Garden-so

I stayed at a traditional Japanese place that I loved!  It wasn't fancy and it was very inexpensive. It's a cash only business, no credit cards.The cost included dinner and breakfast everyday. The place is owned, run, and all the cooking done by a charming 80 year old, who told me to call her Eiko-ba.  In addition to all the cooking and running the place, she also makes omiyage out of hachijo lemons and other fruits and vegetables.

The dining room






I forgot my camera the first evening, but here are the other meals I ate.  Lots of fresh fish and local vegetables. One day I saw a fisherman deliver a fish that took both arms to bring in.  That became dinner sashimi.








New Year's breakfast







I want to stay here again!

Rice, fish, eggs seem to be dominant food. That's the best food, with addition of some veggies or pasta. No need to go further, delicious and filling.
The place, the woman, the food are all very tempting!

What a fantastic place! I absolutely love the leaf-print glass. Do you know if it was actually the glass made that way or if it was a stick-on type? Either way, love, love, love! The food looks awesome too. I've always enjoyed Japanese cuisine but wow, does it make a lot of dishes to wash!
