Went to relatives for New Year's greetings. It is a treat served for lunch. Everything was handmade. The taste was also outstanding.

On December 17th, we made shimenawa for the New Year with the children.
We have been preparing by drying the rice harvested in August.
It seems that the hard work has paid off in the earnest eyes of the children.

I pickled my yuzu, red turnips, and frozen persimmons. It is the autumn food itself. My body is happy.

In the cold sky, a single rose in the park was blooming lonely. I was fascinated by its beauty.

Yuzu is in season, but do you know the demon yuzu, also known as lion yuzu? It bears the scary names of demons and lions, and is about 10 times the size of ordinary yuzu, 2~3 times the size of a grapefruit, and has a presence that is about the size of a small watermelon! When it is fruiting, it is said that it is so large that the branches bend.
