I'll be having the Awaji Island rich sea urchin pot!

And they look so delicious~

        

HOLY~ They are so fresh that you can eat it raw! 

I ate the sea urchin as a sashimi, and I went heaven~ It was so creamy and sweet!

The vegetables are also very sweet and juicy, mostly harvest on this island!

It was such a feast for us, the soup is so sweet and creamy, but not the type that makes you stop drinking the whole pot of it.

Just when you felt so full, comes dessert! 

Went back to our room and have a good soak in their beautiful wood bath tub~

Next, we enjoyed star gazing from our bed till we dozed off for the night in bed, which was super comfy in this magical little town at night~

Rise and shine~ 

Arriving at my table and wonder whats inside~ A bento?

The morning breakfast blew my mind away... I'm so spoilt, this is a breakfast fit for the royalty!

I really like the fresh made tofu (boiled infront of you), charcoal-grilled Setouchi fish, the famous Awaji soup with rolled egg and Awajishima grown rice. Then again, the pickles and other side dishes also taste great!

Even my bean have gold flakes! MUM~ I'm having gold for breakfast~
