A taste of Yamagata has arrived

We often receive delicious things from our relatives in Yamagata,
and it really helps us out.
All the ingredients from Yamagata are fresh,


have a rich flavor,
and my spouse and I love them.
What arrived this time


was Yamagata dashi and pickles.
They remember our preferences so well,


and it makes me happy that they send them
as if to say, "You liked this, didn't you?"
Every time I open the box, I feel a sense of warmth.
Among them, what I look forward to every time


is Grandma's pickles.
Even if I follow the recipe,


I just can't recreate that flavor,
and I really feel that it's something special.
Once, when a friend came over to visit,


I served these pickles.
They said, "These are truly delicious,"
and they were very happy to eat them.
Last month it was apples 🍎


The month before last it was rice 🌾
Both were homemade, and we are grateful to have them.

Being able to have them sent regularly like this,
I am filled with gratitude.


Through delicious food,
it feels like we are connected even though we are far apart.
Every time I experience such kindness,
my heart feels warm too ☺️
