2012 GOLDEN WEEK FAMILY TRIP -Day 2 Part 1-

As I updated Day 1 posts, I realized this is a food blog. Not a “adventure” blog. Initially I was intended to write about my everyday’s lives, what I think and how I feel. Or what I do and care is only food? Maybe that is true. I feel happy when I think about food and food makes me happy :)

Anyways, on the 2nd day we woke up at  6-6:30am, took a onsen *again* and had breakfast at 8:30am in the dining hall. It was a buffet and I love buffet breakfasts. My youngest sister prefers a set meal because she gets confused which and how much she should pick out from wide variety of choices. For me, I just take whatever it looks good and I like.

This is my breakfast. Oh, wait. There is more…!

At 3pm, we arrived a the hotel Sansuikaku of Osawa Onsen in Hanamki, Iwate. This hotel is surrounded by mountains and standing by the river, we enjoyed our time in our room and relaxed more than at home. Besides, the dinner was good. Very good :)

Our dinner main dish sukiyaki. Look at these beef slices (on the right bottom)!

After enjoying beautiful cherry blossoms at the shrine, we headed to the port side to fill up our stomach.

But we didn’t know any particular dining places there and just drove around the port area.

Luckily, we found this small yet nice sushi restaurant. On the lunch time, it seems like they only offer donburi (fish or other food on the top of rice) and all of us ordred “kaisen-don” so that we could have different kinds of seafood in one bowl.
