Today is the deadline to order 水無月=minazuki from たねや this year. Well, Shin and Mei-Shun have consumed just 1 of 3 boxes he purchased at 能登里山 Airport last week. They visited that city twice, love halcyon atmosphere there and beautiful sight fairly balanced between the sea and rice paddy. With their petite contribution, rapid recovery is cordially wished.
good taste
Cheer Up のと: 1
Standard水無月=minazuki, meaning current month, calls one of Shin and Mei-Shun’s favorite sweets. Kyoto people enjoy it on June 30th to celebrate safe half an year. Above couple, earnest buff of our ancient capital, followed this custom for a decade. However, the husband brought home the other day a lot of souvenir from 能登 — suffering from a serious earthquake on New Year’s Day.
Funny Fungi
StandardThey always comes between Mei-Shun’s teeth including space to accommodate artificial Ame-chans; simmered enoki mushroom flavored by soy sauce, fried bean sprout with tonkatsu sauce, are meant. Shin fairly loves them, who force his wife to use brush and dental floss afterward. Darling, didn’t Mr. Danone Caesar see anything in mom’s mouth this morning, did he?
Full of Fruits
StandardMei-Shun is pleased looking at her refrigerator Mr. Cuby. Cherry from elder sister Y, melon Shin nicely brought home, 2 kinds of oranges she ordered and apple purchased at a supermarket. Kiwi sauce had already been consumed with yogurt, a bottle of green 梅 plum jam followed this morning. When she gave some of above vermillion jewelry to mom-in-law, received another melon.
Final and Fine
StandardSo we are at the end of solar May. Heavy rainfall from early morning made Mei-Shun sing on Ms. Piano moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven. She and Mikan-chan have an appointment with Mr. Crunchy in the evening, wishing the last dance on him … yes, they did well in a field like rice paddy! And she saw acceptable numbers on a scale after coming home.
Neighbor to Next
StandardMeow, mom’s favorite tea shop, 3-minute walk from the nearest station, will be closed soon. More precisely, one of branches whose headquarters is located in Tsuchiura. Another store in Tsukuba came to an end a few years before. On the other paw, supermarkets she goes for daily shopping are in Ami Town. Which places shall we visit to purchase 新茶 in 2025?

Beautiful Bins
StandardThanks a million, Shin. He kindly gave Mei-Shun a box of compote on Mother’s Day. The wife always wonders if she deserves it, while full of gratitude to have an excellent family including mom-in-law. She received a pot of variegated carnation from her son via daughter-in-law. And the latter became a messenger again between a mother and a son, with a bowl of red-bean rice.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardMei-Shun did not purchase her preferred 柏餅 and 粽 this year. She makes weekly order for foods delivered on Friday, while it was one of our national holidays. That forced her to gave up asking a superb 和菓子=Japanese sweets maker to send their products on the same weekday. However, gentle Shin brought home above saying the blue box is all for his wife.
Bye-bye Blue
StandardMei-Shun finally put away above stove guy into 押入れ closet. What does he carry on the head, do you kind 517 followers wonder? It is a gift box from a chocolate company via one of credit card. She ordered it last year, while totally forgot when. And the number of ice cream cups surprised her: 14, layered by a paper holder. Well, 2 nephews living nearby would help Shin and his wife.
Cloudy Clear
Standard… it is today, our fiscal 2024 starts from Monday. Dad brought home above on weekend, let mom feel happy to see it after decades perhaps: they visited Okinawa for the first time together just after marriage. She loves 泡盛 distilled sake there, while took this tofu product as a bit weird. Now grown up enough, it is taken great accompanied by 鵜戸詣 from 宮崎 via kind Professor M.
