Fall and Fukushima Video

Its Autumn now. Despite 28 degrees Celcius, shops agree that Autumn is over us or at least around the corner and thus decorate to celebrate the second most beautiful season in Japan (First one being Spring with the Cherry-trees in blossom of cause). Red maple leaves in plastic decorate the hallways of the malls, and national produce like beer has leaves printed on the cans. The restaurants and delis have as well taken the Autumn spirit to them as seen on this lunchbox (o bento) with carrots in the shape of leaves delicately scattered over the mushroom seasoned rice, a piece of salmon, a bit of sweet potato, a shitake musroom, a fish ball and Tamago yaki - a yummy kind of sweet egg omelette. Included is also a sweet bun made of rice and adzuki beans.
Price? 598 jpy or 27,50 d.kr.

The other day we found the official tourist video for Fukushima, the state we currently live in. It gives a pretty good idea of 'our' region. It can be seen here: Fukushima Prefecture video
