Since I was out for once in a long while, I decided to wander around the area. Mihonoseki sits at the very tip of the Shimane Peninsula. It’s mostly known for fishing, but a fair bit of traditional cultu…
One day in November.. the weather finally turned chilly and snow crab season came around again! Could anything make me happier.. Whenever crab season comes, the place I always go is Matsuya. It’s closed …

I plan my travel routes around dessert first. The whole reason I deliberately picked Tempura Mikawa for lunch was that I wanted to visit this café, which I’d had my eye on for a while. The entrance It…
