Tokyo introduction

It's a boiled spear squid.

Cut and eat like this.
Before cutting, remove the legs and pull out the thin back bone.
Also, save the eyes and brain at the base of the foot.

It's delicious to eat with soy sauce or ponzu sauce.
It's also delicious sprinkled with mayonnaise and chili peppers.

In Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, there are sweetfish that do not fall into the sea.

This sweetfish is small even when it grows and is called small sweetfish.

Ayu is my favourite.

I will eat tempura today.

A type of Japanese sweets, wagashi.

Color the white bean paste and make it into various shapes.

Things of nature and tools used by people.

Sweets are also full of culture and playfulness.

I had leftover asparagus in the fridge.
Now, how shall we eat?
I thought, and when I was looking at the fridge, there was also cheese.

So, I grilled the asparagus and grilled the cheese together and ate it.

This is delicious too.

One of Japanese sweets.
Dumplings are eaten with sweet soy sauce syrup.
Ever since I was a child, I have loved the combination of grilled dumplings and sweet soy sauce syrup.
