The season of cherry blossoms is almost over in Tokyo.
That’s too bad I won’t be able to look up lovely cherry blossoms anymore but this is the change of the seasons…
Beautiful green leaves came out gradually and they gives me fresh energy!
How do you feel the change of the seasons in your country?
Nature always show us wonderful visual every time the seasons change, such as trees, flowers, winds, and so on.
Seasonal foods also give us indication of each season. And I got another springlike material: BROAD BEANS for today.
Although the weather is too cold for spring, the bright green color of broad beans will bring fresh feeling to our table!

I like the bright color in miso soup!
I love the pale pink and vivid pink of cherry blossoms but this GREEN bowl is also lovely for spring.
Soft and delicious broad beans greatly matches with miso taste.
Last time I used lettuce for miso soup, I could feel little grassy smell. So I decided to use beaten egg to make it mild. It was absolutely good idea!
Enjoy your miso soup!
