It's a little cooler in the mornings and evenings, but I wonder how long this intense heat will last...
This time, it is the 14th season of the 24 solar terms.
I will talk about "Shosho" .
What is Treating Heat?
Shosho refers to the period from August 23rd to September 7th.
Although this is classified as autumn in the lunar calendar, the heat is still continuing in modern times.
Seasonal ingredients
The seasonal foods for the end of summer are sudachi and grapes.
Sudachi citrus fruits harvested at this time are fragrant, sour, and have a great flavor.
The fresh sweetness of grapes contains a lot of carbohydrates that are easily absorbed by the body and also seems to have the effect of relieving fatigue.
It's perfect for the lingering heat of summer.
Ingredients that are considered "autumn flavors" are now in season.
Be careful not to eat too much...!
Seasonal flowers
The flowers of the end of summer are "Celosia" and "Lepidoptera"
Both flowers are reminiscent of autumn and can be found in flower shops from late August.
This is the time of year when summer flowers change into autumn flowers.
Please stop by our flower shop and experience the changing seasons.
What's in Season
A time when typhoons and sudden rains are common.
In order to protect fields from typhoons, festivals are held all over the country to pray for a good harvest.
The Owara Bon Festival in Toyama Prefecture is one of the most famous festivals.
Recently, there has been an increase in major disasters, such as river flooding caused by heavy rain.
Be sure to review your disaster preparedness supplies frequently in preparation for a sudden disaster.
