北信では毎年の冬の楽しみの1つは野沢菜です。親戚から野沢菜の葉っぱを頂きましたのでこうやって一日、二日間で干して、うちの女将社長の味で漬けます。お茶を飲みながら野沢菜を食べながら友達とお話しする時が長野の生活の幸せの一つですね。
Here in Northern Nagano, one thing we look forward to every winter is nozawana, our local preserved vegetable specialty. One of our relatives brought us a bunch of nozawana leaves. Here they are pictured being put out in the sun for a couple of days to dry out. Then Mom here will season them with her secret recipe to preserve them for the winter. Sipping tea and munching on nozawana while talking to friends is one of the pleasures of living in Nagano.
