Awaji Island is the major hub for providing fresh ingredients from the imperial court since the ancient times, so it earned the reputation of “the country of imperial food”
And “Hello Kitty Smile” in Awaji Island, about an hour away from Kobe, is an excellent unwinding spot that finally opened in April 2018!
