～Enjoy Curry & rice with summer vegetables,
Chopped salad, Japanese summer iced sweets (Kaki-koori)
|
|
 Nowadays, shops offer a wide variety of foods, in particular during the
summer the variety and quality of the fresh one increase. We
think that the varieties of summer vegetables, also the fresh farm products,
are precious as jewels. We can compare tomatoes to red rubies, green-peppers to colorful tourmalines,
eggplants to clear sapphires, cucumbers to blue-green emeralds, and celeries
to noble jades.Therefore, we would like to introduce the special chicken
curry and rice with fresh and excellent vegetables, growing under the sun.
This spicy dish can stimulate our appetite in hot summer and
sometimes reminds us our mom’s dish-tastes. We also prepare the fresh green salad and Japanese summer sweets (Kaki-koori)
using ice cubes.The key-words of these dishes are healthy, simple, and
universal!!
