Inside the restaurant Bracconiere

While exploring the Island,
I was guided to a house that had dug out turf.

Greeks settled on the Island in the 8th century BC.
It was a house made by hollowing out rocks around that time.

Guide Ms. Keiko Hatta
(From Awaji Island) explained.

Early in the morning
gunshots and dog barking echo in the mountains.
Hunting is flourishing on the Island, which is a treasure trove of hares.

On the hillside of Mt. Epomeo, at an altitude of
about 500m
.
There is a restaurant "Bracconiere"
in (Bokkarisera).

The owner is a hunter
and sells freshrabbit meat.

The store opens from 1 o'clock.
With a guideand a driver.
I ordered a stewed rabbit dish for 4 people.

The appetizer is "Pappardele".
Raw flat noodle spaghetti is solid handmade noodles
It's like a chewy noodle.

The mellow and chewy texture of
the rabbit meat soup stock is quitenice.

The next
"Cacciatore" you are looking for.
Because it isstewed rabbit,
Kotetsu (wife) eats only half.

A small rabbit appears in a large bowl.
One whole forefoot, hindfoot, liver, brain

miso firmly chewy.
The texture of the local chicken.

It's hard to eat witha knifeandfork
the Italian driver is eating by hand then
me too.

120% fullness with meat after a long absence.
A restaurant on a swanky mountain,

not listed in the guidebook, but highly recommended
If you go toIschia, don't miss it!

 Only three Japaneselive on this Island.

Hatta fell in love withthe Ischia10 years ago
She is a resident of this Island.

She is the mother of two kids 3 and 7 years old,
"I'm finally able to blend in with the Island."
Her face is really strong.

Because the children live leisurely slowly,
when they go home to Japan,
they get confused Kyoko, said.
