That nabe looks delicious, small fishes are indeed a huge pain to eat I always preferred salt water fishes. My wish to be able to visit Japan someday, ryokans in particular sound like wonderful places to stay.

In consideration of "foreign guests", the ryokan may give priority to "private bath" rather than "big bath".
This time it is a private bath.
If you do not mind the nakedness of others, it's better to head to the public bath.

"local cuisine"Baked fish dish using flat rock.
By using rocks, it seems that the bones also become soft.

Well ... if you like fish dishes it will be delicious.
I am a bit weak for miso taste fish dishes. :p

You have my attention when you said deer meat, aka venison, croquettes..

I avoid river fishes like plague precisely because they have too many bones. The rest looks really palatable.

The Onsen looks cute and funny. I rather just have a shower tbh. Japanese spends so much time and effort preparing their meals its almost "painful' to eat them.

Your entire setting picture reminds me of a standard meal for a Japanese. This is debatable but my impression is the setting looks great as always but its not that filling. I thought they have mayonnaise for the pork chop; looks a bit dry. I like the setting for Korean food too, well from shows though they usually have a lot of marinated food as side dishes. French cuisine from my impression is exquisite and refine, very expensive so I haven't have the opportunity to try but not filling too. Chinese, at least from where I live have larger plates of dishes for cuisines, although they can make an exquisite setting but mainly they present in dishes which is much more for sharing imo.

I really like settings for meals. From young my mum would cook 1 soup and several dishes to go for dinner. Nowadays, as she is older and only 3 in the household now, I prefer to eat more healthy food and lesser variety. Although its always great to see lots of different dishes on the table but its never the kind of setting the Japanese, Koreans and the French have. Maybe since you've ate so many different cuisines, you can enlighten me more on the subject. :D
Cheers, Cruse~

can we join you please???!!!

Have a BUMP, Jatan ^__^

The mushrooms in the nabe dish are beautiful!

Bump.

The picture makes those mushrooms look like they would have a weird texture.
