August

LONG PEPPER

The summer is at its peak with the history of
Kyoto vegetables that has been around since
the Edo period. It is delicious even if it is
baked, but after all the cooking of the thing
that has been eaten in Kyoto from old days
is excellent. Please try it by all means as it
is convenient to make it and put it in place.
WINTER MELON

Speaking of healthy vegetables in the summer,
winter mochi. The taste itself is not very
distinctive, but it is also a vegetable that you
can enjoy various seasonings, and you can
enjoy both hot and cold sauce such as ankake
and soup. It is a useful vegetable in summer
because it is easy to eat even on hot days.
WATER EGGPLANT

Speaking of summer pickles "water dumplings".
It is a dish that you can enjoy both fresh pickles
and firm braised pickles. It is not suitable for
stir-fry because there is so much moisture in it.
As it is fresh, it is recommended not to cook it
by heating, but by cooking methods such as
salad and pickles.
KOUMIZU PEAR KIKUSUI

One of the representative varieties of red pears,
its shape is short, flat and slightly spherical,
and its skin is yellowish brown. It is a delicious
pear that is characterized by a deep hollow in
the buttocks and is juicy, sweet and strong with
little acidity. The market features are roundabout
from the beginning of August to the beginning
of September.
TOYOMIZU PEAR

It is Akaashi that comes out next to Kosui pear.
It is a large ball and has a spherical shape of
high waist compared with Kosui pear. The flesh
is soft and moist as the name suggests, and it
has a good acidity in the sweetness. The
distribution period is from late August to late
September.
FIGS

I write "no flower" by feeling, but there is no
flower. The red crush in the fruit is the flower
part. Most of the varieties currently grown in
Japan are varieties brought in from the United
States. You can use not only raw food but also
wine simmer and jam, and dried figs etc.
