February itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Hyogo Meal edition) (Thursday, February 24) Table of contents 1. Sasayama Castletown Hotel NIPPONIA 2. Ekiben “Buta meshi (Pork rice)” 3. Kanbei 4. Nakai 1. Sasayama Castletown Hotel NIPPONIA I had breakfast at Sasayama Castletown Hotel NIPPONIA. The breakfast using local ingredients such as “Yamanoimo (Japanese yam)”, which is a specialty of Tanba Sasayama, and Tajima beef was very delicious. It was a very satisfying breakfast. I felt it was better than the dinner French course the day before. Especially, “Yamanoimo (Japanese yam)” was very delicious. “Yamanoimo” from Tanba Sasayama has a round shape and is also called Yamatoimo. Compared to yam, it is much more sticky and has a good flavor. In autumn and winter, the Tanba region may be filled with thick fog called Tanba fog due to the temperature difference. This climate with a large temperature difference grows delicious “Yamanoimo”. The breakfast restaurant was the same place as for dinner. The restaurant was made by making good use of an old folk house, and the courtyard seen from the window was also wonderful. It was a very calm restaurant. 2. Ekiben “Buta meshi (Pork rice)” I bought an ekiben
