# Foil-grilled mushrooms with butter

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Aridagawa, Wakayama

Mushrooms are another essential of the autumn table. I wrapped four kinds in foil with butter and grilled the parcel over the same garden charcoal that had cooked the saury. Opening it released steam and the smell of butter.

## Ingredients

- Shiitake mushrooms
- Shimeji mushrooms
- Enoki mushrooms
- Maitake mushrooms
- Butter

## How I made it

1. Spread the mushrooms on foil, top with butter, and wrap
2. Grill the parcel on the wire over the charcoal in the garden

## This moment in the journey: An autumn feast

The chestnut rice turned out beautifully. When I lifted the lid of the pot, golden chestnuts tumbled into view. The foil parcel of mushrooms I grilled over the charcoal in the garden; opening it released steam and the smell of butter.

On the table: chestnut rice sprinkled with black sesame, the foil-grilled mushrooms, and the bonito and mandarin carpaccio. I poured a non-alcoholic beer, and the autumn feast began. Rich bonito and juicy early mandarin, together in one bite. Wakayama's strongest tag team, perhaps.

Seasonal flavors, made from ingredients I had harvested myself. It felt as if I had turned the page of the season with my own hands, and that made me very happy. Ah, autumn, the season of appetite. Out on the veranda, a lamp glowed in the night.
