The other day, we went to a fireworks display in the bay area. Lots of fireworks events are held everywhere in Japan during summer. Watching spectacular fireworks displays is meaningful to most Japanese. It seems like the symbol of peace, happiness, and midsummer. I feel even Japanese spirit, though I usually don't feel this way. I think people who come watch fireworks enjoy not only fantastic ones but the atmosphere there as well. Of course I was sooo excited, too, like a kid.
We had some time until the fireworks displays going off, so we had a tea break at my favorite cake shop nearby. Their stuff is to die for. Great! I'll spill now, after this, we went to my fave ramen house and had Ramen, then went to a new gelato house.... I wonder, fireworks make us abnormally hungry!?
Ah I with I could take better shots! I'd better practice...
Click the one, you can check the details!
Beautiful fresh bento as always, I love the delicate blendings of taste and texture that come through in your photos, Izumi! I have some Japanese curry cubes and I love the idea of using for udon...yep, its a plan, now :D

ReplyDeleteIn America, ya'll can see great fireworks displays on July 4th, right? I love the excitement in the air of fireworks events.
Curry cubes are pretty handy. I use it for curry *soup* udon, that's my fave. I eat it breaking out in a sweat every time hehe. I'm curious how your curry udon comes out!! :)
Your fireworks photos are beautiful! But the cake and bentos are more beautiful to me (and my tummy!) Hope you are enjoying the rest of the summer :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! I love the style of yours.
I use Nikon D90. It works well even under low light in the morning. I can't manage yet all the functions tho. :)
