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.

April itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Ehime Meal edition) (Thursday, April 21)   Table of contents 1. Sushi Ino 2. OKAIDO BREWERY 3. Sushimaru Main Store 4. Kadoya Matsuyama Airport store   1. Sushi Ino After finishing sightseeing in Matsuyama in the morning of April 21, I had lunch at the reserved “Sushi Ino“. I ordered the “Lunch Course” (Yen 8,800 including tax) at “Sushi Ino”. Considering the grade of sushi, I think it is a very valuable course. For Nigirizushi (sushi shaped by hand), I had flatfish, striped beakfish, halfbeak, bigfin reef squid, horse mackerel, tilefish, lean tuna pickled in soy sauce , dotted gizzard shad, Japanese tiger prawn, and conger eel. “Sushi Ino” is a sushi restaurant that I visited in 2020 and was very impressed. This time too, everything was excellent and I had a blissful time. “Sushi Ino” is a well-known restaurant that has been awarded one Michelin star. It is also one of the 100 famous tabelog restaurants.   2. OKAIDO BREWERY After enjoying delicious sushi at “Sushi Ino”, I drank craft beer at “OKAIDO BREWERY”. I couldn’t go sightseeing in the afternoon due to rain, so when I was looking for a craft beer,read moreApril itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Ehime Meal edition)

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

Japanese food menu in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Japanese food menu in English / Traditional Chinese with photos Translated Japanese food menu into English / Traditional Chinese menu. Not only sushi and ramen, but also yakiniku, yakitori, and local dishes, the total menu is about 800. I also posted as many food photos as possible. Only 2.1% of all restaurants and cafeterias in Japan have English menus (Source: Tabelog, 17,342 out of 821,508, as of the end of February 2022). With this, foreign tourists can only eat at restaurants for a small number of tourists restaurants which have English menus even if they come to Japan. We hope that this translation of the English / Traditional Chinese menu will allow foreigners who cannot read Japanese at all to order Japanese food at restaurants and cafeterias that have only Japanese menus. We created it to assist in ordering at restaurants and cafeterias that have only Japanese menus, so we dared to put Japanese first in the order of languages.

January Itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Yamagata Meal edition) (Thursday, January 27)   Table of contents 1. SUIDEN TERRASSE 2. Sengoku-ya 3. Sushi Koise   1. 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. It seems thatread moreJanuary itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Yamagata Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1 Meal edition) (Wednesday, October 20)   Table of contents 1. Lunch “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” 2. Snack “Hanayamatei” 3. Dinner “Chohachi Kanazawa Katamachi store”   1. Lunch “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” After visiting “Komatsu no mori”, I had lunch at “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi“, the oldest sushi restaurant in Komatsu City. It was about 10 minutes on foot from JR Komatsu Station. The sushi is very delicious and the service is good, so it is a recommended sushi restaurant. Many sushi restaurants in Kanazawa are so popular that it is difficult to make reservations due to the increase in tourists from Tokyo after the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and the prices are very high. Komatsu City’s “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” offers delicious sushi at a reasonable price, so I liked it so much that I wanted to revisit Komatsu City for “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi”. The sushi course I ate this time was 6,500 yen, which was a great deal. When you enter “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi”, you will be surprised at the “stage board of hinoki cypress (Noh stage)” in Itaba ( Sushi kitchen ). Their master explained “If the best stage for the actor is theread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1 Meal edition)
