8月21日(hachigatsu nijyuichi nichi): August 21

It rained and was rather cool today. Until two days ago it has been unbelievably hot. We still have earthquakes these days.

I went grocery shopping. Supermarket is the place where we can feel the season. Today I found some autumn foods there. They are grapes and ingredients for cooking rice such as chestnut (栗:kuri) and matsutake (松茸) mushroom. They are called kuri gohan (栗ごはん) and matsutake gohan (松茸ごはん) when cooked. Gohan (ご飯) means rice. Autumn is a season of good appetite.
