Oita, Japan 2

Mama, Ryoko and I went to Bungo Takada to eat crabs. This town is famous for this crab called Gazami and we heard they are VERY delicious so here we go! We saw a lot of seafood at this store. "Excuse me, could we have three crabs, please? Yeah, those big ones!." We also got another one to Akiko who is working at home today.
ママ、涼子そして私で豊後高田まで蟹を食べに行きました。この町はがざみ蟹という渡り蟹で有名です。このお店ではたくさんの活き魚がいました。「すみません、蟹3匹お願いします。あっ、それその大きいやつ!」今日は家で仕事をしている亜紀子にもおみやげにもう一匹。


This is the Gazami crab before cooking.
料理前のがざみ蟹。


And after....this restaurant cooks the ones you picked from the fish tank. Crab miso soup also came with the dish. How was the crab? It was sweet and juicy and excellent! It was worth driving one hour to here.
そして料理後。ここではいけすから選んだ魚や蟹を料理してくれます。蟹定食には蟹味噌汁もついてきてこれまたおいしかった。がざみ蟹は身がとても甘くてジューシーでとてもおいしい。1時間ここまでドライブしてきたかいがあるってものです。

We also stopped at Futago ji and enjoyed the walking in the green. I love walking in the gardens of temples and shrines. They usually have a lot of trees and plants and very quiet so it is very soothing.
帰りに両子寺によって緑の中を歩きました。神社やお寺の境内を歩くのが大好き。緑が濃く静かな場所では心が休まります。
