December itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Aomori Day 2 Meal edition)

December itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Aomori Day 2 Meal edition) (Sunday, December 12)   Table of contents 1. Kurayoshi 2. Cafe Buruman 3. Tsune Sushi   1. Kurayoshi I had meals in Kuroishi at the creative Japanese restaurant “Kurayoshi“. First of all, the impression of “Kurayoshi” was that it was the highest level restaurant in recent years for me. The food was delicious and the service of the waitresses was excellent. The store was renovated from a dozo store, so there was a profound feeling from the entrance. I entered the store at the same time as it opened at 11 o’clock, but after that, more and more customers came in. Isn’t it the most popular restaurant in Kuroishi? I was also surprised that the menu was surprisingly rich. When I looked it up to write this blog, “Kurayoshi” was also used as a shooting location in the Aomori PR video of Japan Airlines. First, I drank the craft beer “Aomori Ale” from Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture. “Aomori Ale” can only be drunk in Aomori Prefecture. Manufactured by Be Easy Brewing, a beer company founded in 2016 by former US Air Force Gareth Anson Burns. “Aomori Ale” is anread moreDecember itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Aomori Day 2 Meal edition)

Izakaya Maruya Nishinakasu 3. Izakaya Hikari   1.Nadai Ramen-tei Hakata Station EKICHIKA (Underground Shopping Center) On the last day of my trip to Nagasaki and Fukuoka, I had Hakata Ramen for lunch early. The ramen shop that became the last ramen on the trip is “Nadai Ramen-tei” in the Hakata Station EKICHIKA (Underground Shopping Center). It’s open from 10am, so it was perfect for an early lunch. Moreover, the morning service was exceptionally cheap at Yen 480 (usually Yen 580) for char siu (barbecued pork) noodles. The char siu men I ate were very delicious. It wasn’t cheap but not delicious ramen. It’s cheap and delicious ramen. It is one of the best Hakata ramen I have ever eaten. The soup, noodles and char siu tasted much higher than average. Of course, red pickled ginger and pickled takana were also placed on the table, so I’ll put them in the ramen. The taste has changed and it has become even more delicious. In addition, there was a poster in the store saying that “Meidairead moreNovember itinerary in Japan Day 6 (Fukuoka Day 4 Meal edition)

November itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Nagasaki Day 1 Meal edition) (Monday, November 15th)   Table of contents 1. Turkish rice 2. Yossou 3. Tarafuku Asa    1. Turkish rice The meal for this trip to Nagasaki and Fukuoka was a turbulent start. I arrived at Nagasaki Station at 10:38. The departure time of the high-speed ship “Shunkan” bound for Takashima was 11:50, so it was necessary to have lunch immediately. However, when I searched for stores that opened at 11:00 around Nagasaki Station and Nagasaki Port Terminal, I couldn’t find them, and all of them opened at 11:30. When I entered the restaurant at 11:30, I could miss the high-speed boat, so I had to choose to buy a lunch box at a convenience store. At the convenience store “Daily Yamazaki” near the Nagasaki Port Terminal, I bought a “Turkish Rice” lunch box, which is a local gourmet of Nagasaki, and decided to eat it on a high-speed boat. Turkish rice is a dish of Japanese pork cutlet, Chinese pilaf, and Western spaghetti served together on a plate. There is a theory that the name Turkish Rice was given because the mixed feeling of Japanese food, Chinese food, andread moreNovember itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Nagasaki Day 1 Meal edition)

September itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Miyagi Day 1 Meal edition)

By ninjakotan

September itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Miyagi Day 1 Meal edition) (Sunday, September 26)   Table of contents Lunch Snack Dinner   Lunch This time, I ate “Gyutan-yaki“, which is a “Local dishes loved by the nation”, for lunch. Since I arrived at Sendai station early, I went around the sightseeing spots at “Loople Sendai” first, got off at Jozenji-dori City Hall, and ate Gyutan-yaki set meal (beef tongue set meal) at the nearby “Umami Tasuke”. “Umami Tasuke” is the origin of Gyutan-yaki, and even now, beef tongue is grilled over charcoal. The charcoal-grilled firepower is strong, so it will be ready within 5 minutes of ordering. I think it’s worth just looking at the beef tongue chunks at the counter. It was about the size of a tire. Of course, the taste of beef tongue was delicious. I’ve been to Sendai several times, but it was a restaurant I’ve never been to. This is a recommended restaurant. I would like to revisit. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-6.pdf   Snack For dessert, I ate “Zunda mochi” at “Tea-dokoro Aoba Namiki Tamazawa” (S-PAL Sendai store main building B1F, Sendai station basement).
