An exception in Korea

This was the most disgusting food I had in Korea. They are cut and served raw. Even though they are cut, they keep moving forever till you put them in soy sauce. We were three, but I was the only brave one who ate it. After coming back to Japan, I found that this was the first picture I took in Korea. Unconciously, I might have known that I was going to eat it later. Needless to say, all other food were amazingly delicious. This was the only exception.

これがこの夏韓国で食べたもっとも気色悪い食べ物です。刺身として切って出されますが、やつらは切られても生きているのです。醤油をつけるまではずーっと、うにょうにょと活発に動き続けます。友達と三人の旅でしたが、これを口に入れたのは私一人。旅が終わって写真を見たら、韓国で最初に撮った写真がこれでした。運命でしょうか。他の食べ物は文句なしに美味しかったのですよ。ほんとに。

Making Umeboshi

今年はある所で中粒の梅をたくさん取らせていただいたので、お弁当に入れるのにちょうどいい、かわいい梅干しをたくさん作りました。雨続きで土用干ができずに、お盆まで待ってやっと干し上げ、今年は塩抜きもしてみました。美味です。嬉しいなあ。

I picked a lot of ume this year, and made umeboshi. They are not too big, not to small, good size for my lunch box. It rained almost every day this summer, I had to wait till obon to dry them. Tastes good!
