October itinerary in Japan Day 7 (Hyogo Day 1 Meal edition)

By ninjakotan

October itinerary in Japan Day 7 (Hyogo Day 1 Meal edition) (Tuesday, October 26)   Table of contents 1. Breakfast “Ekisoba” 2. Lunch “Tacopy” 3. Dinner “Kaminari Sushi”   1. Breakfast “Ekisoba” For breakfast in Himeji, I had “Tempura Ekisoba” (Yen380) at “Ekisoba“. “Ekisoba” is a rare type of noodle that combines yellow ramen noodles with Japanese-style soup. In 1949, “Maneki Shokuhin” started selling “Ekisoba” at the platform of Himeji Station. It can be said that it is the local food of Himeji citizens. I’m a former Himeji citizen, so when I come to Himeji, I want to eat. As I introduced before, it is said that Ekiben was originally sold at Himeji Station by Maneki Shokuhin in 1888 (Meiji 21). You can see that “Maneki Shokuhin” is a company that has come up with various ideas since its establishment.   2. Lunch “Tacopy” I had Akashiyaki-style “Takoyaki” (Yen450 for 10 pieces) and “Himeji Oden” at “Tacopy” on the first basement floor of Himeji Grand Festa. The name of “Tacopy” has changed several times, but it has been in the basement of the station building of Himeji Station for a long time. The main restaurant is Takoyaki, but it offersread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 7 (Hyogo Day 1 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

By ninjakotan

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition) (Sunday, October 24)   Table of contents 1. Breakfast “Ekiben” 2. Lunch “Sushi Masa Main Store” 3. Dinner “Totogen Nishi Maizuru”   1. Breakfast “Ekiben” While waiting for the train at Tsuruga station, I had Ekiben for breakfast. The ekiben is “Tsuruga specialty original Tai sushi” (Yen 1,100). Beautifully colored sushi made with yellowback seabream. The vinegar was slightly moderate, so it brought out the flavor of the yellowback seabream, and it was a very delicious sushi. We had delicious sushi and it was a very satisfying breakfast. Sasa-zuke of Kodai is famous as a specialty of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, but I think that sushi in Tsuruga City may become more famous as a food that uses the same yellowback seabream. The ekiben package also feels nostalgic and bright, so I think it’s very good. I love Ekiben and want to buy and eat as much as I can when traveling. However, I am disappointed that the sales of Ekiben at local stations are declining due to the recent trend toward higher railway speeds. In 1903 (Meiji 36), Shioso Co., Ltd., which sells “Tsuruga specialty, the originalread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

September itinerary in Japan Day 7 (Hokkaido Day 2 Meal edition) (Saturday, October 2)   Table of contents Breakfast Lunch Dinner izakaya “Uodoraku” “Itadakimasu.”   Breakfast As planned in the itinerary, I ate “Uni-Ikura-don (sea urchin salmon roe bowl)” at “Kikuyo Shokudo” in Hakodate Morning Market. It is Hokkaido’s “Local dishes loved by the nation” announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. https://edokagura.com/en/local-cuisine/327/ https://edokagura.com/en/local-cuisine/516/ Besides “Uni-Ikura-don (sea urchin salmon roe bowl)”, I also ate live Japanese flying squid sashimi. Squid is famous for Hakodate Morning Market. It was in season for Japanese flying squid, so I felt it was even more delicious. In particular, the liver of squid, which can only be eaten with live squid, is the most delicious, and I would like everyone to eat it. In Hakodate, there was a cute squid on the mailbox. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-6.pdf http://hakodate-kikuyo.com/ https://www.uu-hokkaido.com/corporate/hakodate-asaichi.shtml   Lunch Umi-no-eki (Sea Station)  Plat Minato Ichiba (Market) (30 minutes walk from Tomakomai station, bicycle rental is recommended) As planned, I had lunch at “Kaisen (Seafood) Minato Shokudo”.
