Kagoshima highball 5. Izakaya Hikari   1. Originator Kawara soba “Takase” Immediately after arriving at Mojiko, I had the Kawara Soba Mentaiko Chazuke set (Yen 1,760 including tax) at the Originator Kawara Soba “Takase” on the 2nd floor of the Kaikyo Plaza West Building. Kawara soba is a local gourmet in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Kawara soba began in 1962 when Shinichi Takase, who ran an inn in Kawatana Onsen, Shimonoseki, offered it as a dish for guests. After that, Kawara soba became a specialty of Kawatana Onsen and is served not only in Shimonoseki City but also in Yamaguchi Prefecture as a whole. Shinichi Takase was inspired by the story of an old man who used tiles to bake and eat wild grass and meat during long field battles at the Satsuma Rebellion (1877), and developed Kawara soba. Kawara soba is served with beef, Kinshi-tamago (thin omelette cut into strips), seaweed, Momiji-oroshi (grated daikon and chili) , and lemon on top of tea soba.

Ramen shop at Hakata Station As I wrote in the BLOG two days ago, I went to Munakata Taisha on the fourth day of my trip to Nagasaki and Fukuoka. When I went to the platform of Hakata Station to catch the train to Munakata Taisha, there was a shop of “Hakata Ramen”. Usually, there are many soba and udon shops on the platform of the station, so I saw the “Hakata Ramen” shop for the first time. If I knew the existence of this ramen shop in advance, I ate it for breakfast, but I gave up because the train departure time was approaching. I love eating on the platform of the station. I have eaten standing noodles at many local stations such as “Shinshu Soba” at Nagano Station, “Kishimen” at Nagoya Station, and “Ekisoba” at Himeji Station. I posted about “Ekisoba” at Himeji Station in the Hokuriku / Kinki Travel Edition. Other thanread moreNovember itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Fukuoka Day 2 Meal edition)

Motsunabe “Miyamoto”   1. Breakfast When I was heading to Tosu Station from Sasebo Station on the JR Limited Express Midori No. 6, I ate the bacon egg cheeseburger I bought at the station convenience store “Family Mart”. Actually, I wanted to buy ekiben, but I couldn’t because the store selling ekiben at Sasebo Station wasn’t open. For those who depart early in the morning, I would like the ekiben shop to sell ekiben from early morning. The bacon egg cheeseburger I ate for breakfast is a hamburger with the same ingredients as the Sasebo burger “Special Burger” Yen 880 (tax included) that I ate at Big Man the day before. Of course, Big Man’s “special burger” was more delicious, but the bacon egg cheeseburger of the convenience store was delicious enough considering the price (Yen 348 tax included). The deliciousness of convenience store food is rediscovered like the “Turkish rice” of the convenience store I ate on the first day . The beer I drank when eating the baconread moreNovember itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Fukuoka Day 1 Meal edition)

Zendoji temple On the third day of my trip to Nagasaki and Fukuoka, I stopped by sightseeing spots while moving from Nagasaki prefecture to Fukuoka prefecture. First, I left Sasebo Station in the morning and headed for Zendoji temple in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The trains I got on are as follows. Depart Sasebo Station at 8:06,   JR Limited Express Midori No. 6, bound for Hakata,   arrive at Tosu at 9:30 Depart Tosu at 9:41,   JR Kagoshima line rapid train bound for Araki,  arrive at Kurume at 9:47 Depart  Kurume at 10:14,   JR Kyudai Line bound for Hita,  arrive at Zendoji at  10:33 Total fare Yen 3,120 (including limited express ticket) As I always think when I get on the train, the limited express trains of JR Kyushu are very cool. Mark is also cool, so I think there are good designers. The 787 series I boarded won the Japan Railfan Club Blue Ribbon Award in 1993. It started commercial operation in 1992, but the design thatread moreNovember itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Fukuoka Day 1)

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)
