The Best Place Ever

The Hida-Takayama area is in the mountains of Japan, well-removed from the coast. This makes it one of the few places where you can "point and shoot" at an unreadable menu and not get something with raw fish, fish eggs, or dried fish flakes in it. In fact, this area is famous for their delicious beef. This evening, we revisited the Best Place Ever for a delicious meal of Hida beef with Houba miso (the local variety, also much better than in Nagoya). Mmmmmmm...a little taste of heaven! Since we'd last been here just a month ago, the owners remembered us, which was pretty cool. Mike and Mark got the house's complimentary sake, and I got a yummy little purple donut thing, apparently an Okinawan specialty. Seriously. The Best Place EVER.
