It's summer here and we stayed at this homestay type place. We slept in a tatami room - mats on the floor. The place had been built by an older couple (older than us - but still young - ha!). The food was really something. The lady of the house did all the cooking. She made lunch and dinner for us and each meal which was for 9 of us had 8 or 9 different dishes. They had a trout farm and a chicken run - so each morning you'd see the maid go down and bring back a couple of chickens and just before lunch the man of the house would scoop up a couple of trout. Of course mum and I avoided the chicken but that's how fresh the food was. The tofu was also picked off the tree just before meal prep. OK, I am going a bit too far - but really you would have loved the food, this woman was amazing - and she had such a glory in what she did. She took such good care of us. On the last night, she'd had enough of cooking so the photo is of us having dinner at a restaurant - she took her family and us there and paid for the meal. Pretty good - but not nearly as good as hers.
