Mother's Taste.

Hello.

A hectic week has passed since I came to Sendai.

It was my first time bringing work home and returning to my hometown, asking my mother to babysit, and also asking my husband to rely on my mother, yet it was still a busy week.

But it was a week that made me realize it was worth the effort.

The photo above is of sea squirts my mother made for me.

They were truly delicious, so delicious.

The older I get, the more I love sea squirts and can't get enough of them.

I bought them with shells, soaked them overnight in sweet vinegar plus vinegar, and just sprinkled chopped shiso leaves on top.

It really is the taste of Sendai.

Or rather, the taste of my mother's hometown Tagajo, or perhaps my grandmother's hometown Shichigahama.

It's a grateful taste that makes me feel like I've come home♪
