A Culinary Journey Through Germany: Exploring Delicious Delights

As I reflect on my recent trip to Germany, one aspect stands out prominently in my memory: the exquisite culinary adventure I embarked upon. From hearty classics to delicate specialties, each dish I encountered left an indelible mark on my taste buds and fueled my passion for exploring global cuisines. Join me as I recount my gastronomic journey through the flavors of Germany.

Schnitzel: A Crispy Classic

The journey began with the iconic Schnitzel, a dish synonymous with German cuisine. Thinly pounded meat, typically veal or pork, coated in breadcrumbs and fried to golden perfection, Schnitzel embodies simplicity and satisfaction. Each bite was a harmonious symphony of crunch and tenderness, leaving me craving for more of this timeless delight.

White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce: A Springtime Sensation

Intrigued by seasonal specialties, I indulged in the delicate flavors of white asparagus paired with velvety Hollandaise sauce. Asparagus, celebrated as a springtime delicacy in Germany, was tender and subtly sweet, perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy sauce. This dish exemplified the art of simplicity, allowing the natural flavors to shine through and delight the palate.

Goulash: Hearty Comfort in a Bowl

I also savored the comforting embrace of Goulash, a stew renowned for its robust flavors and hearty appeal. Tender chunks of meat, slow-cooked with aromatic spices and vegetables, created a symphony of savory goodness that warmed both body and soul. Each spoonful transported me to a cozy corner of a traditional German tavern, enveloped in the comforting aroma of home-cooked goodness.

Sausages: A Sizzling Symphony of Flavor

No culinary journey through Germany would be complete without indulging in the myriad varieties of sausages that grace its menus. From bratwurst to currywurst, each sausage boasted its own unique blend of spices and textures, tantalizing the taste buds with every bite. Whether enjoyed with a side of sauerkraut or nestled in a crusty bread roll, these sizzling delights showcased the diverse culinary landscape of Germany.

Oh, there’s no need to say… Pints of beer are the perfect match to these meals!


One Regret: A Lesson Learned

As I reminisce about my culinary adventures in Germany, one regret weighs heavily on my mind: missing out on Eisbein, a traditional German dish of pork knuckle. However, this missed opportunity serves as a delicious excuse to plan another trip to Germany in the future. In the meantime, I take solace in knowing that a taste of Eisbein awaits me at a beloved spot in Osaka, serving as a tantalizing reminder of the culinary delights that await in Germany.

In conclusion, my journey through the culinary landscape of Germany was nothing short of spectacular. From classic comforts to seasonal delights, each dish offered a glimpse into the rich tapestry of German cuisine. As I bid farewell to this gastronomic paradise, I carry with me fond memories and a newfound appreciation for the flavors that unite us across borders. Prost to the joys of food and the adventures that await in every bite!

Shaolin Temple Europe: Exploring the Intersection of Tradition and Modernity

In the heart of Germany lies a haven of ancient wisdom and martial arts mastery: Shaolin Temple Europe . My recent trip to Germany, accompanied by a friend who is a licensed Qigong trainer, led us to this remarkable place. For her, the opportunity to delve into the teachings of Shi Feng Yi , the esteemed headmaster of Shaolin Europe, was a dream come true. Visiting the temple was the pinnacle of our itinerary, and after much anticipation, we finally set foot within its hallowed grounds. Although Master Shi was away on a journey to spread his profound knowledge of Qigong and Gongfu across the globe, our disappointment was quickly dispelled by the warm welcome we received from a monk named Miao. Miao, hailing from France, exuded a serene aura that spoke volumes of his dedication to monkhood. His very name, bestowed upon him in the tradition of Buddhism, hinted at the depth of his spiritual journey spanning several years. Despite Master Shi's absence, Miao graciously guided us through...

痛いのではない、痛みを思い出しただけさ

Gregory Maxwell - From File:Yin yang.png, converted to SVG by Gregory Maxwell., パブリック・ドメイン, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=364239による 歌手の宇多田ヒカルさんが、自身のインスタライブで視聴者からの質問に答えていた時のこと。海外ファンから、「なぜ大切な方との関係が終わった時に、心が痛むのか?」という、答えに窮するような質問がありました。宇多田さんはしばらく考えた後に、その質問に対して、このように答えるのです。 「その痛みは、もともと持っていたものじゃないのかな。それで、その人との関係は<痛み止め>みたいなもので、その間痛みを忘れていたというか。だから、関係が終わった時に痛みを思い出したのだと思う。」 (宇多田さんは英語で回答されていたので、内容を意訳しております。) ヒット曲を連発する宇多田さん、その感性に改めて脱帽しています。 宇多田さんがご存じなのかどうかわかりませんが、この考え方は易経にある「陰陽」の考え方に通じるところがあります。万物は、常に陰陽、2つの正反対の側面を持つというものです。 太極図 冒頭の陰陽マーク、ご存知の方も多いのではないでしょうか。 黒は陰、白は陽を現し、一つの円に勾玉のような形で陰陽が描かれています。また、陰陽ともに同じ面積であり、一つのものには、1:1の比率で陰と陽がセットになっているという、易経が最も重視する考えを端的に示した図です。 宇多田さんの例をとると、痛みは陰、大切な方との関係を陽としたときに、陽にいる間、もともとの痛み(陰)を忘れていただけ、という見方ができます。   このマーク、正式には「太陰太極図」と呼ばれています。 大いなる陰が大きく極まった時の図、と解釈できますね。 宇宙や海底、母親の胎内。生命が始まった場所はすべて光の届かない闇。「 陰 陽」であって「陽 陰 」ではないことからも、闇の上に光が存在していることがわかります。闇が極まった時、光が誕生する。この「陽転」とよばれる瞬間を切り取ったのが、太極図なのかもしれません。 光ばかり注目される世の中。 多くの人が、物事の良い面ばかりを追いかけていきます。 でも、「光があるから闇」ではなく、闇の中にい...
