Washism

We r back from our mini holiday in Wakkanai!

And, saw what the northest part of Japan looks like during its short short summer.

Even in the midst of summer, it was so cool, we needed our jackets! cant imagine how the people there live through winter.

Being a very mountainous area with relatively dry and cool climate,

there were pretty flowers everywhere

And blessed with the Ohotsuku sea and the Sea of Japan surrounding,

we satisfied our tum tums with plenty of good seafood

Moutain full of Uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon roe) topped on rice

Again, mountain full of salmon and ikura topped on rice

Meals were filled with gorgeous servings of fresh sashimi we really cant forget.

And for awhile, i can do without seafood.

Not that i am sick of it, but really, after youve gone so near to the best, it will be hard to satisfy our dearly pampered taste buds for quite some time to come.

The enchanting sunset at Noshap bay area

Ahhhhhhh................ it was indeed a very very beautiful trip, and i am still in super relaxed mode..............................
