When I visit European countries, I’m always looking forward to finding new table waters. You may have a question why I’m interested in just a glass of water. It is just a bottle of natural water and common in Europe, isn’t it? Is it difficult to buy pure bottled water in Japan? No. You can easily find many kinds of natural waters in any supermarket and tap water is completely safe. What I want to find is hard water, having high mineral content. One of my favorites is BADOIT which is popular in France. It is slightly sweet with taste of magnesium and calcium, especially good for intensely flavored dishes.
ヨーロッパを訪ねる際にいつも楽しみなのはレストランでたのむ水である。単なるコップ一杯の水が何故楽しみなのかと訝る向きもあるかもしれないが、楽しみにしているのは、いわゆる硬水だ。フランスのどこでもお目にかかるバドワ（日本で買うと現地の何倍もの値段だが）が特に好みで、ミネラルの苦味と甘みが味の濃い料理によく似合う。
It’s a good season to have a lunch under the fresh and undiluted green air, isn’t it.
外で新鮮な空気を感じながらランチするには良い季節である。
