[Tableware and Rice] Sweet potatoes, mushrooms, autumn salmon... things to satisfy your autumn appetite

Although the summer heat is still lingering, autumn ingredients are gradually becoming visible around the supermarket.
So, even though it's still hot, I wanted to get a taste of autumn through food alone, so I tried making some food that I'd eat in the fall.

Takikomi gohan (rice cooked with ingredients). I love the smell of it cooking.

For the rice dish, I chose autumnal ingredients such as sweet potato, salmon, and mushrooms.

Ingredients (serves 2-3)

2 cups of rice, appropriate amount of mushrooms, 2 slices of salmon, appropriate amount of sweet potato, 1 teaspoon of Japanese-style soup stock
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sake (to sprinkle on the salmon in preparation)

I like light flavors so I use less seasoning, but if you like stronger flavors then 2 tablespoons would be fine.
The time it takes to cook rice with seasonings is truly blissful. The delicious aroma fills the room, and it gives you a sense of happiness, like eating freshly baked bread.

First, eat it freshly cooked, and then add butter the next day to add richness. It's so delicious, be careful not to eat too much.

The rice bowl is from a pottery experience at Matsuo Pottery Studio in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. The electric potter's wheel experience is difficult, but it's fun and using tableware that you made yourself feels special, so I recommend it. I feel that experiencing the difficulty and hardship of making things helps develop a sense of appreciation for things.
