うちにはバナナの苗木があります（最近貰ったもの）。
まだ小さくて実がなるまでにはまだまだ年数がかかるけど、葉はどんどん出てくるよ。
バナナの葉を料理やエステに使うの、アジアの文化だよねっ！
よし、私もバナナの葉を使ってみよう！

Awesome,you are growing banana tree,I always thought they only grow in tropical weather,I wonder if Mie is too cold,but I am sure you know more than me at this!
I look forward seeing the produce,when the banana leaves are big enough,may be you could try the many SE Asian banana leaf wrapping food!
I think compare to the leaves of pandan,lotus,or bamboo,the banana leaves have less aroma itself,however this method of cooking is still good to trap the moisture and the aroma of what's inside!

wow...look yummy!
