Sunday, November 13th. “Seasonal Food”
When I first came to Japan, I never paid attention to the certain seasonal food that people eat here. However, I first noticed there is a lot of good food in the fall. I come to like all kinds of seasonal foods. Especially, Saury is really good. These days I heard that the price of saury is going up but I just saw Saury being sold at 100 yen per fish.
All I need is a Shichirin (small grill). I found it on Amazon really cheaply. I’ve seen in old movies people cooking Saury outside their home with a Shichirin but I’ve never seen anyone doing that now. I wonder if I’ll get in trouble if I did that on my balcony? If so, I’ll just go to a big park and do it. I really want to do this. I’ll write a blog about it if I do.
saury – 秋刀魚
seasonal food – 季節の食べ物
