Takuan of this year has come!

This photo is "Takuan", a kind of Japanese traditional pickles, pickled Japanese radish.

Since I came to this place I've never bought Takuan at shops, every winter some friends give their homemade Takuan.

They are all Takuan, but the color and the taste are different, I always enjoy eating thinking of the person who made it.

Probably this year I'll get one or two more. I'm looking forward to getting them.

Anyway today's breakfast was, homemade TAKUAN, and homemade YUZUKOSYOU (do you remember?) and mushrooms soup and Mochi (mushrooms and Mochi are also homemade of my friends.)

I'm happy to surround by such homemade things, they make me warm, though we have a really cold winter.
