Happy biiiiirthdaaaaay Hitsugayaaaa お誕生日おめでとう！

Would you like to start your day with tea with your vice-captain:

Presented here in my cup that in 2020 was re-christened "the Hitsugaya cup <3" and will likely remain so forevermore, and in a duck cup my co-blogger gave to me this year, and which I immediately put into fanfic as "Matsumoto's weird cup" because I absolutely love it. I would excerpt the scene, but it turns out Hinamori's thoughts about the cup are interspersed within a lot of other stuff, so just know that it's Matsumoto's Weird Duck Cup.

For lunch, can I interest you in some oyaki??

Oyaki are a regional food from Nagano, which is an interior mountain region in Japan, a few hours west of Tokyo. I've been there exactly once, but I absolutely loved it, because MOUNTAINS and SUBARU COUNTRY:

Because of this+its westerly general location+Hitsugaya and Hinamori's names I model my version of Junrinan off of it (though the main village we see is in the flatlands, not the mountains themselves). I also HC that Isshin sent Hitsugaya off to Actual Nagano for his Gotei hazing/30-day walkabout in the Living World, because he knew it would feel similar to Junrinan.

Oyaki are dumplings, traditionally cooked with irori, or those traditional square stove pits you see in the middle of people's houses in old-timey anime. I do not have one of those so I made mine the way you'd make any other dumpling, in a frying pan on a stove, frying first and then steaming. You can freeze them to re-steam later, which is what I did this weekend. These ones have miso eggplant and bamboo shoot in them, because that's what I had, though the only oyaki I have written into fanfic have pickled mustard greens in them.

I would excerpt that, but Hitsugaya is not actually in most of that scene, doesn't say a single thing when he is, and the narrating POV (Kensei) doesn't care about him. So I will instead say that in the scene, the gang is making oyaki at Matsumoto's direction, because she's a well-traveled No Reservations type who's familiar with Junrinan cooking. It's an intentional choice and an act of care, and even if no one else in the scene knows it, least of all the narrator, Hitsugaya does.

And to round out the day, an afternoon potato snack?

Yaki imo aren't particularly Hitsugaya-related, I suppose, except that it's a fall/winter thing and his birthday is just before the winter solstice, and right at that turning point. And I did write him and Orihime eating potatoes together once. *I* associate them with walking around in the woods when it's cold as shit, which in my mind is Just Junrinan Things.

So I went for a celebratory birthday potato walk on Sunday! And got lost in the woods for a while. I say this as though I didn't have an Avenza map the entire time, but the trails are often less-trail like than 'there are blazes on trees sometimes' and it took a while to re-find the blazes in the dark. I had a second emergency potato with me should I have needed it, though!

[tollingreminiscentbells]

This is not my usual tumblr nonsense, but I was talking to someone on the ferry back to Aomori about places in Japan that I particularly love. So in case any of you are planning a trip, in no particular order, these are my current top 5 places in Japan.

Ise, Mie Prefecture (location of the Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto site. Visit the outer and inner shrines, check out the Meoto Iwa/married rocks, eat udon and mochi, and buy some pearls.)

Iya Valley, Tokushima Prefecture (one of the most remote places in Japan. Take a river cruise through the Oboke Gorge, visit a historic village, walk across one of the vine bridges, and eat soba. Caveat: best experienced with a car.)

Yamagata, Yamagata Prefecture (walk up the 1,000 steps to Yama-Dera, relax at Ginzan Onsen or Zao Onsen, go to the Three Mountains of Dewa, eat beef and cherries, if they're in season. If it's winter and this is your thing: ski.)

Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture (visit Matsumoto Castle, which is original not a reconstruction, go to the art museum and the ukiyo-e museum, check out the historic shopping streets, cafe hop, eat oyaki and soba.)

Hakodate, Hokkaido Prefecture (see the view from Mt. Hakodate, check out Motomachi, the old European quarter, walk around Goryokaku Park, eat seafood at the morning market, and don't skip the milk flavor ice cream. Hokkaido is famous for dairy.)

You may have noticed that there are food recommendations attached to all of them. Everywhere in Japan has at least one local speciality that you are contractually obligated to eat. I don't make the rules.

Matsumoto y Hirayu-no-mori

Matsumoto: ciudad pequeña y encantadora en la prefectura de Nagano. Es famosa por su castillo negro. Más bonito en la realidad que en internet. El centro es realmente agradable, calles, callecitas, callejones que descubren una fuente de agua, un jardín o un cementerio, con tiendas que se denominarían monas, restaurantes todos apetecibles, tranquilidad, todo se puede hacer caminando, poco tráfico, museos interesantes, oyakis y soba. Volvería. Viviría.

Sí, hay pequeños cementerios en cualquier esquina, en mitad de cualquier sitio. Puede ser una manera de integrarlos y desmitificarlos.

Calles limpias como la patena, se puede comer en el suelo. Está todo tan impoluto que da la sensación de ser un escenario.

Usan bastante la bici, pero no se suben el sillín, pedalean sin llegar a estirar las piernas.

Hay un sentimiento de alegría bastante intenso al poder contemplar la intensa gama de colores con la que nos deleitan los árboles, desde un llamativo verde hasta un rojo intenso, pasando por amarillos, ocres y naranjas. Es una sensación de estar contemplando la belleza.

Oyaki: pastel relleno típico de Matsumoto con forma de moneda grande y de unos dos dedos de grosor. La parte exterior es una especie de masa de crep más chiclosa y por dentro va rellena tanto de salado como de dulce.

Hay campos de arroz en las prefecturas de Gifu y Nagano, zonas aparentes muy frías. Y el ciclo de crecimiento es diferente al nuestro.

El wasabi es una raíz de forma similar a la cúrcuma pero algo más grande, o a una zanahoria muy estriada pequeña. Se cultiva en campos canalizados por los que discurre agua constantemente y desde que se siembra hasta que se recoge y se puede consumir pasa un año aproximadamente. Para obtener la crema que sirven con el pescado hay que frotar la raíz contra una tablilla forrada de piel de tiburón.

En la carretera muchas obras, muchos “para y sigue”, todos indicados con lucecitas por todas partes y de varios colores, moviéndose como molinos o castillos de fuegos artificiales.

Presas, varias, en un trayecto de 40 km.

Ir al baño es un placer, afirma Mauricio, y es verdad: la taza del inodoro está calefactada. Descubrimos y alabamos este placer.

Yukata: kimono de algodón para llevar en casa o a los baños.

Los paneles típicos japoneses están hechos de papel de arroz y aíslan mucho más de lo que se pueda pensar. Además hacen sombras muy bonitas.

Cenas y desayunos típicos japoneses son prácticamente iguales: sopa de miso, encurtidos, arroz, pescado en conserva, algas, setas, hoba miso y té. A la cena le añaden algo más de carne o pescado y en el desayuno probablemente un huevo. En cualquier caso la comida aquí da bastante sed, deben de ser las bases de miso o similar que en el fondo aportan sal.

Hello everyone! I was tagged in this post by @memoryoflife. It's another super long chain post, so I'm doing my separate one here as I don't like super long chains!

relationship status: Single (slightly sadly)

favourite colour(s): blue, green, pastels

song stuck in my head: WORK by millennium parade & Sheena Ringo. It's the, 試してくれ (試してくれ) and 許してくれ (許してくれ) that are always stuck in my brain.

last thing I googled: WORK by millennium parade lyrics so I can make sure the parts to the lyrics that's stuck in my brain are spelled correctly.

dream trip: Going back to Japan! I want to go back to Nagano and eat oyaki + see my village again. I also want to go down to Kyoto and Nara for more than one day. Finally, I need to spend time in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Yokohama again.

anything I want right now: I want to finish my FE Fates fic chapter, get a new phone case because I cracked a corner off, Blade to come home in HSR, and for our mythic unit in FEH at the end of the month to NOT be another female OC and either be Freyr or a mythic (male) from a base game.

Day 12 - Nagano

A rather quiet day today, we left the hotel around 7:40am and got 3 trains to our new hotel in Nagano, Matsuya Ryokan. We’re in another traditional Japanese ryokan, we think it’s a family run hotel. They have two public onsens one for men and one for women.

After dropping our bags off we wandered around the streets near our hotel which is right next door to the Zenkoji temple, this is a huge area for the main temple with 5 other main areas to it. Once in the main shrine there is a 45 meter underground passage that is in complete darkness, you feel your way through by keeping your right hand on the wall at all times. When nearing the end of the passage way there is a door that houses a Buddha statue and is locked with a key, when you touch this it is known as the key to paradise.

When we visited the scripture hall there is a rotating sutra repository, this is an octagonal structure that contains Buddhist readings, if you rotate the structure the whole way once it is said that this is the same as reading all of its contents, after spinning it you then pray as this is then how it’s granted. The entirety of the temple was incredible with so much going on, from a huge incense burner which you donate money to burn a bunch of sticks and then to a working temple where we were able to watch a ceremony of drumming, fire burning and a singing bowl whilst the two monks sang and chanted.

Also in the village we tried oyaki which originated in the Nagano prefecture, it’s a filled Japanese dumpling made from fermented buckwheat dough. We tried 5 fillings from mushrooms (this was the best!), eggplant, picked spring greens, cheese and onion and also bean paste jam, all was very delicious!!

Finally was dinner and we sat at the traditional Japanese table, Michael had a curry broth soup with soba noodles and chicken and I had tempura shrimp ten-don bowl and a small bowl of kake (soba noodles and broth).

We both went for a dip in our separate onsens and then relaxed in the room, I was asleep before 9pm, I feel like I’ve finally caught up on my sleep!!
