Eating dinner at the Hinakaya restaurant, which is an old historic house that is surrounded by beautiful mountains and a river.
"Hinakaya" is a restaurant located in the beautiful countryside of Miyagawa, which is the clearest stream in Japan. This is a place to eat traditional Japanese food in the beautiful Japanese nature and it was awarded a Michelin star. The traditional architecture of old Japan that I experienced there, made eating feel more special than eating at a normal restaurant.
In addition, I was able to feel the splendor of Mie because all the dishes were made with ingredients grown there. Mie Prefecture is home to a treasure trove of ingredients throughout the four seasons.
This experience of eating delicious food in a historic Japanese house, so close to the calming natural atmosphere was a perfect way to taste all that Japan has to offer. It was a kind of luxury and felt that I was being fed the greatness of Japan.
