I’m also going to Hakone in November, so your photos have made me look forward to the day trip even more. Shame about the eggs, I was expecting something more spectacular. I’m looking forward to my onsen tamago at the ryokan I’ve booked near Jigokudani snow monkey park. The eggs are steamed in the hot spring water of the ryokan!

@Ju’eta – Yep, I’m on top of the world. Feel so young! ;)
@Natty – Exactly! If only they were transportable…
@Reemski – It wreaks doesn’t it? But the eggs are yummy.
@Lorraine – Oh your famous Halloween parties. They’d be perfect.
@Forager – There’s only so many eggs a girl can (and should) eat! :)
@Maybelles Mom – Thanks, me too ;)
@Marc – Thanks for the tip. We definitely want to go back to Japan.
@Jackie – It’s going pretty well. Stay tuned :P
@Helen – You should definitely go. Japan is the most amazing country I’ve ever been to. The eggs? Novelty value? And the Japanese actually believe they add years to your life… probably a good reason to eat them!

Wow. japan is my dream destination but obviously it’s a lot further away for me! Mount Fuji looks incredible. The eggs are surprising too – looks and tastes just like a normal boiled egg? So why do it then?

I’ve been there! Looks kind of like something from another planet huh? If you’re ever back there, there are some amazing Ryokan in Hakone.

Surpised you didn’t wolf down a few more eggs! And the smell is offensive isn’t it? Certainly understand the origin of the “rotten egg smell”

Oh I remember the stinky sulfur when we went to see Mount Fuji (years and years ago)! We didn’t get to try the black eggs though! God I’d love to serve these at Halloween :P

Those would make the ultimate deviled eggs for a party, “Have one. Look at that! 1.5 years added to your life. I did that. You can thank me later.”

When I saw your caption I was so sure you had century eggs!! I was going to write “Eeeeeeuuuuwwwww!!!” But they were not century eggs so no dramatic exclamations….But 3 years to your life per egg? Wow, that’s pretty good. Do you fee revitalised and buzzing?
