Mar. 17
It was the second day in my ski trip.
The slope condition was fine.

I skied on the hard slopes a lot.



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.

Mr. Mippa Shioda, who is the owner & chef old friend of mine, and Banji Shioda , a son of Mippa ,welcomed me.

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!!

Finally, I moved to Echigo-Yuzawa station and had a nice sushi dinner with local wine.

Very good job!
Thank you very much!!
