  Fall / Winter. I don't have much of an appetite and struggle during summers here. It's always nice to be able to tolerate baking or making hot foods again. I Love nabe and have never gotten into cold soups. This time of year I start making chestnut rice and have been addicted to pears. All the seasonal foods. yum.

  This is a tough question! In autumn, I'm bowled over by the choice of cheap and nutritious produce. I've told you about many of my culinary experiments and experiences. Search for TtoE for my food blogs.

  @TonetoEdo I always enjoy your cooking-related blogs! The recent one you shared about figs reminded me of my Nonna who used to have a fig tree in her backyard. She was a great cook and would make her own jam from them (and various other fruits, too!)

  @genkidesu You say Nonna...so Italian grandma? My Oma, Ukrainian-born Mennonite grandmother, often made soup from seasonal greens. I'm experimenting with Japanese veggies to do whatever-is-available borscht.

  @TonetoEdo Yes, half-Italian on one side of my family and Irish origin on the other! I can only imagine my Italian grandparents would have had a real chuckle at some of the innovative pizza toppings here!

  @helloalissa same! And I don't get the same kind of comfort from cold food on a hot day as I do from hot food on a cold day! Unfortunately though I am allergic (only in recent years) to two of Japan's autumn staples - chestnuts and persimmon!

  This month, May 2025, is abundant with cheap and delicious veggies. The prices of vegetables in Chiba and Saitama area supermarkets are much lower than the preceding winter. May is great for chingensai, komatsuna, and turnips. Right now, there's a bumper crop of nira, too.
