Sakura Sakura Sakura


There is absolutely nothing that can replace beauty of Sakura blossom of Japan.  I saw the news of those Sakura in Tokyo are fully bloomed today.  Japanese adore Sakura trees for many centuries that we planted them everywhere in the country.  

The life of Sakura blossom is very short; about one week, but their beauty is so striking, every Japanese person await for this perfect day or the night to party under the tree for a whole year.  I made this Sakura rice today for my good memory of the party calls "Hanami".


今日は東京で桜が満開だというニュースを聞いたので、昨日シティースーパーで見つけた桜茶で桜ご飯を炊いた。桜の塩漬けと昆布を入れて炊いただけのご飯だが桜餅の風味がしてとても嬉しかった。海外にいると日本がどれだけその美しい自然と国土に恵まれているかという事をあらためて感じる。
