Precious persimmon tree

The Autumn is the best in all of the seasons.

One of the reasons is

autumn is comfortable season to stay.

For reading, eating, playing...

as the Japanese proverb says

" Autumn is the best season for ~"!

In my case,

the autumn for eating is suit to me.

Because my favourite food is usually using autumn vegetables or fluit.

Especially, I love the salad using persimmon!

(Of course, I love Houtou, previous post, anyway)

You may be able not to imagine that

persimmon is mixed with cucumbers or fish sausages.

But as well as the oranges or apples on salad,

persimmons are great with mayonnaise!!

In fact,

there is enough reason why I like the persimmons so much.

My house is near from my grandfather's house.

It's as close as we can see his house from my house,

and it takes 15 seconds to get to his place!

...Anyway, In his house garden,

there is a big persimmon tree.

When my mom was a child,

it brought so many persimmons.

But the older the tree became,

the fewer a number of persimmons we can gather in.

It is a little bit sad thing

because when I was a little girl,

I could gather them in some small measure

and we could divided a few of them.

oh...me gosh...

...Even though,

Persimmons tree is still alive and fine!

Look at them!!








Our precious persimmon tree gives us fruit this year again!!

Yeah~ X-D!!
This year's persimmons look more delicious than last year.

I cannot to help making my favourite salad soon!

Just the thought of it makes me hungry!

Continuing the previous post,

I recommend the autumn food again.

But this salad is more seasonal than Houtou

because we ordinally can eat persimmons only in autumn.

So if you are interested in pesimmon salad,

please try to make it!

Here is the recipe of "persimmon salad"!

 "persimmon salad"

1) Cut the persimmons into quarter.

     Peer the skins and cut them into about 5-mm slices 

     then quarter (Icho-giri).

2) Cut the cucumbers into 2 pieces.                               Cut them into about 5-mm slices.

3) Cut fish sausages into about 3-mm slices.

4) Put all of the ingredients in the bowl and mix them with salt and pepper. (You can add the salt and pepper later)

5) Put the mayonnaise and mix them again.

                                                       6) Serve them over the dish and ...completion! 

( If the persimmons are less sweet, you had better put a little bit sugar.  And also if you put the flesh cream, it makes the taste milder.)
