Fuji (Wisteria) in Ishii, 04-25-2013

The other day I finally went and had the special lunch at Yukinko bakery down the  street.  I've bought bread there - I think it's the best bakery in Tokushima - it has 'real' European breads (not just soft and or sweet Japanese bread).  I had lunch there once before and had a declicious sandwich.  The special lunch comes with a piece of quiche, little salad, little soup and something else.  This had a piece of beef or pork cooked with beans.  It also comes with a drink and a little dessert - this day's was a delicious tiny little creme brulee.  AND it comes with a plate of 5  1/2 pieces of various breads/rolls and a little bag for what you can't eat (of the bread).  The bread was delicious, the rest was just ok.
 


 
Today I went to Ishii, a neighboring town, with Hiroko and 3 of her friends to see the wisteria.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day.  At least 70 with a bright blue sky.  The wisteria were mostly at temples so that was nice.  Afterwards we went to that great coffee/bread restaurant that I'd been to before with Hiroko and her friend.  Great sandwiches.  And I finally tried iced cocoa.  Not bad at all!
 

At the entrance people were selling flowers, crafts, senbei, souveniers, etc.
