松茸ご飯 Pine mushroom rice

近所の八百屋さんで松茸を発見！日本の松茸と違って、大きな笠だったので初めなんの茸かわからなかったけど、ふと匂いをかいだらあの素敵な香りが。そして「Pine mushroom」と。Pine。。。ってまつたけやん！！！

日本のより香りが弱いかな〜と思ったけど、お酒をふりかけて置いておくこと３０分、なかなか負けず劣らずのいい香り。
とりあえずやっぱり松茸ご飯とお吸い物を作りました。（本当は土瓶蒸しがよかったけど、さすがに土瓶は持ってない。）

日本の秋の味覚をシアトルでも楽しめるなんて嬉しい♪　ご馳走様でした！


Pine mushroom, I'm not sure how many people know about the mushroom. But it's very very expensive, fancy food in Japan. It has really wonderful flavor. My dad used to pick these mushroom from a forest every Autumn mushroom season. If you bought a pine mushroom, it would cost like 30 bucks and so on! So expensive! The other day, I found the mushroom at one of my favorite veggies and fruits shop in our neighbor, and it was not terribly expensive. Of course, I got them.

I made 松茸ご飯, Pine mushroom rice, and お吸い物 Pine mushroom soup. It was delicious. In addition, I'm so thankful that we can get Japanese autumn foods and taste them here in Seattle :-) That's one of the reason I like Seattle. NOt only foods, we can have many Japanese experience and culture like festivals and
things like that.
