at least once a week.
You will know exactly what the season is
by looking at what are being sold at the market.
Summer is almost here!!
Love the cute zucchini collection
of Nomura Plantation Farm, the stall I always stop by!!
I made pickles with these zucchinis,
they were just so fresh and delicious.
Have you ever heard of a Malva verticillata?
It probably has different names but
I could only find its botanical name.
In Japanese this vegetable is called okanori
which means nori (seaweed) on land.
It smells like nori when heated,
how awsome!!
Also, they had lemon basils which smell like lemon
and cinnamon basils which smell like cinnamon!!
You just have to pour hot water to the basils
and it becomes a fresh herb tea with a
relaxing aroma.
Everytime I visit the market,
I find things that I have never seen before!!
週に一度は宮川朝市に出かけます。
お店に並んでいるものを見れば
季節がよくわかります。
夏はすぐそこまで来ていますね！！
大好きな野村農園の出店には
かわいいズッキーニが並んでいました。
ピクルスにしたら、
新鮮で本当においしかった！！
「おかのり」をご存知でしょうか。
火であぶったり、茹でるとのりの香りがする
野菜です。そんな野菜があったなんて。
そして、レモンの香りがするレモンバジル
シナモンの香りのシナモンバジル、
それぞれ、お湯を足すだけで
おいしいフレッシュハーブティーに変身します。
朝市に足を運ぶ度に
新しい何かに出会えるんです！！
okanori
lemon basil
cinnamon basil
