Gifu: Where My Toque Got Frostbite

been in gifu for a hot minute now, and man, this place has got some serious attitude. i just checked the weather and it's 8.21°C with a humidity that feels like 52% static cling, hope you like that kind of thing. honestly? my knuckles are so dry they sound like sandpaper when i clap.

the kitchen here? brutal. pressure's at 1022 hpa like someone's constantly squeezing lemons for juice. and if you get bored, nagoya's just a short drive away where they actually know how to crank the heat.

*gifu station's conveyor belt sushi is wild tho-like watching a river of raw fish swim past you. someone told me the tuna at sushiro gets flown in from tokyo every morning, but i also heard it's just frozen blocks microwaved back to life. take that with a grain of salt.

drunk advice from a local bartender last night: "avoid the unagi at yamamoto unless you wanna taste regret." honestly? regret tastes like overcooked eel.

i heard the tempura place near ohira shrine uses leftover festival oil. shhh!

that noodle shop? yeah, they water down the broth tuesday through thursday. true story.

check out the gifu tourism board if you wanna walk into tourist traps with your eyes open. for real eats, yelp's gifu section has way fewer shills than tripadvisor.

pressure's dropping too-grnd_level at 1004 now. feels like the sky's holding its breath. or maybe that's just my lungs after climbing mount kinka* without proper gear. rookie mistake.
