This picture is the landscape of the rice field,
at the left side, you can see our guest house far away.
Do you like Japanese white-rice?
I believe that Japanese rice is the best all over the world! Sweet & Tasty.
Chonan-town is famous for good rice producing area.
Now, Rice-seeds (called ‘Inaho’ in Japanese) are well growing up.
In a few weeks, they will be cut and dried,
and we can taste new-rice in early September.
Please don’t miss the new-rice (only in the autumn),
which is very very tasty, the most delicious!
We Japanese specially call this season’s rice `Gin-Shari’ (Silver-Rice).
Next, let’s go around walking.
In a few minutes walking, you can enjoy this landscape, ‘Field of Lotus’
The above picture in the late afternoon (No flowers).
The flowers of Lotus only bloom in the early morning,
So, please try to get up early and enjoy flowers.
You would enjoy their good smell, too.
Do you know that the roots of Lotus-flower (called ‘Renkon’ in Japanese)
can be eaten? Have you ever tasted them?
Very delicious! After flowers in Summer,
their roots under the water will be cut during from Autumn to Winter.
In Japan, many variations of Renkon cooking,
I ‘ll introduce in the future at this blog.
Bye!
