The deep red petals and the water droplets reflecting the light are fantastic.
The leaves, which look dark green when wet with rain, are also very beautiful.
The photo was taken on September 18, 2021, in Chiba Prefecture.

This is a soup stock pack of Dried bonito.

Even if you drink the soup stock only, it is very delicious.

Dashi is indispensable in Japanese cooking.
I would like to continue to make dishes that bring out the flavor of dashi.

"Shirasu" is a young fish, such as sardines.
There is a culture of eating it with a fine net and dipping it in soy sauce.

It is a kind of "Sashimi".

It is delicious with a sticky texture and the sweetness of raw fish.
