Our laboratory members went to a YANA, fishing weir or kiddle according to my dictionary, place. (Please see the website: Japanese only) A variety of Ayu, sweetfish according to the dictionary, dishes we had is given to the photo below.
Right one in bowl is "Ayu Zou-sui", which is boiled rice cooked win soup of the Ayu. The middle top of one fish in dish is grilled Ayu with special miso source, called "Dengaku-miso". The left top dish is "Sio-yaki", meaning simple broiling with a salt. The left bottom is deep-fried one, and the middle bottom is stewed in soy sauce with sweetener "Kan-ro-ni". These all are a course for one person!!.

For the last day of my brother's stay, we went to Nagoya castle. It's sunny but pretty cold since yesterday. After the visit we went to Sakae and then took a walk for Ohsu.

BBQ

I joined BBQ of my friend in Tokyo. It was held in Harumi harbor. In the photo shown below, you can see strange (?) stuff, which is actually "Yaki-Manzyu". Simple buns with a sweet "Miso" source that is a local food in my home town. I was not so sure whether they like it or not. Actually, they especially children like it. I was happy with this.
Drinking and eating, of course, and playing with children, which was fun but to be honest get tried as they are so powerful: playing football, feeding ants around their nest, climbing tree and so on. They were so excited and then I was exhausted.
It was basically cloudy and not so hot, good for BBQ. I could have very fun and enjoyable time: it is also good holiday.

I and my family went to Mt. Myogi in Gunma Pref. It isn't so high but pretty tough for us. As u can see climbing with a help of chain is hard and scared. Just one and half hrs ways were enough for us. It's holiday!
