Food and stay at amanohashidate

By

One thing to note about Amanohashidate is the limited availability of early morning breakfast options. Unless you opt for a buffet breakfast at your accommodation, finding a place to eat early can be challenging. We found that the breakfast at our hotel was significantly more expensive than what you can find in the city. Therefore, we decided it wasn't worth the money and chose to have breakfast at Lawson instead.

During public holidays, many sole proprietor-owned restaurants are reluctant to take in orders without a reservation. This can make dining out a bit tricky, so it's a good idea to plan ahead and make reservations when possible.

  • STAY: Amanohashidate: The Gran Resort Amanohashidate

During my stay at The Gran Resort Amanohashidate, I found the room to be spacious and comfortable, although it lacked a bath. The first night was a bit challenging as we struggled to figure out the air conditioning, mistaking it for a heater. Despite opening the windows and using a fan, the night was warm and uncomfortable. Thankfully, the staff turned on the air conditioning for us on the second day, and our sleep improved significantly.


Bathing is done at the onsen area, which is large and comfortable. The resort provides snacks for guests to try, which are also available for purchase. The hotel is conveniently located next to the bay, offering fishing opportunities at the pier, though you need to bring your own rods.


  • EAT: Dinner at Showa Bussan 海楽味

During my stay at Amanohashidate, I had the pleasure of dining at Showa Bussan Kairakumi. We enjoyed a full teishoku dinner that was available late into the night. 

The menu offered two choices: broiled fish or a sashimi platter. We tried both, but I found the sashimi to be my favorite. The food was incredibly fresh and of good quality, although it was a bit disappointing that oysters were out of season.




After a long walk, we decided to stop at Hashidate Chaya for a meal. The foot-long fish cake was incredibly tasty, and while I believe the clam rice might have been a better choice, I opted for the clam udon instead. 


My husband chose the dango and yakisoba, which had a delightful okonomiyaki sauce stir-fry flavor. Although he wasn't a fan of the dango, the squid we ordered randomly was a pleasant surprise—fresh, sweet, and with a good bite.



  • EAT: Tea break at Cafe De Pin

After our delightful meal, we decided to chill at a cafe near Chionji Temple. The cafes in this area are known for their cozy ambiance and great coffee. Cafe De Pin is a popular choice, offering a relaxing spot with a view and average coffee.

  • EAT:  Dinner takeaway at Oda Sushi

During our stay, we found that there weren't many dining options nearby. I had shortlisted Oda Sushi, but unfortunately, they were not accepting more guests that day due to the public holiday. Fortunately, they agreed to let us take out, and we were able to enjoy their delicious sushi in the comfort of our accommodation.


The sushi and food from Oda Sushi were incredibly fresh and tasty. We ordered maguro tuna sashimi again, and this time it was even better than the last. Every sushi platter we ordered was absolutely delicious, making it a memorable dining experience despite the initial hiccup.
Final thoughts
Amanohashidate offers a blend of culinary delights and cultural experiences. While there are some challenges with dining options, especially during public holidays and early mornings, the quality of food and the unique experiences make it a worthwhile destination. 
Whether you're enjoying fresh seafood, relaxing at a cafe near Chionji Temple, or taking a scenic ferry ride, Amanohashidate has something special to offer.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

By
I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

By
I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

By
I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically.  By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
