Same time last year, I waned to visit this beautiful mountain, but between my busy schedule and the unstable weather, I missed it.
Determined not to repeat the tragedy, I woke up early a few days ago, treated myself to one of my favourite Tokyoite breakfast meals, as you can see in the photo to your left; nothing fancy, just your regular baked and mashed beans with garlic and lemon, with a drizzle of olive oil, and some green leaves of a slightly radish tangy taste, and little of Yuzu zest on top. Next to that, is my special autumnal salad, that changes according to season, with your thin Lebanese bread.
I guess we are ready to go now.
Being as close as -or closer than- my university, going there was nothing more than a few flips of pages in my Hiking in Japan book. The transportation couldn't be more convenient.

humble rock, Suiseki--or the Asian art of beautiful stones--was born.
Suiseki is a bit like bonsai, except it features small rocks and
pebbles rather than miniature trees." Willi Benz, Suiseki: The Asian Art of Beautiful Stones
Several years ago, I came across this tempting Japanese confectionery in one of my books about Tea Ceremony. Ever since, I longed to try it. So, here I am in Japan, indulging myself with the wide variety of Nerikiri.
But what more, is that I became curious to see how it is made, but never got the chance to.
A few days ago, I was walking in a shopping centre, when I passed by a place called ABC Cooking Studio, where you learn how to cook several local and international dishes yourself. On their menu, I saw the Nerikiri displayed, and didn't think twice:
