Hydrangeas are beginning to bloom Hydrangeas, the flower that symbolizes the rainy season, are starting to bloom across Gokasecho 🤗✨ (Photo: Kuwanochi area) From pale blue to deep blue, pink and purple… Their round shapes draped in refreshing colors look utterly charming 🥰 The lacecap hydrangeas also show a delicate beauty, like quiet sparklers 😌 We saw many bushes that haven’t bloomed yet, so they should continue to delight us for a while ✨ Rain is forecast again from tomorrow, but isn’t viewing hydrangeas dotted with raindrops a rather poetic pleasure 😆? This season can easily bring people down, so let’s find small joys and keep our spirits up 💪✨

On this day, the gluttonous Kawanishi was invited by his usual sweet Aroma to visit Mr. @suwa_clover. The person who spoke on the day was Mr. Komatsu, the owner of the store. It seems that it has been about 10 years since I first started clover in this area. In the beginning, Mother was the cashier, and Mr. Komatsu seemed to be a specialist in making it. Now, it seems that he is doing everything by himself. When I entered the store, I was most surprised by the variety of cookies!! There are so many kinds of cookies. From the point of view of cookie lover Kasai, it's 🍪🎶 the perfect time When I asked why, I got a Kiss! "The reason is that I like cookies!! The words are so wonderful that time stops, doesn't it? You don't 🤣 🍪 have to tell me that cookies are made by cookie-loving shopkeepers Tarts are also recommended, but cookies are also recommended!! There are also message cookies, and it seems that there are many people who are shy and not good at conveying their feelings to others, and many people pre-order large quantities instead of message cards when they retire! And most of all, "Original Cake"! As you can see from Clover's Home page, Original the beauty of the cake!! It's so beautiful that it's a shame to eat it!! Reservations are required, but if you have a caricature or photo, we can make it to order! How about the only Original cake in the world!? Finally, just here, drip coffee is a completely Original coffee exclusively for clover cakes, which is made by a friend of the owner, Mr. Komatsu, who selects the coffee that matches Clover's cake! If you want coffee that is not served anywhere else, it is ☕ a must!! ◎ clover 📍 4-10-21 Kogan-dori, Suwa City ☎ 0266-57-0374 ◎ Business hours : Friday, Saturday, Sunday 10:30~18:00 ◎ Regular holiday : Monday, Tuesday, Water, Thursday ◎ Car parking lot: About 4 cars in front of the store ◎ Home page : https://suwa-clover.com//

Making seabed Aged wine on a sunken ship|Special tour Held in in Higashi-Izu and Irisawa! Hello, I'm Hokule'a Shonan! This time, we successfully held in 😊 our special project, "Making Aged Wine on the Sea Floor in Sunken Ships" This time, the wine was sunk in a sunken ship at a depth of -24 meters in water in Irisawa in Higashi-Izu. In fact, it is said that the origin of "seabed Aged wine" is an old wine that was accidentally discovered in a sunken ship. The swaying waves, the quiet environment, the shading and the constant water temperature created an ideal aged environment for the wines. We Reproduction the "Submarine Cellar" this time! The specially prepared bottles were sealed with sealing wax and the carefully prepared wine was transported to the sea. The space inside the wreck is "just the right size" as if it was prepared for this wine. The scenery peeking out from the side was truly fantastic, and it was a scenery that made me feel somewhat "romantic". Thank you to everyone who participated on this day! In particular, There is a 🍷✨ to Mr. Kobayashi of Hiratsuka's wine bar Binot, who has given us a great deal of cooperation from the planning stage this time The wine will be raised six months later, in December. At this year's Christmas party, a special one that has been quietly Aged on the seabed will appear in front of you. What does it taste like? I can't stop being excited! At Hokule'a Shonan, it will not end with "just a diving experience" from now on. We would like to propose a "little special sea trip". ▼Special thanks Instagram @shobuzawa_diving (Irisawa Diving Center) @winestore_sakae_binot (Wine Bar Binot) Information on upcoming tours and events will be introduced on the official Instagram and blog from time to time, so be sure to check it out! #SeaAgedWine #UnderwaterCellar #WineDive #OceanAging #WreckDive #HokuleaShonan #DiveJapan #UniqueExperiences #WineLovers #UnderwaterAdventure

Ume Juice and Umeboshi Making On a crisp summer day today (June 19), the red, white, and pink azaleas welcomed us cheerfully at Kuraokakurara. The eldest children from Kuraoka Nursery School and first graders from Kuraoka Elementary gathered to make ume juice and umeboshi.🤗 The children had harvested plenty of fresh ume at the Kuraoka district orchard the day before.😳💕 Under the guidance of the neighborhood’s “ume expert,” who lives in the Kuraoka area, everyone packed the prepared ume into jars. They will take the jars back to school, turn them over every day, and let them develop until the juices rise.💪 When the red shiso season arrives, they will move on to the next step.💡 It sounds delightful.🥰 It seems the children, now junior ume experts, also took some ume home, so they will likely enjoy processing them at home while passing on what they learned to their families.🤩✨
