Uomasa (魚真)| Sushi Bar | Otaru (小樽)

I enjoyed a huge amount of sushi set for lunch today. This is "Uomasa (魚真)" near JR Otaru Station

Hello!!!

Look at the menu↓ All of them are very reasonable!!!!

This is "Uomasa Nigiri (魚真にぎり)"↓ Can you believe that this sushi set is only 2,600 yen???? Wow! Wow! Wow! Unfortunately I don't like syari, rice part, very much, but really impressed with the cost effectiveness!!!

The set includes abalone,

Botanebi prown, Sakhalin surf clam,

sea urchin, and

Dobinmushi (土瓶蒸し), seafood and mushroom soup steam-boiled in an earthenware teapot↓

We were full!!!! Surprisingly, after lunch, we went to a cafe to eat cheese cake!!

Lake Toro (塘路湖)

As my tour guests asked me to drop by somewhere beautiful on the way back to Kushiro,  I chose Lake Toro (塘路湖).

Now is the best season to see autumnal leaves around here!

 We enjoyed trekking around the lake for a while.......

How beautiful and peaceful the lake is!!

Actually I sometimes come here during the summer time, because this lake is a famous spot for...............

canoeing!! I really love outdoor sports very much!

We were so excited to encounter wild animals such as red foxes......
