   Spent 2 hours in Kobe.

   This is Nishimura Coffee, a French-style cafe in a Bavarian-style building. Their espresso wasn't great though.

     I'm spending the night at ryokan in Arima Onsen (有馬温泉), a hot spring resort near Kobe. #japan

     Ryokans tend to serve great washoku breakfasts 😋

     This one is 100% #vegan, and 3 times what I'd normally eat in the morning.

     Detail of the kozara (small plates, 小皿).

     From top-left, clockwise:
     - Soba with tororo (薯蕷, grated yam),
     - Black soybean nattō (never seen it before doesn't taste much different),
     - Aemono (和え物),
     - Cold tofu with negi.

     On the left, nori seaweed and tsukemono (漬物).

     On the right side, three pieces of agedashi tofu (揚げ出し豆腐), which is one of my favorite #vegan washoku:

     And the salad is just an ordinary salad, but nice and fresh.

     It's common for ryokan to have relaxation rooms with large windows for nature contemplation.

     This one also has a rotenburo (open air bath) with a forest & mountain view 🤩
