A Fukuokan's Notes from Sapporo

A fruit of advanced farming technologies, or just a result of climate change? – I wondered, when I found bamboo sprouts, which are supposed to be a spring vegetable, in a local market today. But it turned out that they are available in Kyushu from October. I just didn’t know that.

 

Although the real winter is still coming, we relished the taste and flavour of spring (very much ahead of the real season!) with Takenoko Gohan.  

 

Today's task was turning the Chinese cabbage upside down so that it can be evenly pickled.

The messy part will come tomorrow...
