So-called "Kaiseki Ryouri " !

by Kazu

A cube of sesame curd was my first choice to eat for dinner on that day. Soaked in transparent broth,  sesame curd stimulate our appetite so much.

This is steamed pumpkin. It was so sweet but some kind of broth infiltrated in it. We felt we were so happy in the comfy space.  

 This is the contents of the black pot. Sliced ed snapper, clam, Chinese lettuce and mushroom were boiled with kelp and dried fermented bonito. Sliced raw fatty tuna, shrimp and flat fish followed.

Culinary Entertainment !

by Kazu

I think grilling or boiling in front of the guests must be a kind of entertainment and appetite the guests so much. The shape of the pot is not typical.

 A variety of dishes decorated with culinary delights sourced locally were in front of us. I din't like to be called "Digital bower" but I can not resist to take photos of the dishes.

So nice aroma came from the pot on the fire. It was  the harmony of the aroma of cooked seafood and veggies.
Yam ?

What makes us happy !

After raising glass, the starter was served to us. What do you think about the dish. Soup potato topped with green horse radish was accompanied by sliced potato with broth made of kelp and dried and fermented bonito.

To be honest, I felt heartwarming hospitality with the first dish. If I could show my goodwill with some kind of tangible items, I would be so happy in front of my favorite people.

The paste of soup potato absorbed the broth so much  and made us so happy to wrap up the starter. Steamed clams and a slice of red-snapper followed.

Feast !

What do you think about the display on the wall ? The hospitality of the staffers and hotelier got the tangible shape on the wall.

Some parts of the wall are cut off to accommodate some works of art. They are so simple but tasty. The soft contrast make us feel so comfortable.  

 This bottle of wine was our choice on that night. The label shows the name of the brewery "Hokkaido Wine". That was the best choice, we thought .

Happiest ?

Why do the people looking the flame under the control  feel so good? The fire might have fend off animals that might attacked human beings.

 Needless to say, it has given and even now give us warmness since a human being stole that from the sky.

 Having enough happy time in front of the fireplace, we headed to the place to savor enough the culinary delicacies sourced locally. You can see the happiest person on this globe below.

Grilled Marshmallow !

by Kazu

What do you think we are doing in front of the fireplace.
We are grilling a piece of marshmallow in the flame of fireplace at  the center of lobby floor.

We usually do that after enjoying BBQ in the occasion of day-camping or real one-night stay camping. It seems that the hotelier knows about the campers behavior enough.  

Having a nap in front of the fireplace is so nice and particularly, surrounded many books including photo books, it may be the vary best of happiness for us.

Consideration to the guests !

Only six or seven rooms are on each floor. Flower arrangements welcome the guests on each floor . Old taste furniture may give a twist to the atmosphere.

I am not sure how old these furniture are but I am sure that it costs a small fortune. The Japanese lamp cover made of Japanese traditional paper gives a nice shadow to the furniture.

After bathing, we sat back and stretch our legs in front of the fireplace at the center of lobby floor. It was so nice time. Watching the flame, we talked about everything until dinner. Believe me, you should try the hotel.
