Ginkgo Trees

Now in Fukuoka city, ginkgo trees are beautifully changing their color of the leaves into yellow. Some produce ginkgo nuts. In Hakozaki campus of Kyushu University, many ginkgo trees gave the nuts dropped on the road. Smelling bad, however, the nuts are very tasty. I love them, grilled on charcoal or cooked in Japanese pudding called Chawan-Mushi.
