Karatsu and mountains...

This weekend, we did a lot of hiking. Rainseason is coming and soon it will be too hot and humid for that. On Saturday, we hiked the whole Nijinomatsubara beach at Karatsu... the beach is 5km long and it took us 2 hours to walk the 10 km total forth and back...

Later we had a delicious course at our fave place, the Nijinomatsubara Hotel...
The course was 1800 Yen ( about 20 Euros) and totally delicious, as always... I think I would pay 3 times more for the same arrangement and quality if I went to Europe.








Here is the kid's plate (10 Euro)

One day later we drove up in the mountains and picked some wild strawberries (Hebi-ichigo) and Rasberries for making jam...

and I could not resists, picking some Udo (Aralia cordata) for Tenpura...




After a few kilometers, I also got a bunch of woodruff for my Maywine :D
The funny thing is, normally woodruff does not grow here and I only found it in 3 spots in Kyushu so far... all of them are well known hiking spots and a lot of hobby hikers recently come here... so maybe one of them brought the seeds accidentally on his backpack or boots... I just realized, when we hiked down, the seeds sticked to my clothes and boots as well... anyway, thanks to the hikers, I have my Maywine here, too :D
