Hanami at Musashino Park (April 1st)


(ICU campus)

I went cherry blossom viewing with my friend at Musashino park. On the way to get there, we stopped by the ICU campus and Nogawa park. The cherry blossoms were all in full bloom and even starting to fall, which is so beautiful. We also found many Gentiana zollingeri (Fude Rindou) flowers blooming at all of the ICU, Nogawa park and Musashino park. We had lunch under one of the cherry blossoms at Musashino park. I made Bento for today and ate it with Sake. We got a little drunken and had nice time viewing the cherry blossoms.

今 日はお花見に行ってきました。ICUも野川公園も武蔵野公園も、どこもたくさんの人でにぎわっていました。桜は満開を通りこして、はらはら花びらが舞い散 りはじめていてとても素敵でした。昨日から仕込んでおいたお弁当をおいしいお酒と一緒にいただきました。久しぶりに日本酒を呑んでほろ酔い気分を存分に楽 しむ ことができました。

Bento for lunch:
Sweeten Soy sauce flavored boiled vegetables,
Chicken meatballs grilled with Welsh onion and green pepper,
Grilled eel rolled with egg in flavor of Japanese honewort and Japanese prickly ash,
Bamboo shoot riceballs.
お弁当の中身は、野菜の煮物、鶏つくねとシシトウの照り焼き風、う巻き卵、筍ご飯のおにぎり。お酒は、広島は金光酒造さんの大吟醸原酒「神のいたずら」をいただきました。これがほんと旨い酒なんです。
