老饕友人前陣子預約了這家位於 台中南屯益豐路四段 的鐵板燒店「 森鐵板燒 」,這週末應同學的邀約回台中用餐。這家店主打無油烹煮,中午用餐時間一進門,裡面感覺空蕩蕩的沒什麼客人,心裡先感到一陣不妙,店裡的黑色系裝潢,應該是想呈現出低調高級的感覺,來反映菜單上的盤子價位。 服務員先領我們到一樓的甜點區去看菜單(用餐區在二樓),老饕同學點了8880元的日本皇室12A和牛單人套餐,另外加點牛肉炒飯,我只點了便宜的2680元森戶牛排單人套餐,另外再單點一份櫻花蝦炒飯(加上服務費,我大概花了3400多)。 聚餐前就跟友人說過我只會點2000多的餐,正在看菜單,要翻頁到有比較便宜的套餐頁面時,服務人員卻一直積極介紹高價位的和牛套餐說:你朋友點的是 #%$%元的$%#$^和牛套餐 ,感覺就像是在向你推坑「你同行友人點的是高級套餐唷,你484也應該點個高價位的套餐呀?」,這種感覺。 然後這家店最貴的和牛套餐,那片肉竟要價16000元,不知道哪種高級人(盤子)才吃的起。我這種低俗的人,寧願拿來買一張機票,飛去日本吃道地的日本和牛。 到了二樓,會先上前菜(沙拉跟烤麵包,還有濃湯),友人似乎發現到他的叉子上有不乾淨的東西,請服務員換一支新的給他(還米其林推薦餐廳咧??呵呵呵...)。 前菜上桌後,服務員會一直站在旁邊看,距離還滿近的,感覺好像逼迫你快點吃,無形中給人很大的用餐壓力,吃完一道菜後,盤子就瞬間被收走,連吃牛排用的叉子也一併給我收走,後來提醒才送一支新的上來。 跟我們同桌用餐的還有另外兩對情侶,這位忘了姓啥的中年男子主廚,就同時為我們三桌客人服務,看他在料理食材時,發現怎麼一塊抹布,一直重複使用,擦完鐵板燒的鐵板後,就直接放到一旁桌上,下次要料理食材前,又再次拿起來,繼續在鐵板上擦一擦,感覺就很噁心,旁邊的桌上難道沒細菌嗎? 接著炒飯上桌了,主廚很認真在炒飯沒錯,邊炒飯邊開始跟我們哈拉,說我們這個炒飯啊~怎樣怎樣棒棒噠,這個櫻花蝦怎樣怎樣敲香敲好吃唷。其實給人的感覺就是老王賣瓜,然後服務員也在一旁忙著唱雙簧:「我們主廚的炒飯真的很好吃喔」,我心想:好不好吃,客人自己吃一口不就知道了,你們講的嘴角全是泡沫不累嗎?聽久都感到厭煩! 吃下一口一份300多快要400元的櫻花蝦炒飯,細嚼幾口後,感覺香氣一般般、鑊氣沒有,飯則是太乾、顆粒感太重,沒有任何特色,也不令人感到驚艷,更不是勞資喜番

Planning on taking the Yari-Hotaka traverse and Tateyama/Tsurugi-dake Circuit Trek in the Northern Japan Alps


The Japan Alps consist of three volcanic ridges that run from north to south through the central and widest part of Honshu. The home of numerous hiking areas and ski resorts, and centered around Nagano, the Japan Alps are named after the famous European mountain range because they both feature rugged glacier-carved slopes and numerous peaks over 3,000 meter.

With the exception of Mt. Fuji, which is further east, the highest mountains in Japan are located in the Japan Alps. Numerous streams running through the plateaus and between the mountains have carved out lovely gorges and ravines. Thick-wooded forests occupy the lower slopes, and of alpine flora and rugged rocky walls occupy the higher slopes.

The Hida Mountains, or Northern Alps, is a Japanese mountain range which stretches through Nagano, Toyama and Gifu prefectures. The Northern Japanese Alps is a major mountain chain slicing through the heart of Japan north to south. A number of Japan's most awesome peaks lie in this popular mountainous region, which is loved by climbers. Several 3,000-meter-high rocky peaks rise from the Hotaka Mountains as if taking turns piercing the sky. The two most popular climbing mountains, Mt. Yari and Mt. Hotaka are difficult to climb. In the past 30 years over 500 climbers have died trying to reach their summits. Yari means "spear" in Japanese and the dangerous hike to top of this mountain takes three days. The ascent of Hotaka, the third highest mountain in Japan, isn't as difficult. At the top you can often see eagles riding the thermals. Still people have died climbing it. The route from the Hotaka Mountains to Mt. Yari is revered as one of the most difficult traverse routes in Japan. 


The Kita Alps are well-travelled in the summer months and series of comfortable mountain huts, similar to those in the Alps, are well-spaced, staffed, and equiped to accomodate the throngs of Japanese hikers during the peak summer months. Mt. Oku-Hotaka (3,190 meters) , the highest of the the group, sits at the south end of a knife-ridge which connects to the famous Yarigatake (3,180 meters) mountain, aprx. 6 miles to the north. Other prominent peaks in the Hotaka massive are: Mae-Hotaka (3,090 meters), Nishi-Hotaka (2,908 meters) Kita-Hotaka (3,106 meters), and Karasawa Dake (3,110 meters). 

The Japan Alps are truly remarkable and beautiful and a developed infrastructure allows easy access. At the base of the Hotaka massive, sits the resort town of Kamikochi in the Azusa River valley. The peaks are the centerpiece of the Chubu Sangaku National Park. Alpinists relish the challenge of ascending the mountains from the western slope, which is a sheer, massive rock face. Over the years, the steep cliffs have claimed the lives of many mountaineers.

At a height of 3,180 meters, Mt. Yari (Yarigatake) has a sharply pointed summit that is shaped like a pyramid and is located in the northernmost of the group of the rocky peaks. Mt. Yari is Japan's fifth-highest peak, and called“the Japanese Matterhorn”because of its shape. Mt. Yari is so popular that it is a summit that nearly everyone aspires to climb at least once. During the summer climbing season, alpinists form a long queue waiting for their turn to summit Mt. Yari. Climbing Mt. Yari and Mt. Hotaka is very popular among Japanese and foreign climbers and was one of my dreams.


Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route is 90 kilometer route that is broken into nine sections and includes rides on cable railways, a highland bus, a cable car, and a trolley bus. It starts in Toyama and finished in Shinano-omachi (It's also possible to do trip in the reverse direction), and stops at Kurobe Dam. The entire journey costs about ¥11,000.

Tateyama Mountain is considers one of Japan's three holiest mountains along with Mt. Fuji and Mt. Haku and is comprised of three peaks: Oyama, Onanjiyama, and Fujinooritate. The highest is 9,892 feet. Climbing the mountain has traditionally been regarded as means of purifying the soul. For many years it was off limits to women and was climbed by 15-year-old boys to prove their manhood. 

Among the mountains of the Japanese Alps, Tsurugi-dake is maybe the most famous among experienced hikers. The reason for this is the rather difficult and exposed ascent that is possible for the average hiker only with the help of many chains, nails etc. The normal approach to Tsurugi-dake is to take the train, cable car and bus route from Toyama to Murodo. From there it is a few hours hike to the base of Tsurugi-dake. On the way, you pass the sulfuric springs that feed onsen in many of the huts in the area.

Tsurugi-dake is located in the eastern area of Toyama Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the tallest peak in the Hida Mountains at 2,999M. Based on peakery data, it ranks as the 1st highest mountain in Toyama and the 17th highest mountain in Japan. It is one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, and is called "the most dangerous mountain" climbable. Before attempting this mountain make sure you have some experience and take appropriate safety equipment. Having said that the trail up to the summit is steep but good fun and you get a real sense of accomplishment when you make it to the top.

If you have only time for one area of the outdoors to explore during your stay in this country, you can’t go wrong by choosing one of the many choices the Northern Alps has to offer. I'm planning on taking the Yari-Hotaka traverse and Tateyama/Tsurugi-dake Circuit Trek in the Kita Alps this summer, it's gonna be exciting!!.
