こんばんは！あやごんです。
今日は「1年ぶりに食べた日本の沢庵が信じられないほど美味しかった」というお話をしたいと思います！
普段、私がよく行くスーパーで買える沢庵は韓国産の沢庵です。韓国の沢庵はややピリ辛でこれはこれでとても美味しいのです。そのため日本の沢庵、韓国の沢庵など、全く気にせずに、ただ沢庵を楽しんでいたのですが、たまたま立ち寄った日本食スーパーで日本産の沢庵を見つけ、お手頃価格だったので購入。昨日の夕飯に一口食べてみると、、
これが信じられないほど美味しい！！「うっま！！！！！」って、つい声に出すほど美味しかったです。
ほのかな甘みと酸味 「え？！こんなに沢庵って美味しかったか？」ってなりました。
勢い余って、日本人のハウスメイトにもお裾分け、彼女もまた「うま！！！」と声に出してました（笑）
日本にいる頃は気づけなかった沢庵の美味しさ。
「いやぁ私は日本人なんだな」と改めて気付かされる日常の一コマでした。漬物最高！😆
Good evening, it’s Ayagon.
Today, I want to share a little story about how I had Japanese takuan (pickled daikon) for the first time in a year—and it was unbelievably delicious!
Usually, the takuan I buy at my local supermarket is from Korea. Korean takuan is a bit spicy, and it’s really tasty too. So I never really cared whether it was Japanese or Korean—I just enjoyed takuan as it was.
But the other day, I happened to stop by a Japanese grocery store and found Japanese takuan. It was reasonably priced, so I picked it up. Then yesterday at dinner, I took a bite and…
It was so incredibly good! I literally said out loud, “Umaa!!!” without even thinking.
With its gentle sweetness and slight tang, I thought, ‘Whoa, has takuan always been this tasty?!’
I even shared some with my Japanese housemate, and she also blurted out, “Umaa!!!” (lol).
It made me realize—this is something I never appreciated back when I was living in Japan. Takuan is truly delicious.
Moments like this remind me that deep down, I really am Japanese. Pickles are the best!
