[don't cross the river when you see the rainbow in the morning]

If you cross the river seeing the rainbow in the mornig

you can't come back, because the volume of water of the river increase.

I saw the rainbow when I harvested carrots in the mornig.

when　I lived in London,

I had never seen it.

chrysanth is in season in autumn.

We usually boil it and eat with vinegar,soy sauce.

but as a tea, it's very tasty and beautiful.

I put about 10 petals of chrysanth into hot water,

boil it 2 minutes and flow into a cup without petals,

and put a petal on it.

if you are tired, please add sugar.

We have japanese saying,

"Hyoutan ka ra koma"

which means "The joke has become a reality."

Old days we use "hyoutan" as a cup for japanese sake,

We scoop out inside of "hyoutan"and dry then

put into sake and drink.

They look similar to wood shavings.

The "bonito" is a type of tuna,
but may not be marketed as tuna in many countries.

Bonito flakes are used to make katsuobushi-dashi,
the second most favored type of dashi (Japanese broth) for miso soup.

Bonito flakes are also used for onigiri filling.

Traditionally large chunks of katsuobushi were
kept at hand and shaved when needed with an instrument
similar to a plane turned upside down,

but in the desire for convenience this form of the food
has nearly disappeared.
Katsuobushi, however, retains its status as one of
the primary ingredients in Japanese cooking today.
