That's right, let's go to Okayama (Nissei)!

I came to Hinase Town in Okayama Prefecture, where you can eat delicious oysters 🦪. Okayama Prefecture is also known for Bizen ware. As I passed by Gomi Market in the middle of the oyster festival, I stopped by Takara Hachiman Shrine on my way there. I was surprised to see that the lion statues were Bizen ware! And as I passed by Saienji Temple (photo 3), the shachihoko (a shachiko) on the roof? (on the roof on the left) is probably Bizen ware as well. Hinase Town is a town famous for oysters, and it is located on the coast, so you can get to small islands such as Azuma Island by ferry. Oh, Azuma Island is connected by road and bridge, so you can also get there by bus. And a biryani restaurant that is known only to those in the know opened this year. They have oyster biryani, as well as vegan, chicken, and vegetable biryani. The biryani is delicious to die for, but reservations are required. They will also open a cafe section in the warmer season. For more details, check out #choutarahinase on Instagram. I wasn't able to take a good photo of my biryani, so I wondered if I should post it here. In fact, it looks even better than it looks! Please check out Choutara's Instagram. I think you should eat the biryani here so much that you'll get change back even if you make the effort to come here. And then I went to Okayama City. The cute yellow Ako Line runs very few trains on weekends, so be careful. And in Okayama City, I went to Milenga, a famous curry restaurant, and had a curry set. Okayama is hot for curry!! #choutarahinase #OkayamaTrip #HinaseTown #milenga
