Miura Kaigan Sakura Part 2

After sakura viewing, we went to grab lunch at my favourite kaiten sushi in Japan - Sushi Ro!


This was their seasonal fried tuna ramen which was good.



The creamy creamy seafood croquette was ok. But I guess for the price, they can't pack too much seafood in it.



I got a hotate ramen which was delicious.



Ebi furai sushi is always good.



J got coffee and I got the tobikko lol.



The lightly torched hotate was delicious. This plate here allows you to compare the torched one to the raw one. Juicy and sweet~



One thing that I really like about Sushi Ro is that they change their seasonal menu frequently. So you always get to try new things there.


This kabhocha tempura is a must order every single time I visit!



Fried squid~



For dessert, they had this fondant chocolate which was really good actually for the price that you pay.



After lunch, we slowly made our way back to the station and we passed by a beach along the way.


Love the clear blue sky during winter.



Even though it was cold, it feels nice to just get some sea breeze.



Near the station, we spotted a stall selling locally produced vegetables and we decided to buy some.



They had this red daikon which I have never seen before. I was really tempted to get it but decided not to because I was already getting the miura daikon which was HUGE!



Look at the size of this daikon~



I've never seen a daikon that's that fat before, I had to pose with it with the sakuras too.



Bye-bye Miura-kaigan, you had been beautiful and fun!



Once home, I immediately made good use of the daikon for oden and salad. Look at it's width!!!

I made 2 pots of oden and I still had extra!

Miura Kaigan Sakura Part 1

Miura Kaigan for Sakura~


The species here is Kawazu sakura, just like the ones in Kawazu area, which is why they bloom early that the somei-yoshino.



The very moment you step out of the staion, you will be greeted by this beautiful view.



Kawazu sakura trees are everywhere!



There are signs from the station that leads you to where the main sakura area is. But when you're unsure, just follow the crowds.



Soon you will arrive at a path with nanohana below the sakura trees.



The contrast between the pink and yellow is really nice.



From an over head bridge, one can take very nice pictures of the sakura tress.


We took a slightly different route on the way back to the station and walked past this cabbage patch.



Look at all the daikon!



Love all these cabbage like flowers!



Not sure what they're called, but they're common during winter.



There were still many people along the path as we returned.
