Breakfast was in a bigger room that could accomodate 4 tables.
The breakfast was presented in a very colourful and appettizing way in different shaped and interesting, colourful bowls. It was a art piece! It made me feel hungry. It was a very delightful, satisfying and well balanced traditional Japanese breakfast complete with egg, fish, soup, nuts, greens, fruits, pickles and rice. Green tea and coffee were also included in the menu.
Soft silky tofu with mushroom & greens cooked over fire later and dipped in special sauce.

Condiments
Very savoury Nattō (なっとう or 納豆 - we simply loved it
Light, plain and healthy tofu with white radish and green pea in clear soup perfect for the tummy in the early morning.
Delicious fried fish
Local greens with sesame seeds.
Soft, juicy japanese omelette
Some pickled and vinegar-ed greens/carrot. Tasted like sichuan chai.
Healthy salad. We realised that people in Kyushu eat more vegetables compared to their counterparts in Tokyo.
Mushroom with some crunchy vegetables
