Wed. Matsutake mushroom.

写真：サフランボル（トルコ・２００６・１）オスマン・トルコ式の木造民家の町・世界遺産。黒海地方。ここはそれほどでもないが、途中のアンカラ周辺がマイナス２０度クラス。
　このごろトルコでの写真ばかり見ている。旅行中はリピーターの多いのが不思議だったが。いまは妙な懐かしさがある。真ん中辺の円い屋根は温泉。若いお二人さんは楽しんできました。

The travel abroad (2)
Matsutake is a fragrant and very delicious mushroom that grows chiefly in red pine forests. When I was a teacher, I took a school trip to Kyoto, and I bought some Matsutake mushrooms at Nishiki market. But I have never bought it since then, because it is very expensive and we have a poor Matsutake crop in Akita.
Mr. Satake said“ I ate many Matsutake mushrooms in Seoul, and they were very fragrant and inexpensive”, so I thought that I would go to Seoul to buy them.
Luckily, I found a cheap ticket to Seoul. It was 29,800 yen for a four day trip. Then I invited three friends of mine to go the Matsut５ake shopping, but no one decided to go there and they suggested enjoying the autumn colors in Kourankey, and I had to agree with them. I canceled the ticket.
To my disappointment, I missed out on travelling abroad and eating Matsutake mushroom.
