Today I wore a jacket over my T-shirt. During the daytime, the temperature rises to 30C yet, at night and in the morning, it is cool. Yes, autumn has come to Tokyo. I LOVE autumn, except I have to have my birthday.
Autumn is the eating season. We say "Shokuyoku no Aki," in Japanese. In North America, the TV program "iron cheff" was popular, right? After that, the most popular food show would be "Docchi No Ryori Show". (Which dish? show). Two hosts and his chef make teams select "a dish". Each team gets high quality material (like this､ like this) from all over Japan and cooks the dish in the kitchen studio. 7 guests watch them all and vote for which one they want to eat in the end. Only the winning team and guests who vote for the winning side can eat the dish. Last time it was beef steak vs seafood sushi bowl. The beefsteak bowl won.
A Funny food show is "Debuya" which I introduced in "pika pika food" before. Debu means big/fat, Ya means place/shop, in Japanese. Two big guys, Papay Suzuki and Hidehiko Ishizuka, eat a lot every week, actually that is all. However, their funny comments, how to eat, and the happy face of someone eating helps people relax on Friday nights.
Metropolice has an article about Japanese food shows. Please check it out, too.
I had this website saved a while in the past but my computer crashed.

Last leaves of autumn
hanging on grimly
resplendent red.
A mini-poem I made last year :-)
I hear that there are traditional foods for each season in Japan. What are the ones for autumn?
