I am Kimura, living in the northern part of Tokyo. While I try to provide local information about the northern part of Tokyo, this blog is a place where the conversation goes off on various tangents. Rain is forecast for this week in Tokyo, but the weather is pleasantly cool and breezy. As we head into the summer season in Japan, what do you imagine when you think of summer in Japan? For food, there are various foods such as shaved ice, chilled Chinese noodles, and chilled tofu. For food, there are various foods such as shaved ice, chilled Chinese noodles, chilled tofu, etc. In summer, people start drinking “Mugi-cha” barley tea. This is the season when cold barley tea is delicious.

Mugi-cha is a tea made from barley. It is popular among many people in Japan. It is drunk cold in a refrigerator. It is usually served in a glass cup with ice. It is made and stored in large pots, so pots of tea are sold here and there in the coming season. You can find them at hundred-yen stores and so on. This mugi-cha (barley tea) was about 200 yen. 54 packets. 1 packet makes 1 liter of barley tea. I drink a liter of barley tea in two or three days. If I drink it for two days, I can drink barley tea for 108 days. 1 pack is enough to enjoy.

If you think about it, many foods are typical of summer.
There are also somen noodles, which I introduced the other day.

It will be hot again this summer, so I hope to introduce some countermeasures against the heat.
