Each morning at Kiriya Ryokan began with an artful Japanese -
style breakfast: bite - size portions of grilled salmon or mackerel, soy - and - sugar - stewed carrot, white miso soup warmed tableside, a small school of tiny candied wakasagi fish, steamed vinegared potato, white rice, and an addictive treat of soy - and - sugar - boiled hamburger, which was unexpected,
especially in spoonful size.
