梅 - Plum
Plum blossoms are so pretty. You can see them in artworks sometimes but they do not get as much attention as the universally beloved cherry blossoms. Plums are also very delicious! I can't wait till they are in season again!
What's your favorite fruit?

サバ Saba - Mackerel
I got to try mackerel for the first time I visited Japan and it tastes so different from the freshwater fish we have in Austria. I really like it! It goes great with rice! Unfortunately, mackerels are very hard to get in Austria. Do you eat fish?
