フキ味噌 Butterbur Shoot Miso

日本語のレシピ、最後の方に　あります。

 

 

What is the first thing to tell you that the spring has come ?

 

For me, it is the  the wind blowing from the south on one sunny day, 

A tiny red wild flower called "Hotokenoza" in the field, 

A few pretty plum flowers that have just bloomed.

One more thing that makes my heart beat with excitment is

"Fukinotoh / Japanese butterbur shoot.

 

 
A box of vegetables and fruit sent by Mr. Takahashi from Shizuoka prefecture is like a fortune bag for me.

（The background picture of the website of my cooking class is the vegetables that he sent to me.　　I change the photos according to the season.   Check it once a while to enjoy Japanese seasonal vegetables.  http://kurinascooking.la.coocan.jp/　）

I can't get to know what are inside  till I opened the box each month.   

So it is an exciting moment to remove the packing tape from the cardboard box.  

His vegetables are so precious for me as they are raised very natural way. 

They are different from organic vegetables, which are often raised with organic fertilizer, involving weeding of unwanted grass and also sometimes killing of unwanted insects.

Every year I see my first Fukinotoh of the year in the box of Takahashi's vegetables either late January or early February.

 

Just a few pieces of them are wrapped in the newspaper.

"Oh, my goodness !"  I cannot stop uttering this word when their site popped into my eyes.

They are tiny, light green,  roundish, and look very delicate and fragile.

 

Fukinotoh tells us the spring is around the corner even though it is still very cold in the morning and night, and it absolutely delights me .

 

Fukinotoh bud, has not opened yet.

 

I am showing you how I enjoy the first taste of spring today.
