Takayama

Sophisticated typical Japanese toilets, butt warmers. 3 hr train to Takayama from Kanazawa. Had amazing Hida beef. My meal was a combo plate that I cooked a little more. Laura grilled hers. "Hida-gyu" (Hida Beef) is the specific name given to beef from a black-haired Japanese cattle breed, that has been raised in Gifu. Other Grades of Hida beef are called "Hida Wagyu" Kobe beef aims for a strict balance between akami (red, leaner meat) and shimofuri (fat marbling), Hida beef tends to have a greater amount of shimofuri, making it extra juicy, tender and giving that true melt-in-the-mouth.
