＊Went to have Noodle with Matutake Mushroom＊
Pine-mushrooms "Tricholoma matsutake" we call just *matutake * grow under the red pine-tree
and really costly to buy. In Japan, we especially enjoy the
enchanting aroma as well as the taste. I heard that TV broadcasted about
this special mushroom recently, so unfortunately there were NO stock
for us to buy, all were sold out p-;) But we could enjoy the Noodle with
this mushroom at the restaurant below.
Picture above of the mushroom is from PC site.
And at the restaurant we visited, Lovely Goat was welcomed us;
My husband ordered "Soba noodle"
I ordered *Udon* Noodle;
It can be cooked in various dishes like flavored rice, simple soup and so on, but grilled matsutake mushroom is the best way to enjoy the aroma.
* Pictures taken recently from Rice Paddy *
This is the way of drying rice plant we call "hase-gake"
*Siberian Stonechat* I found;
Thank you so much for stopping by and your sweet comments.
Hope that you all are coping with the virus thing and staying healty ♪

This must be an extraordinary mushroom. I am very fond of chanterelle, funnel chanterelle and porcini mushrooms, which are to be found in the forest around here.
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky for being able to get a dish with these delicious Matsutake!
Lovely bird photos and interesting rice plant drying.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh too bad Matsutake was sold out and you could not buy it. But glad you got to enjoy it at the restaurant :-) Soba and udon noodles with Matsutake look yummy! I agree grilling brings the best aroma and I love grilled mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sceneries from the rice field. I remember hase-gake from my hometown. I always liked seeing them. Looks so peaceful there with pretty birds :-)
Have a wonderful new week, Miyako san! xo
Thank you for sharing the rice harvesting with us. I always enjoy your bird photos!

ReplyDeleteBoth noodles look great, Miyako! Many thanks for sharing with All Seasons the interesting images of drying the rice plant. It looks like a lot of work:)Appreciate your interesting post. We are doing fine here in Texas in our new state and adjusting to the very different weather and humidity here:) Thank you, Jesh
ReplyDeleteThe soups look delicious! I'd never heard of that mushroom before, we don't get too many varieties around here where I live. Lovely photos of the birds!!
ReplyDeleteMiyako - I am always amazed at the variety of birds that you see. Wonderful photos. Glad you could find your mushrooms at the restaurant. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteThose mushroom dishes sound very tasty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and very interesting blog post.
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of the heron and egrets. The Stonechat is a lovely bird. Pretty views of the rice field. The noodle with mushrooms sound delicious! We have seen people looking for mushroom under the pine trees in our neighborhood, not sure what kind of mushroom they were looking for, maybe something similar to your Matutake. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and weekend!
the rice bowls look amazing...perhaps it it time for me to stop and have lunch!!
