"Festival of Umeda / Naoko Nakamura"

We can feel the warmth of spring in the air. Weeping Plum in front of SOU・SOU is in full bloom.
Up and Down you all doing?


On the day of the 3rd Hina Festival the other day, I went to a tea lesson while raining in a little rain.

Sweets, from pink Yellowish Green and gradation is beautiful main candy to color,
Funa Akitsuki's Spring Confection "Kitano Plum Grove"We got it.
Wrapped in white bean paste with plum bean paste and then covered with sugar, this pretty sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, you will have a strong sweetness and a faint salty, and an elegant plum acidity and flavor.

What was delicious after that.


It has been about a year and a half since I started practicing.
On this day, it is late, debut day before dense tea.
My original "Friends of Flowers"I watched it.

Pour hot water into the tea cup containing dark tea, and knead it carelessly.

Nelly ...

Outside is the sign of rain.
In the silence, only the small steam that handles the steam sound of the kettle and tools.


Seeing tools.
The inscription on the Tea Scoop is "Joshi" (referring to the Doll's Festival, a festival held in March).



It is a valuable time for tea to return to the original self in huge days.
Through the preparation and preparation, the senses become clearer.

The path of tea has just begun.
From now on, I would like to walk Relax along the road without rushing.
