寺町仏光寺東へ

芙蓉の木は、前の方から、引き継ぎつつ・・・
枝垂れ櫻は、工房移転に因んで2018年に植え、
あっという間に8年という月日が経っており、
ようやく、本格的な剪定をしてもらいました。
植えた当初、大好きな仏光寺さんの枝垂れ桜から・・
鴨川の枝垂れ桜に繋がっていくような桜道「櫻」に
なれたらな～っと想い、更に、真剣に育てて行きます。

“To the east of Bukkoji Temple in Teramachi”
While continuing to maintain the hibiscus tree…
The weeping cherry tree was planted in 2018 to
coincide with the relocation of the workshop,
and after eight years,
it finally received proper pruning.
When we first planted them, we envisioned them
becoming part of a cherry blossom path that
connects from the weeping cherry trees at
Bukkoji Temple to the weeping cherry trees along
the Kamo River, and we will cherish and nurture
them with that in mind.

This is how fruits are perceived in Japan.
Seasonal fruits are divided into three periods:
“early season,” “peak season,” and “late season.”

• Early season is the first time the fruit is available,
  with a young and light flavor.

• This is the peak season when they are most
  abundant and have the best flavor and taste.

• Late season is when the fruit has passed its
  peak and gradually disappears from store shelves.
  *I’m learning from a teacher at a fruit and
  vegetable market in Kyoto.

日本の果物の捉え方で、今の『柿』は走りです。

旬の果物には「走り」「盛り」「名残」の三つの
時期に分けられます。
・走りは出回り始めの初物の時期で、
若くあっさりとした味わいです。
・そして、盛りは最も多く出回る時期で、
風味がよく味がのっています。
・更に、名残は最盛期を過ぎ、
徐々に店頭から姿を消す果物です。
※京都に移った頃、青果の先生から教わったことです。

Japanese chestnut ”WAGURI” ice cream
Just transfer it to your favorite bowl…
A delightful, cute, and endearing treat
An ice cream you’ll want to hug tightly
和栗のアイスクリーム
好きな器に移しかえるだけで・・・
嬉しく、可愛く、愛おしい、そして、美味しい、です。
ギュッとしたくなるようなアイスクリーム

The coming seasons, autumn and winter,
are important for ice cream, and we strive
to play a supporting role in a wide range
of ways. We also use autumn and winter to
lay the groundwork so that we can take center
stage in spring and summer.

We make ice cream with all our heart.

焼き芋にアイスクリームをのせて・・・
その美味しさは、感動の粋です。
私も、毎年、その一人です。
Roasted sweet potato topped with ice cream…
The taste is simply sublime.
I’m one of those people who enjoys it every year.

洋梨の味わいって・・・
きっと、このフォルムも味わっているように感じます。
曲線美を語られるフルーツ、秋の果実。
The taste of a pear…
I feel like I’m savoring its form as well.
Autumn fruits are often praised for their beautiful curves.

日本を代表する果物の一つ「柿」は、
生でも、干しても、氷菓でも、
秋から冬にかけての滋養に、嬉しい果実。
Persimmons, one of Japan’s representative
fruits, are a delightful fruit for nourishment
from autumn to winter, whether eaten fresh,
dried, or as a frozen dessert.
