JPN: Hotel Park (ホテルパーク) [Breakfast]

Hearty breakfast in a tranquil setting!

In Gifu, I stayed at Hotel Park somewhere along Nagara River. Its breakfast was a delightful way to start the day, offering a traditional Japanese set meal that reflected both balance and seasonality. Served in a peaceful dining area, it was a quiet indulgence that allowed me to appreciate the thoughtfulness behind each dish.

Colourful and tasty altogether!

Assorted Stuff #1

I started with the fresh salad bowl featuring crisp lettuce leaves, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and ham slices. The poached egg with light soy sauce was silky and satisfying. I saved the plain yogurt with fruit cocktail for last.

Assorted Stuff #1

Classic Japanese breakfast staples were served: grilled mackerel, miso soup, pickles and rice. Additionally, there was a bowl of simmered vegetables that highlighted their natural sweetness. There were also side dishes in small portions, such as omelette roll, whitebait and pollock roe, creating a well-rounded meal.

Fish Paste

A dollop of paste, which I suspected was made of fish, was served atop a dried leaf serving as a natural canvas. Topped with chopped spring onions, it leaned more towards sweetness than a savoury taste profile, which went well with rice.

Beverages

Drinks are self-service, with both coffee and tea being potent enough for my liking. I also had a glass of milk for a little calcium boost. Pika's advice: Fret not, fruit juice lovers! Apple, orange and even tomato juice is available.
