Then I was very tired.

 

I finished ski before afternoon.

Then I went to Echigo-Yuzawa and had a very fine Soba lunch at Nakanoya.

The local soba, which is cold “Hegi-Soba”, was outstandingly delicious.

After lunch, I went to Andra Montagne, which is a fine restaurant hotel in Shiozawa.

I saw a remodeled main dining.

There is a new chef’s table.

 

Banji will go to Austria next week to study wine making for a while.

 

Good luck!!
