A day trip to Tanba Sasayama -- Black beans and sightseeing report

On 18th, we went on Back beans crop tour to Tanba Sasayama

under  a beautiful autumn day♪

We arrived at around noon and went straight to "Hiiragiya"

a famous shop as "hand made sara(dish) soba.♪

While being excited at seasoning- yamaimo (yam) and iwanori(seaweed on rock)・・・！！！！

One after another・・・

Since 5 dishes per person

the table is full !! 

we were uneasy, thinking

whether we can eat them all or not ・・・・

But we perfectly made it！！

・・・Sorry I tell a lie.



I ate other person's portion too.

（Thank you ）

←my dishes look like a mountain（oops..）

Satisfied with richly-flavored soba.

Lastly  we enjoyed soba-yu (boiled water when making soba) and sweetened fried soba（can't stop eating). recommedable as souvenir☆ ) and then free-time.

After that！！

Main event -- Harvesting black beans in Kawakita area, the best black beans ♪♪





↑Black beans
Excited, watching the the bean field.　

↑Mr Tuneda, producer
Charming smile♪ 

What is black beans ?・・・　Let's eat firt anyway！！

←We tried.

Plump soybeans♪

Better to steam than boil them
to get best taste.

Now everybody well ready to harvest ！！

Grab  thick stems and cut ・・・

Kept cropping. Felt sense of achievement!

Then we tasted delicacies of Tanba, baked chestnuts and

black soybean bread under slow and natural atomosphere.

Thank you very much

for spending enjoyable time with us.

Also・・・

During free time,

I tried rare delicacy.

"Wild bore steamd bread"

It is now in some travel book and seasoned with Haccho miso.

The master said

"Getting a hint from wild bore potI did many trials and errors to come up with this taste・・"

,which made us more interested to eat.☆

Wondering what taste is it like ?

Delicious because sweetness of miso completely covered distinct smell.♪

Sasayama has a lot more goodies you can enjoy.

Relaxing time in Hida machiya "Sou"

We went to Hida Takayama area and stayed in "Sou", machiya (traditional japanese house) type inn in two-day and one-night tour starting on July 30th. Soon after we arrived at Takayama station, it started to rain. But thanks to pick up service by the machiya manager, we could comfortably arrive "Sou" for check-in.

Sou has 2 beds but if you ask beforehand, they can prepare futons depending on how many persons to stay. A little after, we went to the city center for sightseeing.

We ate famous "Takayama Soba (buckwheat noodle)" that was recommended by local people.

 It was big volume cold ramen with al dente needles. We ate them all !

In the evening, we went to the city center again to find a restaurant for dinner.We chose "Kitchen Hida" recommended by the local people and ate steaks of renowned Hida Beef. We enjoyed the beef to the fullest  ! The restaurant was full with local people at that night. Also that period was in the midst of radioactive straw issue but I saw a board saying that the restaurant only offer inspected beef.  What a relief !Hida is also famous with ham and beef-curry. Why don't you try them by yourself !

Then we walked around the city. 

Since most of shops were already closed, we enjoyed quietness of  traditional streets which were not changed for a long time.

Next morning, after we slept well as if we were at our home, breakfast time ---. We were free to choose where to eat breakfast so we decided to walk to a restaurant in front of Jinya early-morning bazaar. It took only 15 minutes to get there. That was typical Japanese breakfast !! We had famous dish called Hoba miso (miso on dried leaf called Hoba)  by mixing rice with miso and roasting it on Hoba leaf. Very tasty ! After the beautiful breakfast we went to Miyagawa morning bazaar before going back to the machiya to see many kinds of food stalls and cheerful shop keepers, usually elderly women.

In the inn, the manager generously prepared ceremonial tea

 and sweets for us. We had a long chat on Takayama ---.

We had a wonderful summer trip to Hida staying in "Sou", Japanese traditional machiya, in Takayama. 

You have to come and visit there on your own !!!
