I went to the Odawara Plum Festival (Sogabessho Plum Grove) on the only sunny Sunday during the three consecutive holidays the other day.
Right now was the best time to see them, and the white plum blossoms were shining in the sunlight. Among the many white plum trees, there was also a red plum tree, and the red color was even more beautiful.
Mt. Fuji and the mountains of Hakone were visible in the distance, and the contrast with the plum grove was truly splendid.
There are many professional photographers with tripods and telephoto cameras.
I tried to be conservative. . .
There are many festivals and events. Yabusame, calligraphy dance, etc.
When I was walking through the plum grove, I smelled a delicious scent, and when I went there, I saw an old man and an old lady making rice cakes using a pestle and mortar.
There were three types of kinako, red bean paste, and grated radish, and there was a large queue.
Line up without hesitation and purchase.
I had a freshly made rice cake while looking at the plum blossoms.
When I tried it with the tea I had just brought, this was perfect! !
I was interested in how black tea goes well with any food.
