Saitama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Omiya Aobaen/Kyoto Cuisine Sanmon I went to a tasting event the other day to hear that the menu had been renewed and that a limited-time menu had been introduced ✔︎Roast Beef Bowl A roast beef bowl made with plenty of A5-ranked roast beef from Saitama's brand beef Bushu Wagyu The owner and head chef visited the ranch to carefully select this Bushu Wagyu beef, which is a special dish that they decided on after careful consideration. It is made using vacuum low-temperature cooking for over an hour and a half so that the flavor of the marbled meat and the sweetness of the fat can be fully enjoyed without losing it✨ The homemade sweet and spicy sauce, packed with Kyoto black shichimi and the flavor of beef stock, is addictive🥹🥹 Actually, they've had a roast beef bowl before, but they renewed it in response to customer feedback With the renewal, it is garnished with white scallions and special egg yolks, but the price remains the same...! Wow, that's too generous & too kind to the wallet 👛🥹 I recommend it ← By the way, you can adjust the amount of rice to less or more for free! That said, the regular portion was quite filling 🤣🤣 ✔︎ Chilled peach and plum plate It's still hot, so chilled sweets are nice...! The bright-looking fruits are plum, white peach, pione, and apricot 4 kinds 🍑 Fruit, ice cream, and jelly are served on top of the homemade milk paste, and it's interesting to see how the texture and sweetness change over time 😌 You can also enjoy the change in taste by pouring white syrup containing white peach juice over it to your liking ◎ It looks good for those with a sweet tooth ✌️ After your meal at Sanmon, we recommend going to the Fan Corridor at the nearby Aobaen, which can only be enjoyed this season 🪭! 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 Aobaen 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇From the official website April-October 7:30-18:30 November-March 7:30-17:30 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website 5-1505 Mitsuhashi, Nishi-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama Take the Seibu bus from the West Exit of Omiya Station Take the bus bound for Sachigawahara Station from bus stop No. 5, get off at the Aobaen bus stop, and walk a short distance Kyoto Cuisine Sanmon From the official website of 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 Thursday to Tuesday 10:00 - 15:00 L.O. 14:30 Closed on Wednesdays From the official website of 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 5-934 Mitsuhashi, Nishi-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #gourmettrip #Saitama #Saitamatourism #Saitamagourmet #Omiya

This is a boat ride down the Arakawa River, a famous river in Nagatoro, Chichibu. It was autumn, so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of autumn leaves. We enjoyed the boatman's talk and the beautiful topography of Nagatoro. The rapids along the way were also a thrilling attraction. #autumnleaves #Nagatoro #Chichibu #SaitamaPrefecture

The mountain maples were a vivid crimson color. I passed many people walking their dogs. This is a walking course for locals. Listening to the sounds of wild birds and soaking up the negative ions of the trees, I was able to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feel refreshed. 📍Arashiyama Valley, Arashiyama Town, Saitama Prefecture #Autumn leaves #Ginkgo #Maple #Breathtaking view

It's a much smaller waterfall than Kegon Falls in Nikko, but it's one of my favorite waterfalls, including the surrounding scenery. The promenade to get there is narrow and thrilling!

There was a statue with a strange face above the waterfall ^ ^ 📍Chichibu Kegon Falls, Minano Town, Saitama Prefecture #Cool travel experience #Autumn leaves #Maple

Chichibu Railway Hakure Station (Hagure Station) A station on the Chichibu Railway Chichibu Main Line located in Sueno, Yorii-machi, Osato-gun, Saitama Prefecture. Opened as a Jobu Railway station in 1903, it became a Chichibu Railway station in 1916 when the company name was changed. The retro station building matches the mountains of Chichibu very well. The Chichibu Railway has a one-day unlimited ride ticket, so if you plan on getting on and off multiple times, it's a good idea to buy a ticket that suits your purpose. Note that there are few trains. I was able to see a variety of wrapped trains. #summertrip

Squeeze it yourself and take it home as a souvenir! Experience the joy of making soy sauce using carefully selected ingredients Kamikawa Town, located in the northwest of Saitama Prefecture, is an area rich in greenery and clear water. In this natural environment, Yamaki Brewing has been engaged in the production of miso, soy sauce, etc. since its establishment in 1902. The company insists on using domestic organically grown raw materials, and brews miso and soy sauce using traditional methods passed down from generation to generation. The rich aroma and mellow flavor are one of its greatest charms😋 One of the highlights of YAMAKI is the "soy sauce pressing experience" held on the 2nd floor of the directly-managed store "Koan"! You can squeeze the "moromi" (made by fermenting soybeans and wheat with koji and salt water) that has been aged in wooden barrels yourself and enjoy the aroma and flavor that can only be experienced when it is freshly squeezed. The squeezed soy sauce will be bottled, labeled with an original label, and taken home as a souvenir. After the experience, it is recommended to take a break in the attached cafe. You can enjoy meals and desserts made with YAMAKI brewing products🍵🍡 Store Name YAMAKI Brewing Store Location 955 Akuhara, Odashimo, Kamikawa-machi, Kodama-gun, Saitama Prefecture Opening hours 11:00 - 17:00

If you like shrines, you should visit the famous Mitsumine Shrine at least once. It's located deep in Chichibu, so I didn't have a chance to go there, but I finally managed to go during the autumn leaves season🍁! The air was different from the parking lot, and the atmosphere became more and more sacred, and there were power spots scattered around✨ However, it has become a very popular tourist spot, so it is very crowded💦Please be careful about the time when you go around! I would like to go back and pray at my own pace again. 📍Location: 298-1 Mitsumine, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture #0 yen trip #Mitsumine Shrine #Shrine #Power Spot #Chichibu #Saitama
