Takikomi gohan- mixed rice

Hello. Are you interested in hiking? Well, even though you are not, I am sure that you would like it when you know how beneficial it is for your diet!

According to a website that calculates your energy consumption for climbing, basically an 8 hour hike can burn around 5,000kcal! That is equivalent to the energy you need to in-take in about 3 days. Actually that's too much energy to lose in a short time so you need to eat sugar and salt during the climbing. But you can definitely lose your weight.
 You can also enjoy the extraordinary environment that refresh your mind. This photo of Mt. Fuji is a view from a mountain in Okutama, Tokyo.
