Breakfast is included in our room rate, and it is a feast of about 10 different dishes, always including miso soup, rice, various pickled vegetables, egg, strange salads and the local delicacy nozawana, a green leafy vegetable cooked in the hot mineral springs that run through the town. There is usually fish of some kind, and a hot dish cooked on a little burner on the table - today was frankfurter on bean shoots, which I gave a miss. Photo of today's breakfast is below.
We have lunch at a little restaurant on the slopes, usually a bowl full of soba (buckwheat noodles), or curry rice.
It is a vegetarian paradise, as there is lots of seaweed, mushrooms, and tofu on offer. For the first time in my life I have no trouble exceeding the recommended daily intake of vegetables. To make sure we don't get too healthy, we stock up on ice cream and chocolate on the way down from the slopes.
