In Kanazawa

 The Kenrokuen garden is across the street from the castle. As we walked down the street, we had a good view of the tallest part of the castle.
 The next thing we were going to do was have lunch. We had a reservation at a special restaurant that specializes in fuu, gluten, and everything they serve contains fuu in some form. We had to park down a side street, lined with old buildings.
 We walked out to the main street where we found the entrance, the first open area in this building.
 We ate on the second floor in a tatami mat room. The food was delicious and I eat everything the served. I could barely move when we finished because my stomach was so full.
 On the first floor there was a store. This stone container full of water contains some fuu which comes in large sheets.
They sold a variety of snacks made from fuu that made excellent souvenirs to bring home with us. However, they were so good that most of them got eat rather than given as gifts.
