The hung salmon

I happened to find salmon being hung in front of the shop when I stopped in my car.

It was special view in winter so common when I was small but theses days are hardly to be seen.

It's  because of the great progress of preservation technology, such as fridge and freezer at home. We can easily keep food fresh for a while.

The salmon is called ' aramaki sake' which is salted and dried hanging in the air to keep it edible  without fridge or freezer but only in winter season.

It's one of the wisdom how to make stored food for winter period in the past.

Then I was very nostalgic at those traditional food and gazed it until the signal light turned to blue.
