Three yuzu fruit are placed in the bath on the winter solstice. The cloth bag of yuzu and the packaged bag of yuzu peel is from Tokyu department store. It was sold in the vegetable section of their basement food department.
The net bag of yuzu is from our neighborhood grocery store. It was sold in the fruit section along with the paper of explanation. Kabocha or Japanese pumpkin is eaten on the winter solstice.
Here are the displays at Tokyu Department Store:

Surprisingly, kabocha appeared in our Nova Scotian local village grocery just around the solstice and we had some baked with our Christmas dinner.
ReplyDeleteI still miss yuzu, mikan, and fresh shiso as well as so many wonderful Japanese foods that are impossible to get here. But -- I am enjoying cranberries. :)
Kabocha is so good I grow my own. Kabocha tempura is the best! It is also good in soup, pie, and croquets.
