my moon-viewing sweet time

in japan, some people have moon-viewing partys.
they eat rice cake balls and moon shaped sweets.

this picture is of a rabbit moon sweet.
japanese can see rabbit in the moon.

my favorite season

i think autumn is the best season to eat and read books.
and it's the sleepiest season.
because the weather is mild and the air is cool.

my cuppa tea

my english teacher made me an authentic english tea.

i didn't know that the milk goes in the cup first and that you can dip biscuits in the tea!

i like it!!

my summer treat

this oyster was the biggest and most delicious that i have ever eaten.
it was very milky and fresh it was like no other oyster i've ever eaten.
it made me so happy.

my favorite tea

green tea is very popular in japan.

tea originally came from china., but now it's different way to make it.

green tea is a very healthy drink.

regular drinkers have lower risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.

most of japanese green tea is grown in shizuoka.

even some elementary schools there have tea come out of their taps!!

summer is the best season to drink cool green tea!

my melon

this is "yubari" melon from Hokkaido.

i think it's the most delicious melon. it's so sweet and juicy.

in summer, japanese usually eat watermelon but i prefer this melon.

my first chai

i made chai which is Indian spiced milk tea with my english teacher.
she loves India and drinking tea.
it is easy to make. we need some milk, spices, sugar, water and black tea.
we put all of them into sauce pan and boiled them.
we used cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
you can put many different spices in. anything you like.
it was too spicey for me so i put in a lot of sugar. that became perfect taste for me.
i know i have a very sweet tooth!
