Travel Notes - Maple leaves that were too late to appreciate had to be "fried"

After going through the check-out procedures, looking at the mounted hour hand, I estimated that there were still several hours left before the flight took off, thinking that there should be enough time to visit some scenic spots; but today is the last day of the journey, so early In the past, according to the sharing of online media and travel blogs, I have visited the representative scenic spots in the city once, and I also feel that in this city with a strong commercial atmosphere, in addition to the seemingly similar, but also different and interesting business districts In addition, there seems to be no other place in particular to be found at the moment.

Enter keywords such as "Osaka Tourist Attractions" and "Osaka Must-Visit" in order, hoping to find a short-term "dwelling place" before flying away from this place with the help of Google's God. Swipe and swipe, looking at the search results every few columns on the mobile phone page, there will be repeated words such as "Minoh Falls/Minoh Mountain/Minoh Park", choose a click to browse:

"Osaka generally gives the impression of a shopping and gourmet paradise, but it turns out that it is also full of natural beauty! Arrange a day to go to Minoh in the northern suburbs, and there is a comfortable way to enjoy the cool hike and enjoy the fall foliage for travelers to choose..."
- Excerpted from the official website of the Japan National Tourism Organization

In this way, I took the Hankyu train to Minoh City with the thought of "I have never climbed a mountain or hiked and enjoyed the autumn leaves during my travels".

Minoh City, which is about 30 minutes away from Osaka City, walk for a short distance from the station (Minoh Station), and you can meet the stone carving of "Minoh Tokai Nature Trail West Start" erected in front of the station; Naturally, there is no clue about the path of the trail. It is only based on the same intuition as before - "follow the crowd", and there are corresponding signs along the road. Although I don't understand Japanese, it is mixed with familiar Chinese characters, and I can guess it. Walking in the direction indicated, we reached the entrance of the trail.

"This "walk" is too wide," is the intuitive impression given at the entrance of the place where the hike is about to begin.

Walking in the mountains and forests, the other mountain climbers/hikers scattered around, brushed past each other; at the beginning, they walked faster, others walked slower, and when they stopped to take a photo, they turned around and were swept away. Others distanced themselves and could not tell whether they were local citizens or visitors from home and abroad. They only felt that taking advantage of the good morning light, everyone moved in the same direction in a tacit understanding .

Walking along the trail can be described as easy and smooth, the terrain along the road is gentle, and there are not many steep slopes; you can admire the surrounding scenery while walking along the winding path, and when you start to hear the sound of falling water, you can hear the sound and look forward, " "Minoh Falls" is already in sight.

The waterfall looks like silk from a distance, and it may not have the trend of "flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that it is the Milky Way falling nine days", but it is soft and long like a ribbon, fluttering gently , if it is lined with a red maple forest full of mountains, it must be Yet another view.

"Hey, that's right, what about maple tree viewing?!"

In fact, I know that in the Mino market in early January, the maple viewing season has long gone, and there is no way to see the scenery of "Danfeng Welcome Autumn", but I still come with the expectation of "a glimpse". The season is irreversible, and the maple, which is too late to appreciate, has to be "fried and tasted" .

The first time I discovered its existence was in the shop next to the trail. At first glance, I thought it was just a fried food that looked like a maple leaf. When I looked closely, I realized that it was a real maple leaf. It can also be an option for its ingredients, which is really special.

Xu was aware of curiosity by the store owner/the proprietress, so he was in the maple leaf that had just been boiled, and motioned for me to taste a piece; "Oui Department" ~ . Guessing that the maple leaves themselves should have no taste, so the focus is on the fried noodles wrapped in maple leaves, but I can't say what is unique about the noodles, but it is very! it is good! eat! .

So do you really pick up the fallen maple leaves, wash them, and then fry them? not also

 The above edible maple leaves are all planted by the genus, and they will be picked before the maple leaves turn from yellow to red (without falling to the ground). Taste it. -Refer to the information from the Internet

I like the many unexpected encounters and harvests during the journey; on the way back, I was fortunate enough to harvest this mountain scenery and local specialties.
