週末は、最近知り合いになった農園で芋掘りをしてきました。と言っても、ほんの少しの区画でしたが、それでも楽しかったです。
家族で30分ほど掘って、収穫自体は8kg。ただしそんなにあっても多すぎるため、追加はせずに事前の約束の5kgを購入しました。うち、2kgは干し芋加工をしてもらうことにして3kgを持ち帰りました。
まずは一週間干して乾かし、そのあと家の中の暖かくない場所で一ヶ月置くと熟成して美味しくなると教えてもらいました。というわけで、実際に食べるのはもう少し後になります。
そのあとは、初めての温泉施設に行ってみました。とてもきれいなところで、食事の選択肢が多くて家族揃って今回はお寿司にしました。金沢の回転寿司屋さんで、わたしは上野店にも行ったことがあるのですが、ここはそこまで安くはないのですが味が良いので満足度高し。ただ、ちょっと塩分多めの食事だったようで、翌日はむくみを感じてしまっています。水分摂って、デトックスしないと！
We went to the farm I recently got to know with to harvest sweet potatoes. It was a tiny area to dig and quickly done, but I still had fun.
We were there digging for half an hour. Yielded 8kg. It would've been too much so I purchased 5kg as promised. Out of 5kg, I asked them to make dried sweet potatoes so brought 3kg back.
I was told to dry them outside for a week. Then I need to leave them inside the house where it's not warm. It will take a month before you can eat. They said you can eat earlier but ageing makes it much better.
We went to the hot spring that is new to us. It was very clean. They had many options for meals and this time, we decided on sushi on a belt conveyer. It's a chain place from Kanazawa and I had been to one of their branches in Ueno. They are not so cheap but taste quite good so all of us were happy although I felt my hands a bit swollen due to too much salt. I need to drink much water to detox.
