Oenothera was blooming beautifully.

It is pronounced "Matsuyoi gusa". Another name for it is "Tsukimi sou".
"Tsukimi sou" is written in Chinese characters as "月見草" meaning viewing the moon.
It is a beautiful name.

On this day, too, the yellow flowers were beautiful against the blue sky.

In Japanese, it is called "Hama dai" or "Onaga dai".
At the supermarket, I found a large, beautiful Etelis, so I bought it.

First, cut out the meat.

Peel off the skin of one half and leave the skin on your
Pour boiling water over the skin and cool it with cold water.

Instead of using "Wasabi" today, we will use "Yozu Kosho".
"Yozu Kosho" is a mixture of citrus peel and chili peppers.

Etelis' "Sashimi" is complete.

Cook the bony parts of the fish in Etelis.

Add cooking sake, mirin, and soy sauce.

Cook the lotus root together.

Etelis "Aradaki" is ready to serve.

This is the Tatsumi Bridge in Koto-ku, Tokyo.
Can you see the AP+6.0m on the right side of the bridge?

AP is one of the standards for the water level in Tokyo Bay, and it refers to the Arakawa Peil.
This bridge tells passing ships that it is 6 meters higher than the Arakawa Peil as an indicator.
