candied kumquat
  • March 09,2023

I've always thought that taste of kumquat is similar to taste of melancholy: it is refined, rounded and cute. Like longing, it always inadvertently opens door of thought, so the taste of sweet and sour comes together and you can't stop it, but this sweet longing always lingers in your heart, just like you never left it. So I decided to miss you on this warm day...
