There's a limit of five mushrooms per person, so you have to take care in how you select and pluck a mushroom,<\/span> to maximize your take. If they were<\/span> stuck together, they were considered one mushroom, so we tried to find groups.<\/p>\n\n

They sell out pretty quickly, and we were later than we'd like, so we didn't have all that much of a selection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

At some point while rolling around in the basket the big group of\nmushrooms Anthony had picked broke apart, so our plan fell astray. It was a<\/span>\ngood lesson in what can happen when you try to be greedy. I doubt<\/span> they\nactually enforce the five-mushroom limit with the strictness of the Soup\nNazi, but we didn't want to flout the rules and stopped our foraging.<\/p>\n\n

We then moved over to the restaurant where we order meats and veggies to grill along side our mushrooms...<\/p>\n\n

The mushrooms were not the same class as seen in\n“<\/span>Feasting Like Indulgent Royalty on Matsutake Mushrooms<\/a>”<\/span>\nbut they were still quite tasty.<\/p>\n\n

The intermittent rain had let up and Anthony was itching to get some energy out, perhaps by kicking around a soccer<\/span> ball, so we\npaid the ¥220 per person to visit the Yamabiko no Mori<\/i> (\u5c71\u3073\u3053\u306e\u68ee) play area without really knowing what to expect...<\/p>\n\n
