There must have been at least 20 different dishes in the meal. Simply the best eating experience ever. There were pickled veges, shabu shabu using Takayama beef, rice, sashimi, tempura, soup, both hot and cold dishes.We were served dinner in our room, and after that someone came to make our futon for the night. The whole process is as graceful as watching a dance.
The next morning, more dishes were served in our room for breakfast. I find this dish particularly eye catching - poached eggs in miso. The yolk when broken made for a beautiful display of bright orange against the brown of the miso.
After a hearty brekky we said goodbye to Hakone and set out for Nagoya. The raincloud followed us to Nagoya so Gaz decided I needed an upliftt. What better than a good unagi meal to lift my spirits!
The unagi grilled to perfection, simply melted in my mouth. The menu outlined the way to eat this pot of unagi rice - divide it to 4 portions. One portion to eat as is, 2nd portion with the condiments provided of seaweed, wasabi and spring onions, 3rd portion with the condiments and also some soup. The final portion to be eaten as you prefer. I loved the way the unagi blended nicely with the seaweed and spring onions so I had it that way.
