Black Boiled Egg in Hakone

I went to Hakone, which is famous for hot spring. I will take about 90 minutes by car from Tokyo. There are a lots of spots you can visit when you go to Hakone, and Owakudani is one of them.

Owakudani is a volcanic valley, and is a source of hot springs in Hakone. Hot water flowing and steam rising is the best view you can see there.

Popular taste of Owakudani is Kuro-tamago (meaning “black egg”), which is a boiled egg made by hot spring. Iron contain in the hot spring make the color of the egg shell black.

Taste of this egg is just like a normal boiled eggs… Nothing, special. One thing special is that this egg costs 100 Yen (about 1 US Dollar). So expensive for an boiled egg. Well, this is just a memorial thing to get and not to really enjoying the taste of the egg itself.
