Budou gari and picnic...

~budou~

As i mentioned in my previous post, our cuti raya fall on silver week holiday. Even though it's holiday but we still went to the lab for two days and the remaining one day holiday..we went to budou gari (grape picking) with kak su and family...the actual plan was..a trip to okama..the famous crater at Yamagata-ken. The best season to visit there is during autumn as the leaves start to change to different kind of autumn colors..but sadly...we have to canceled it due to some reason..we dont know how to reach the place..the main reason we wanted to go was... there was this group from Turkey planned to go there and kononnya nak tumpang sekaki..but we misunderstood..we thought they were going to Okama on Tuesday... but actually it's on Wednesday...and we have to go to the lab..tak ada rezeki huhu..but we did enjoy our budou gari..nasib baik ada back-up plan..kalau kak su tak ajak tak merasa la cuti silver week..so called cuti hehe...kak su did mention about picnic as well..plan nak bawa something but wake up that morning buat donut..tak jadiiiiii... owh tidakkk.... what happened.. before this ok jer...wasted my time that morning..nasib baik tak lambat jumpa di checkpoint 99. Or the other name in japanese 99=kyukyu.

Bila hari cuti..maknanya,, jalan jem strawberry.. semua orang keluar makan angin and our car tak terkecuali tersangkut sama dalam jem yang sungguh tidak sedap itu..hehe..or the correct one should be huhu... the journey was supposed to be about 1 hour..became 2 hours...and then when we arrived there banyak sanagt orchard to choose..kak su and family wanted the purple big budou which most of them were meant for selling and not for picking..only green budou are available.. we went to several spots..last2 dah malasa nak cari..most of the shop said the same thing..maka agak kachiwa la jugak..this shop gave us some of their green budou to try..mm.. manis tapi tak semanis that purple one..plus it cost us about 500 yen and you can eat as much as and also as long as you want..no limit..hmm..interesting..and later after that the onwer..my love and i just called him pakcik..of course without his knowing..because we didnt know his name.. so nak senang pakcik la apa lagi hehe..he will show us a very noce spot for picnicking or barbeque. Lagi la teruja..kami sekadar ikut jer..kak su's husband abang faizul did all the talking and searching..he's been in nihon for all his study life..started from undergraduate, master and now finished his PhD..whoa...kewll..

kedai pakcik...

From his shop my love and i tercari-cari jugak where is the kebun...because last time when we went to sakuranbo gari and ichigo gari..kedai and tempat gari just next to each other..suddenly.. everybody went into the car..i followed my love..and nampak pakcik dlm jeep duk hon2... now i know.. he will bring us to the spot... not too far from his shop tapi masuk lorong agak jauh jugak la...

nashi=pear...
ringgo desu...

wahhh..luas sungguh kebun pakcik ni...ringgo (apple) ada..nashi (pear) ada..and also sakuranbo..tapi tinggal pokok je coz dah habis season... apa lagi..mesti la nak berphoto session hehe.. but before that terkam dulu budou tu..both of us just manage to finish up about 4 tangkai and after that we were full..plus simpan perut for picnic later..kalau kat kedai..1 tangkai tu 600 yen..but here for 500 yen we can choose and eat as much as we want.

pakcik..can i be your part time model anggur?..mesti lingkup..org tengok terus tak nak beli huu..
pakcik helped us took this photo...siap ambil full length plak...
aksi suap menyuap adalah satu kewajipan..i likee....
my love yang kekenyangan...beristirehat..

Apabila perut sudah kenyang...i took my love's hand.."jum g sebelah" ... hehe.. nak posing dengan pokok apple plak...and we got free apple from pakcik..tapi satu je..ok la tu..so yummy...sangat manis and juicy gitu...after that we went to walk around pakcik's orchard yang sangat best iteww..

this apple tree is mineee...boleh gitu? hehe..but seriously rasa nak petik bawa balik satu tangkai yang rimbun tu huu..
tak boleh bawa balik..posing pun jadi la...
snow white punya...
i can't identify..whether its green apple or red apple yang belum masak..
miss flower is really irresistable to flowers..

After that it's makan-makan time..as promised..pakcik bawa pergi taman..and i dont know what is the name..but at least we remembered the road to the park..insyaAllah..boleh datang lagi kalau ada masa...the place was very clean..nice..with small river and also the view of mountains. We didnt snap much pictures...khusyuk makan nasi lemak and also perform our solat there.. before we went back i insist of one photo with my love...posing maut punya..hehe.. ala2 hindustan gitu..nasib tak guling2 tau..

hehe..told ya so..

It's time to go home..kak su and family had soba nearby..we were interested yet we were still full and we wanted to drop by to buy some stuff at Sendai city...on our way back..we sanpped some pictures...some of the mountain view..and a very cosy drive... nasib tak jem..alhamdulillah...

yama
this view reminds of kuantan...when we passed by this road suddenly i heard my love said "Eh, dah nak sampai rumah Kak yu.." hehe kelakar..because i was about to mention about those trees
i saw a signboard...i dont understand what is written..but there was a picture of a mountain peak and beside it, showed the same shape but with a face of monkey yang sedang dongak..i made a conclusion..monkey head mountain ahead..and yes we did saw it..ada tak rupa monkey..or maybe a chimpz..or gorilla..hehe

what a wonderful holiday...we had..love it to the fullest..looking forward for okama trip...
