Momiji Tempura and Croquettes: Local Specialty

The Leaf Croquette Stand

Mino doesn't have a local delicacy (as in, a dish) but when you visit, there is a food you are supposed to eat and that is the momiji/koyo tempura (Deep-fried autumn leaves). Rarer but still festive are the momiji/koyo croquettes. In both cases the leaf does not really contribute anything to the taste, so trying it is mostly just for the experience and gets you ready to experience nature (after eating it!).

There are many stands that sell them along the lower part of the trail. One of the upper stalls was even featured on the NHK, the national Japanese TV station.

Magnificent view from a hotel restaurant

It is on a mountain in northern Osaka.. so you can enjoy Osaka view from the windows!
If you want, you can go outside (terrace) and drink coffee there. :-)
Sometimes, monkeys will try to get your cookies! Take care. hahaha

Favorite Dish: Japanese style lunch box.(about 1500yen)
