Meals are a part of life, but sometimes I like to try something different

Zenzai at Suzukake

Suzukake's zenzai with a bell on top!

Umegae mochi from Dazaifu

It goes well with matcha green tea.

Afternoon tea at Hotel Hyatt

The power of sweets will cheer you up. Gourmet travel is also good.

Gourmet mood song

I miss the fragrance of the oak leaves that wrap up the glutinous rice of Hakumyo, but I may never get tired of it.

Masaoka Shiki

Translation from the modern language

The aroma of the kashiwa leaves that wrap the pure white rice cake is nostalgic, and you will never get tired of eating it.

(Taken from a tanka poem textbook)

At the time, Masaoka Shiki was fighting tuberculosis and could not eat

The aroma may remind him of the taste.
