good morning sanraku

for someone who usually doesn't wake (or eat) before noon, this sumptuous feast for breakfast was at the same time a real treat, and shock to the system. but i persevered and finished everything. and the japanese rice was divine. nothing like japanese rice in japan. japanese rice outside japan is not japanese rice. and rice that isn't japanese, well... ;)

it's not a ryokan without steaming hot onsen! come by tomorrow for a sneak peek into the men's onsen, if you would like.
