    もう10年も前になる。今回も湖畔の食堂で遅い昼食を摂った。2階から湖畔を眺めながらの食事ではあった。「Ｂ級グルメ」として名を馳せた物らしいが「Ｂの4乗級」の食べ物であった。(タマネギは美味しかった。)この「ばら焼き」タマネギばかりが，やけに目立つ。妻はきりたんぽの鍋をオーダーしていた。1階でお土産を物色し，車を駐めたまま「乙女の像」に向かう。

Aomori Areas

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
