We Try Straw Natto & Natto Ramen! Plus Biking through a Nemophila Field! [納豆ラーメン, ひたち海浜公園, 袋田の滝] 

It's Natto time. If you don't know natto, it's a sticky fermented bean. It is a very common food in Japan and rather popular. It is less popular with those unaccustomed to the strong taste and texture. For example, Reid despises it! It is very healthy and high in protein. We've stumbled upon a natto area and go to try natto ramen, and original unprocessed natto.
We also visit Hitachi Seaside Park. A park of all seasons where you can see some kind of flower blossoming. It is famous for nemophila flowers where we were able to see the start of the blooming.
茨城といえば納豆！てつは納豆が大好きなので、納豆定食と納豆ラーメンを食べるのを楽しみにしてきました。お味は。。。。
そしてネモフィラで有名なひたち海浜公園に行きました。サイクリングをしながらの、お花の絶景は最高でした。最後に日本の滝で3本の指に入ると言われている袋田の滝へ！迫力満点でした！
Hello! We are Tetsu & Reid, a Japanese and American couple living in Japan with a goal to travel around the country, van style!

Excited to show this journey!
