We might see above, a sweet rice cake from 金沢. White ones are also in the box, tastes better for Mei-Shun. Both are due by tomorrow when Shin comes back from Kyoto. They have consumed around half, ready to put the rest into a freezer: nice frozen pops would be served after breakfast, not a bath at night. The wife makes it a new rule, enjoying smooth melting in mouth.
Here Mei-Shun keeps lovely bags of rice cracker. These sparrows came from Osaka where Shin visited on business — 2 weeks have already passed since he brought them home. Compared to sweets from 能登 and 名古屋, they taste best for longer until August. And they are able to work as our staple food, simply mentioned by name. Now which would she choose tonight?
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.
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.
They 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?
Mei-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.
So 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.
Meow, 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?

Thanks 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.
Mei-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.
