July, 2009: Sapporo to Fujinomiya, Shizuoka




After the unevenful Furano trip, it is time to zip back to Honshyu, and onwards to Shizuoka.

It's the same night train Hamanasu, so there isn't much to write about, except.....

The two times I crossed the undersea tunnel, I have notice some of the Japanese chomping on what looks like really delicious bento from the Aomori platform kiosk. I made a mental note that I must have it.
It turns out the bento is a Saba Sushi bento. Unlike must sushi with pieces of raw fish on vinegared rice, this has a generous slab of saba (mackerel) grilled with light soy sauce on rice. It tasted good because the fish was really fatty (must be because of the cold rough sea in the area.) You can feel your lips turning glossy from the fish fat. Yummy.
