Miyajima part 4 - Coffee, sake and the Torii

A quick note on sake: Sake is delicious. Almost always. There is, however, one exception to this rule, and that is as follows:

If you find a vending machine that sells sake, and you decide that the 60yen pink sake cup served in a plastic cup with a twist off cap, you MIGHT have picked the wrong sake...

Kuma-San is in for a surprise. Pink, late night sake from vending machine is not recommended.

Small breakfast at the ryokan, and off to find coffee.

Japan has a lot of small coffee roasters, and on Miyajima there are plenty of small roasters and coffee shops, but we quickly got a favorite. During our two day/one night stay, we visited this place probably five times!


Delicious coffee!
As the merry band of six traveling with Neko-San have learned,  CHOCOLATE is an international language. The first time in this coffee shop, we were blown away by the service and the coffee, and after drinking our coffee, Neko-San produced some of his chocolate, and offered to the girls behind the counter. They were, as the rest of the Japanese who got chocolate, very happy!

After consuming the chocolate, we got a small present back, a cup of iced cherry tea. Most Oishii tea ever! We all ended up buying, and we bought them empty :-P
