The weeping willow

I went driving and got lunch in such a lovely autumn fine day yesterday. On the way I stopped at the station of the road to buy fresh vegetables. I got yatsugashira and zuiki. They are both yatsugasgira plants! Did you know ?


Then I parked a car and walked around the town. There was a fine big willow weeping. I wonder how old it is! I gaze it for a moment because I recently never see such a gorgeous weeping willow around me.

  1. Good morning☀
    I don’t know there.
    When I married to my husband, I lived in Toyama,so I first knew zuki.
    I’m not good at zuki.

  2. I like both “yatsugashira” and “zuiki”.
    Before, I used to get it from my friend several times.
    The vinegared food of “zuiki” to buy at a store is expensive.
    Your drive was meaningful, wasn’t it?
    By the way,
    There is a row of “Hanamizuki” in my neighborhood.
    I found some of the leaves in it turned red.
    Due to the recent temperature difference I wonder that Hanamizuki felt autumn came?

    1. I cooked vinegar zuiki and cooked yatsugashira with radish, carrot and mushrooms in a pan. It seems like grandmothers’ cooking today!

  3. Yeah, I know “yatsugashira” and “zuiki”.
    “Yatsugashira” is giant taro and “zuiki” is its stem.
    Because my wife’s parents house make and harvest a lot of taro, those are supplied to our house every year.
    There are one or two “Yatsugashira” in it. In addition, “zuiki” is also supplied. I like taro and “yatsugashira”, but not good at “zuiki”.

    By the way, today I pruned the trees of chinese quince of my garden. This year, chinese quince of my house was a bad crop and the fruit was nothing completely. Such a thing was the first time.

    1. Oh…it’s so sorry for the poor harvests of your Chinese quinces. It seems strange during summer not so much sunshine or heat as well for the fruits.
