On New Year's Day, I tend to fall asleep immediately after eating, but ... … Isn't it too early yet?

【Making miso】 The other day, I witnessed the making of miso. There were people making miso for their own eating, and it was a small gathering of local Adult and children from the nursery school. At the nursery school in Nishiokoppe Village, vegetables are grown in the field. Some of the crops we grew this year were soybeans. "Miso is made from soybeans, isn't it?" "What else is made of soybeans?" Picture book while reading Combined with our own experience, we think about soybeans and miso. How to get started Crush the soybeans that have been boiled beforehand. Put the soybeans in the mincer When you turn the handle around, the beans become a paste. There are also those who hold down the foundation of the mincer Turning the steering wheel is also a very force-intensive task. The little makers crush the beans with great force and effort. Mix salt and glue, mix in soybeans Throw the miso dama you made into the barrel. The beans that were shiny and sparkling Over the course of about an hour and a half, it became smoother. From the time you make miso to the time you eat it It would take more than six months. In the gentle mellow aroma of soybeans Do you want to keep it until next year? Or so I thought. One of the students brought us the miso we had prepared last year, so we all had miso soup. For me, it was a matter of course to buy miso. It makes me realize that I have the option of "creating" by myself. For the miso prepared this year Let them get a good night's sleep until next year. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Miso making #Miso #Tezukuri #Nursery school #Soybean #Field #Tree education #Miso soup

Hi all! It is Teshikaga Town in Eastern Hokkaido. Winter in Teshikaga is a harsh place where the temperature drops below -20°C. However, this cold creates a clear air and a spectacular view. In the early morning, water vapor in the air sticks to the trees and turns into ice, and countless stars can be seen in the night sky. Healing your cold body at "Kawayu Onsen".

This is the Scene of Lake Onneto most recently (12/20). There is snow on the surface of the lake, but if you brush off the snow with a brush, frozen trees and ice bubbles will appear. * As I told you last time, it is very dangerous to walk on a frozen lake. For details on how to get to the lake in winter, please see the link below (Tourist Association website). https://www.town.ashoro.hokkaido.jp/kanko/spot/onneto_area/spot-13.html...

Hello! Today, I would like to introduce a little bit of the autumn and winter scenery of Shakotan. When the summer season of June ~ August ends, the number of customers drops sharply in Shakotan, but for those who want to go sightseeing slowly and calmly rather than the crowded summer season ~ we recommend sightseeing after September. If the weather is good and the sun is out, it is not as Squid as the summer season, but you can see the beautiful color of the sea of Shakotan Roux. In front of the cape, pampas grass shines, and there is also an autumn scenery such as a larch highway like a movie location and a landscape with silos. Also, in winter, the waves crashing against the rocks are so beautiful that they are sometimes compared to ink paintings. Sometimes a cat greets you in front of an old stone warehouse in the port, and I hope you can enjoy the scenery of Shakotan not only in the summer season.

Hello! This is the Shakotan Tourism Association. 2024 is just around the corner! Speaking of Shakotan Shakotan we tend to focus on the color of the sea in the Roux and above all, the taste of summer "sea urchin", but in fact, from autumn to winter, seafood such as Haliotis, cod, monkfish, yellowtail, soy, pretend, hokke, etc. are also Landings many. Why don't you enjoy Haliotis sashimi and hot pot with ≪tansui≫ a Local Sake made with Shakotan water? "Autumn and winter are good, come once, Shakotan".

【Snow-covered Miya Forest】 Over the course of a few days, the depth of the snow increased in the Miya Forest. While assisting the tree education project promoter, I took a short walk in the Miya Forest. I walk, drenched in snow, burying my feet in boots. If I were alone, I would only look at my feet. When I looked up after being called out, I found a bud of flowers and leaves. It has sprouted and is waiting for the long winter to pass. A gaping hole in the trunk. I wonder if anyone lives there, or if they did. I was told that the reason why the Todo pine tree is cracking is because of the "freeze". The water in the tree freezes and expands, causing the trunk to crack. It is said that when a crack appears in the trunk, a clear sound reverberates throughout the forest. Walk next to the deer's footprints Pick up fruits and flowers that fall on the snow. The snow-covered towns seen from a slightly higher place was also my favorite view. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Winter #Snow #Snow #Miyanomori #Kiiku #Kobushi #Yachidamo #Todomatsu #Shika
