Kiyosato - Lots of Food

Here are some pictures of our trip to Kiyosato last month. The cool mountain air is such a pleasant change from the city in summer

grilling some burgers & vegetables on the tempanyaki


grilling is one of the things I miss the most in Tokyo

kanpai!!!




Kinoto's tomodachi (friend)




the Kiyosato region is predominantly argicultural, which means we get to enjoy very cheap and very fresh fruits and vegetables when we are there. Most of the farms are relatively small and family owned, with the production process being less mechanized that is typical in the US.

yakisoba for breakfast




this time it is Kinoto trying to avoid the smoke




a perfect fried egg over a wood fire







a not so perfect transition from the grill to the plate
