May itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Kumamoto Meal edition)

May itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Kumamoto Meal edition) (Wednesday, May 18)   Table of contents 1. Hitoyoshi Ryokan 2. Yorifuji 3. Nishiki sushi   1. Hitoyoshi Ryokan Breakfast on May 18th was served at the accommodation “Hitoyoshi Ryokan“. I love breakfast at hot spring inns. Even though it’s breakfast, it’s great to be able to eat many kinds of side dishes. Also, the color of the small bowl containing many kinds of side dishes is beautiful. The breakfast at Hitoyoshi Ryokan was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had at a hot spring inn. I ate dried sweetfish for the first time. The Kuma River, which runs beside Hitoyoshi Ryokan, is famous for catching delicious sweetfish. The opening date for sweetfish fishing is June 1, so it’s a pity that I could only eat dried sweetfish this time. Next time, I wanted to revisit Hitoyoshi during the sweetfish fishing season. When I left the breakfast venue of “Hitoyoshi Ryokan”, beautiful flowers were laid. I was happy with the fresh flowers that matched the atmosphere of “Hitoyoshi Ryokan”. “Hitoyoshi Ryokan” is a wonderful ryokan, and the services of the landlady and female employees were also pleasant.

Seafood list in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Seafood list in English and Traditional Chinese with photos   Translated the fish and shellfish that are often eaten in Japan into English and traditional Chinese. In this translation, we translated about 200 kinds of fish and shellfish. I also posted pictures of as many fish and shellfish as possible. We hope that this translation of fish and shellfish will allow foreigners who cannot read Japanese at all to order at sushi restaurants and izakaya that have only Japanese menus. I created it to assist in ordering at a restaurant that has only a Japanese menu, so I dared to put Japanese first in the language order. We would like to make the menu better, so we are looking forward to your advice. I look forward to working with you.   ①、魚類、Fish、魚 ①-1、寿司ネタ、Sushi topping, Sushi material、壽司食材 ①-1-A、赤身魚 : AKAMI-ZAKANA、Red flesh fish、紅魚・赤身 ①-1-B、白身魚 : SHIROMI-ZAKANA、White fish、白魚・白身 ①-1-C、光り物 : HIKARIMONO、Silver-skinned fish、光物 ①-1-D、その他寿司ネタ、Other Sushi topping, Other Sushi material、其他壽司食材 ①-2、焼き料理、煮料理用魚、Fish used in grilled and boiled dishes、用於烤和煮菜餚的魚 ②、貝類、Shellfish、貝 ③、海老、Shrimp, Prawn、蝦・蝦子 ④、蟹、Crab、蟹・螃蟹 ⑤、烏賊・蛸、Squid / Octopus、魷魚・烏賊・章魚 ⑥、魚卵・海藻類他、Fish eggs / seaweed, etc.、魚卵・海藻等   ①、魚類、Fish、魚 ①-1、寿司ネタ、Sushi topping, Sushi material、壽司食材 ①-1-A、赤身魚 : AKAMI-ZAKANA、Red flesh fish、紅魚・赤身 Japanese : 鮪(まぐろ) Pronunciation : MAGURO English : Tuna 繁體中文 : 鮪魚、金槍魚、吞拿魚 Japanese : 黒鮪(くろまぐろ)、本鮪(ほんまぐろ) Pronunciation :read moreSeafood list in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Summary of January itinerary in Japan (Yamagata trip)

Summary of January itinerary in Japan (Yamagata trip)   I traveled to Yamagata prefecture (Tohoku region) from January 25th (Tuesday) to January 28th (Friday). On this trip, I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and I was able to visit wonderful tourist destinations such as the national treasure and national important cultural properties. Although it was a trip within the same prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture had different cultures and food cultures depending on the region, so it was a very satisfying trip. This is the January itinerary in Japan that I highly recommend to everyone. In addition, I will report a summary of this trip and some notes.   Table of contents 1.”100 selections of local dishes” and “Local dishes loved by the nation” by this itinerary in Japan 2.

SUIDEN TERRASSE I had breakfast at the restaurant of SUIDEN TERRASSE Hotel. Breakfast at SUIDEN TERRASSE is a Japanese buffet with about 30 items. Although it is a buffet, the staff members kindly served me with rice, miso soup, and Dongara-jiru (Chunky cod stew) . The Japanese buffet at SUIDEN TERRASSE is characterized by offering local ingredients and many local dishes. At the breakfast I had so many local dishes of the Shonai region and Yamagata prefecture. I ate Shonai Asatsuki (spring onion) with vinegar miso, Yamagata prefecture pholiota nameko soy sauce, Shonai beach salt-grilled blackthroat seaperch, simmered Shonai pork, Yamagata specialty Tama konnyaku (ball konjac), Shonai pork sausage, local dish salt natto, soy sauce no mi, Dongara-jiru (Chunky cod stew), Shonai rice (Tsuyahime, Yukiwakamaru), Chokai Kogen yogurt, etc.  Among the foods I ate, “Soy sauce no mi” and “Tama konnyaku” were selected as “Our Regional Cuisines” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. “Soy sauce no mi” is a versatile seasoning made by mixing soy sauce, wheat, and rice.
