As you know, this is Japan. so many people enjoy autumn leaves in this month.
And here in Tochigi we have one of the most famous spots for enjoying autumn leaves. It is NIKKOU.
It means in this season the roads to NIKKO are very crowded.
So --
we avoided Nikko and went to KARASUYAMA to enjoy autumn leaves
However, it was too early to enjoy autumn leaves.
We didn't mind. In Karasuyam there is a small fall, though in Nikkou there are some big falls.
Some trees changed the color.
We knew the roads were not crowded, however we left home around 7 without having our breakfast.
Because on the way to Karasuyam, there is an interesting café which only serves breakfast from 7 to 11.
Of course on the way home we dropped by at the café.
This style seems to be very popular in Nagoya which is between Tokyo and Osaka.
When the owner's couple went to Nagoya, they were into this style, and decided to serve this type of breakfast in Utsunomiya.
When the owner retired, he and his wife renovated their house and opened this café.

The first time I tasted sweet bean paste was during my day trip to Nikko. I do not think it would be popular here...it’s too “bland” for most typical American palates....just as most of our desserts and candies are too sweet for Japanese taste. And that is probably a very good reason Americans are much more overweight than Japanese! Jan
Thanks for your comments, Jan. Though for me sweet red been pate is too sweet, anyway people (ladies) who want to lose their weight and can't stop eating seeets, are Usually advised to,change their usual sweets into Japanese sweets. The main reason is that Japanese sweets usually don!t include butter or fat.
