Yesterday was a really sunny day, the tourists from US, Ireland and Spain joined the June.12 tour. we might need to prepare for sun burn because of too much shine.... But, Tokyo is likely to be in a rainy season next week, you had better to make ready for wet weather.
In Tokyo, Japanese plums are in the season, we were able to find the fresh green plums on the trees of Bairin Saka (梅林坂/Plum tree slope）in the tour. Please look carefully at trees and plants around you, you may be aware of plums or any other clue of this season.
Today, I would like to show you a picture of some stuff in my home (Sorry, I could not take pictures in the tour..). Plum reminds me that it is a good time to make plum juice or plum wine, Umeboshi(梅干し/Pickled Japanese plum). The plum juice was made by my wife two weeks ago, which is far too early for drink. The umeboshi in the picture was made by my friend's mother last year. In my childhood, mother made umeboshi at home, but we rarely see such a home made umeboshi these day. I am wondering people nowadays are too busy to make it.
