Lake Yamanaka lies at 1000m above the sea level but only 1.5hr driving distance from Tokyo and is a nice summer escape in Summer time. – Yamanashi / August. 2023 –
“Kaisen-Don” is probably the most eaten menu by the visitors to Hokkaido. Kaisen means Fresh sea food. Don means a bowl and represents a way of preparation laying rice beneath. I got a Kaisen-Don with very fresh sea-urchin, scallops, snow crab and yellow tail. This menu comes with seaweed (right top) and a jar with fish broth. I enjoyed in three ways, 1) as they are, 2) wrapped in seaweed like sushi and 3) Ocyazuke style with the broth. – Sapporo / June 2023 –
“Yakisaba” in Nagahama/Shiga Pref. is the local delicacies born from the geographical reason of the town located between Tsuruga and Kyoto.

In Nagahama, original serving methods were created like Yakisaba-Sushi and Yakisaba-Somen. – Nagahama/Shiga Pref. / April 2023 –
