Saury is the fish which tells Japanese
people that autumn has come. It is the fattiest and tastiest in autumn. The
best season to get saury is during autumn. When we grill it and then eat it
with grated radish and sudachi ( a kind of Japanese citrus) or sliced lemon, it
tastes wonderful.
I heartily felt autumn has come when I ate
it yesterday for the first time in this season. I think the four seasons are
distinct in our country, that’s why we value the sense of each season; we also
appreciate it in Japanese dietary culture.
Recently Japanese dietary culture has been
Americanized and Japanese people, especially the young ones, tend to love
Americanized food: hamburger, fried chicken, pizza and so on. We can eat
strong-flavored dishes for 24 hours. They are delicious, easy to eat and not so
expensive and so, we become accustomed to strong taste before we knew it.
“Washoku “ (Japanese traditional food)
was listed as a world heritage and is appreciated by foreign people but
locals patronize fast food nowadays.
Japanese traditional foods are good and
healthy , moreover they look sophisticated and have the great sense of season.
I want to value Japanese traditional dietary culture even though it is a little
troublesome to prepare and it takes a long time to cook. I also want to keep
the idea in appreciating the sense of season in the food, and as a good example
of this is the feeling we get when we eat saury in autumn.
value the sense of each season; we also
