese Pheasant Nabe (Japanese stew) at hot spring town in Okayama prefecture. Before I ate it I guessed it might be Miso taste Nabe to absorb strong character of Japanese pheasant but it was soy source soup stew, not Miso taste. The meat of Japanese Pheasant was very mild and not particular characteristics. It also was resilient. I strongly try it again, it was very delicious.

Jambo garlic

I found and bought the big size garlic at a “Michi-no-eki” (means Station of Road, it is a kind of service area on freeway). I wrapped by aluminum foil and roasted in toaster oven. I hoped it would be like sweet chestnut or potato but was little bit softer than standard garlic and watery.the taste was thinner than standard garlic. It may be necessary to arrange cooking.

Japanese old private house

I have a sightsee trip around Komatsu and Kaga in Ishikawa prefecture the other day. There is a Traditional Craft Village “Yunokuni-no-mori” (means Hot Spring Region’s Forest). There are many dismantled and reconstructed Japanese old private houses, which are used as pavilions for Kaga’s traditional craft pavilions now. From village head’s house to farmer’s small house, buildings employ very thick beams and poles, I was so impressed. For my personal study to remodel my parents’ Japanese old private house, I took so many photographs.
