十月十八日(jyugatsu jyuhachi nichi): October 18

Speaking of Fall, it is shokuyoku no aki (食欲の秋), Fall of appatite. There are many seasonal dishes in Fall.
I went out for lunch and ate matsutake gohan (松茸ご飯), matsutake mushroom rice, which is typical rice dish in the fall. As for fish, sanma (秋刀魚), a mackerel pike is the most famous fall fish. As for vegetables, nasu (茄子), an eggplant is the representative one.
There are many delicious fruits in this season, such as nashi (梨), pear, kaki (柿), persimmon, and budou (葡萄), grape.
I hope you have a chance to visit Japan in this delicious season.
