A morning with a view of the sea!
On March 1 and 2, I went to Ehime for a two-day and one-night trip!
My partner was my usual junior colleague!
This will be a review of Ehime for a while, so please stay tuned!
Travel in Ehime (1)
From Osaka to Ehime by night bus
It took me 6 hours to get there, but I might not be able to take the night bus anymore...
My back and back ache and I can't sleep at all!
I arrived at Matsuyama station at 6 in the morning...
There was nothing around, so I walked 20 minutes to McDonald's!
So I managed to get here by renting a car!
Yes! This is my second breakfast of the day!
I saw konyharu's review of this café and thought that one day I would come here!
Here's my chance!
The store opens at 9:00 a.m. I arrived a little after 9:00 a.m., so I was the first customer!
We are seated at a table with a view of the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge.
The Shimanami Kaido starts from this bridge!
I'm going to order a morning plate for +200 yen and hot milk for 450 yen.
You can spend a relaxing time looking out over the sea and seeing big boats from small boats!
While waiting, the smell of bread and coffee makes me happy!
Hot milk, I like it with a little sugar!
It warms me up! Delicious!
The morning plate comes with salad, fried egg, toast and yogurt!
The toast is light and I'm sure it's buttered before it's cooked.
It's soaked in it, and it's also delicious!
I think this is cheap at +200 yen!
And the Tobe-yaki tableware, locally produced, is great!
Unfortunately, the weather made it difficult to see the view clearly,
but we were able to spend a relaxing and leisurely time.
Now, let's go cross the bridge we were looking at!
Which shall we take, a bicycle or a car?

I made a reservation and enjoyed mainly sushi at the counter. The ingredients were very fresh, and the sweetness intensified with each bite, making everything satisfying. The akou (a type of fish) and sea bream, along with the uni on top of the squid, were a perfect match. The sweet shrimp and red clam had a pleasant elasticity, and the salmon roe burst in my mouth. The hand rolls with plum and shiso, along with the fragrant seaweed, and the deep flavor of the red miso soup left me feeling happy until the end. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively, and the fatty tuna and the edges were of very high quality, which made me very satisfied.
