#115 ゴールデンウィーク Golden Week Holiday in Japan

こんにちは、Mikaです
このポッドキャストでは私の日々の出来事を通して、日本語をより身近に
楽しく感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。
短い間ですがリラックスした気分でどうぞお付き合いください。

9月に入り、日本はだいぶ秋らしくなってきました。
日本の秋の行事といえば "お月見" がありますが
みなさん、お月見を知っていますか？
これは中国から伝わったもので、美しい月を見ながらお団子のなどのお菓子を食べることです。
それだけではなく本来は秋にできた豊作物が無事に収穫できたことを感謝する行事です。
なんだかアメリカのハロウィンに似ていますね。
そして月の大きさが変わることは生物の誕生と死を想像することから
先祖への感謝を伝える意味も含まれています。

お月見の時に食べるものといえば月見団子が有名ですが
他にもお餅やおまんじゅうなど月のような丸い形のものを食べる習慣があります。
最近では玉子を満月に見立てた月見バーガーや月見うどんなども人気です。
日本人は丸い食べ物を満月に例えて食べることが好きですね ♪

みなさんも美味しい丸いものを食べながら
日本らしいお月見を楽しんでみてください。
そしてお月見についてもっと深く学びたい人は
是非私の日本の歴史のレッスンを予約してみてくださいね。

それでは今日も笑顔の多い一日を！またね～

Tacos are a favorite dish for many people, but making the perfect taco takes a little more than just throwing ingredients together.

So here are a few easy tips to help you create delicious tacos every time!

Choose the right tortillas
MasterChef judge and Mexican cuisine expert Aarón Sánchez says there are three important elements to making the perfect taco — the tortilla, the fillings, and the toppings.

You should choose what kind of tortilla to use depending on what kinds of fillings you have, Sánchez told Tasting Table.

If your filling "has fur or is meat," you should use flour tortillas, because they're thicker and won't rip as easily. For all other, lighter fillings, like vegetables or beans, a corn tortilla is best.

Traditional Mexican tacos are almost always made with soft tortillas — not the hard shells that have become popular in America.

Use two tortillas for each taco
If you've ever ordered from a taco truck, you might have noticed that there are two tortilla wraps around your taco. This is to keep the taco together. If one of the tortillas rips or breaks, your fillings won't fall out and make a mess!

Add something pickled
Sánchez adds pickled food to his tacos, to add a bright, tangy taste that balances out the rich meat and cheese.

And it's easy to make your own pickled toppings! Take any leftover vegetables you have, put them in a mix of equal parts water and vinegar, add some sugar, salt and spices, then put it all in a sealed jar. After a day or two, you'll have your own fresh pickled vegetables!

Spread your toppings early
If you like sour cream or guacamole on your tacos, instead of putting them on top of your finished taco, try spreading them on your tortilla before you wrap it. This helps hold the fillings in place, and ensures that you get sour cream or guacamole with every bite!
