'Tis Spring! Acacia flowers!
この戸倉上山田温泉の真ん中に千曲画が流れています。堤防の内側に入れば川辺の別な世界になります。今日は我が息子達を連れて、川辺へ冒険しました。アカシアの木は花がちょうど咲いていました。
信州は本当に自然で恵まれて、嬉しいです。
板長がこのアカシアの花を天ぷらでお客様に出すので、少し採ってきました。旬の味できっと美味しいでしょう。
The Chikuma River runs through the center of our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada. If you cross over the levee and enter the river 'zone', it feels like a separate universe. With the rustling sound of the wind through the reeds and gurgling sound of the river, you can easily forget the hussle and bussle of the surrounding town.
Yesterday I took our sons down to the river. The acacia trees are in bloom now and the air was filled with the sweet scent emanating from the white blossoms. We picked a few to take back to our chef here at Kamesei. Acacia flowers taste fabulous served as tempura. Our guests for the next few days are in for a treat!
