Hi, everyone. How's it going?
In japan, we can feel the coming of summer.
It is getting warmer and warmer these days.
There is a haiku, Japanese poem wrote about early summer.
Sodo Yamaguchi, a haiku poet wrote the haiku.
"Me-ni-ha-Aoba, Yama-Hototogisu, Hatsu-gatsuo"
This haiku describes the early summer from three senses.
Eyes, we can see beautiful fresh green leaves.
Ears, we can hear the sing of little cuckoos.
Tongue, we can taste the first skipjack of the year.
Like this haiku, Japanese people have valued "shun" of food.
Shun is the word for one's best season in Japanese.
Today, let us introduce the "shun" food of this season with recommended table coordinate.
This is "hatsu-gatsuo" from the Sodo's haiku. The first katsuo (skipjack) of this year. Japanese people like to eat katsuo by "tataki." Tataki is a cooking way. Grill the surface of katsuo, and pound katsuo.
Since katsuo has beautiful red color, it fit jet-black slate board SUZURI from studio GALA. Tiny plate (Mamezara) from Azmaya is the best plate for pouring soy sauce.

Wakatake-ni is boiled and seasoned takenoko (bamboo shoot) and wakame (seaweed) . We call those food "Deaimono", which get along with each other and have same "shun" season. Wakatake-ni is the representative deaimono of this season.
Fresh color bamboo shoot fit simple white square plate. The beauty of Arita porcelain white make wakatake-ni stand out. For making a stylish coordinate, we put tin chopstick rest MOON from Nousaku and top-coated oval chopsticks from Wajima Kirimoto.
