A bit of cooking

先日仕込んでおいた新玉ねぎの甘酢漬けと胡瓜と鯖缶で簡単和物。地味な絵だけどとても美味しく出来ました！
Sweet and sour onion I made a few days ago, mixed with cucumber slices and canned mackerel. Pic doesn’t appeal much but it was really simple and delicious!

Shishamo smelt from Kanedai Oono Store in Hokkaido

Real smelt, not capelin you see at supermarkets. And male. Goddess of owl sent from down turned willow leaves into this fish at famine. It’s written “willow leaves” in Japanese originated from the Ainu as based on this folklore.
北海道のカネダイ大野商店のししゃも。スーパーでよく見かけるカペリンではありません。しかも雄。天から遣わされたフクロウの女神が柳の葉から作って人々を飢えから救ったという。柳葉魚。アイヌ語のスス=柳、ハム=葉、が変化してししゃもとなったそう。
