Oh!  Kuro-tamago (Black Egg) in Hakone

Eat one to extend your lifespan for 7 years longer!
Although it is all black outside, it is nothing special in the center lol

Thinking if eating one can extend 7 more years to live, 
you might definitely want to have more and more.^^

By the way, 
why it is black in color?
We all know boil an egg just take us 10 minutes. 

In this case, 
black egg in Hakone
1. Boil slowly in the Hot springs water of Owakidani (80°C) for an hour.
2. Then chemical reaction of carbon and iron combine to form sulfide iron; therefore, it turns black.
3. Boil in hot water for 5 minutes (95-100°C)





Haha
Black eggs also ride on mini ropeway to the top of the mountain.




Of course there is souvenir corner in front of the Owakudani Station


"KitKat of green tea flavor"
Wow!! The most popular corner as Japanese souvenir !
Foreign visitor!!!
Don't miss out!
