Be in Good Health ( Hojuji Temple)

When I was going back to my home, I found the signbored.

It said "Be in a good health with raddish" 大根炊き！！

I stopped by for eating it because of rarely event..



It must have been boiled long time.




To eat raddish, I had to pray with 700yen..
Then, I can get ticket to exchange the meal.......







It's really old Japaese style cooking, but the meals which made by this is the best!!

It was nice time and got lucky and good health from this raddish!

Making Japanese Sweets

I feel this year is colder than last year....
Every day, it's really hard to wake up and get out from my bed..........


Yesterday, Mountains in Kyoto was covered by snow.
I wonder if I could see Golden Temple(Kinkaku-ji)!!

It must have been beautiful..



By the way, have you ever eaten a Japanese sweet??

It's totally different from other country's..

Common ingredients for Japanese sweets are rice flour, azuki (red beans), and sugar.

Butter and milk are rarely used in that cooking, so Japanese sweets tends to be lower in fat than other swets such as cake.


Japanese sweets can be very sweet, so it goes well with strong green tea!!



In Kyoto, we can enjoy making it in some places!!




first wad up ingredient of the Japanese sweet


arrange its shape whatever we want


This time, I made its shape like a flower




It's not really difficult and it was first time to cook Japanese sweets

Why the Geisya makes up white?

Happy New Year!!

Do you know why the maiko makes up white??

The reason why they do is because of their roots.

Maiko was appeared around 450 years ago in Japan. At that time, there was no electric and candles were used to light up houses.

In the houses, even though candles had fired, it was not enough to light up anything..

Then, maiko conceiced making up white color to show their faces clearly!!
