It's all rainy season mode.

Okinawa is completely in rainy season mode.
It rained on and off many times a day,
The busy weather continues (^ ^)

This year, the rainy season started in April a little earlier than usual,
In Okinawa, the rainy season is usually from May to June.
During this season, many flowers are blooming in Okinawa.

This flower, which somehow has the atmosphere of a tropical plant,
It is a plant called shell ginger.

Getto has been introduced several times on this blog, but
There were so many flowers blooming in front of my house,
I have to introduce this!I took a picture thinking that (・∀・)ノ
(Or rather, since the rainy season has started, the blog has been updated too little ...
I'm sorry (><)!!)

In fact, shell ginger has an insect repellent effect, contains polyphenols,
Whitening effect, moisturizing effect, etc.
The more I look into it, the more I find it to be an amazing plant.
In Okinawa, the leaves of shell ginger have been used for cooking for a long time.
The standard is muchi (mochi wrapped in shell ginger leaves)!
And as some of you may know,
Okashigoten also makes sweets like this (^^)

[Gettou Karukan]

Because shell ginger leaf powder is used for the dough,
From the moment you open the package, you can enjoy the scent of shell ginger.

Shell peaches often grow on the roadside,
If you see shell ginger during your trip to Okinawa this time of year,
It would be nice to stop the car and enjoy the scent of the flowers (^ ^) ♪
