Harvesting yuzu fruits at Higashitani san’s old house for the past two days.  It’s done by hand, and some essential tools: long handed clippers, curved-nosed snippers, leather gloves, aluminium stepladders, tea, biscuits, hats, plastic crates, weighing scales, a truck, beer, shochu, chocolate, bento, no rain, a wooden sled, plastic buckets.

I’ve had a yuzu bath, I’ve had yuzu beer, yuzu tea, yuzu miso, yuzu gohan, yuzu nabe, yuzu tofu.  I also made a collection of hentai yuzu.  I gave one to Zalans.

We have a crate of yuzu outside on the washing-machine and a bunch of yuzu leaves hanging in the living room.  We also have a yuzu twig with a wasp nest attached.  It’s quite wonderful.

I have the tip of a yuzu spine (they are very spiny trees) embedded in my wrist.  I’m looking forward to digging it out with a pin.
