Croissant

Today, I will introduce "Croissant".
As you know from past article, I like croissant very much.
I like eating a variety of Croissant, but I didn't know about it.
So, I searched it.

The Kipferl is ancester of croissant.
It has been documented in Austrian publishment 13th century.
The Kipferl can be made plain or with nuts.
Its shape is different from ordinary croissant. Picture of that is Following.

Next, I will introduce variation of croissant.

The croissant we eat in Japan is covered with a sweet glaze or filled with chocolate. However,there are different type of it in each countries.

In France and Spain, it sold without filling and eaten without added butter.

In United States, sweet filling or toppings are common, and be filled with ham and cheese.

In Germany, it sometimes filled Nutella(hazelnut sweet spread).

After searched of croisant, I learned many kinds of it.

I want to try eating many croissant when I go to oversea travel in the future.

Itarian restaurant

Have you ever heard PIETRO?
I went to an Itatian restaurant with my friends on Tuesday.
It located in AEON near Kaihinmakuhari station.

Today, I will introduce good menu which you can eat there.

This picture is half&half set. You can chose two pasta or pizza or lasagna.
You can eat as much as you like bread and salad.

I recommend to eat croissant because its crust is crispy and tastes sweety.
In addition, many people like PIETRO's original dressing.
If you are interested in there, you had better to go!

My favorite pickled vegetable

I will introduce my favorite pickled vegetable, Nozawana.

Nozawana is a Japanese leaf vegetable and often pickled.

I like it because my grand parents live in Nagano prefecture and it is local food there.
I have been eaten it since I was in child.

Next, I will explain Nozawana's history.

In 1756, it was taken by a person who lived in Nozawa from Kyoto to Nozawaonsen village.

It was cultivated around that area, so it was named Nozawana.

We can enjoy eating Nozawana not only as it is, but also stir-fry, adding to Chinese fried rice and eating as spice with Natto.

Be careful to keep it in the refrigerator because it ferment soon in room temperature.

If it fermented, its taste become bad.

You can buy Nozawana at the are of pickled vegetables in the super market.

However, I reccomend buying in Nagano's super market. It is fresh and delicious!
