Discover Autumn Flavors

The instructor will write a blog about his journey to discover the flavors of autumn, as well as the autumn Sushi Lab. menu.

The other day I went to Tanba City, Hyogo Prefecture to pick chestnuts and black edamame beans.

I went to Fukuda Tourist Chestnut Orchard to pick chestnuts. It is famous for its large chestnuts, and the number of visitors is increasing every year. Apparently, a total of 1,000 people came during the recent three-day weekend.

If the same variety is planted, they will all be gone at the same time, so by planting different varieties, they have devised a way to allow people to enjoy chestnut picking for as long as possible.

The chestnuts I picked this time were the "Ginyose" and "Ishizuki" varieties.

Both are very large, measuring between 4L and 5L, making them the largest chestnuts in the world.

The next place I visited was Tabuchi Farm.

You can pick black edamame beans in autumn and strawberries in spring.

The edamame beans that are the most delicious and have the most black parts can apparently be harvested after two weeks, but the ones I harvested this time were still a little green.

October Sushi Lab. Menu

The October menu will feature ingredients I have picked and other autumn ingredients.

I used the chestnuts to make marron cream for dessert.

Other dishes include pumpkin soup made with dashi and miso, and sea bream sashimi.

Let's all enjoy sushi and the flavors of autumn together!
