Hatcho Miso… The product of Okazaki. What Okazaki is most famous for.

I finally had a chance to visit it upon an invitation by my Japanese friend whom herself had not been there before…

Anyway it was pretty fun although really half of the time we didn’t know what the guide was saying. My friend had to say it to us again slowly. Haa… but then the food tasting was the good part! Got to eat a lot of food.

Anyway it was interesting how the miso was made. It was being put into this barrel (which according to the guide, only 3 people in Japan knows how to make the barrel) and then, a lot of rocks was place on top of it to compressed the beans I think..

Ok… after that it was still early, so the foursome decided to go to the park to look at the plum blossoms and sit down to talk. The plum blossoms was great! It was so beautiful! Cannot resist taking a lot of pictures! Can’t wait for cherry blossoms to come too!
