1. Tengaiten

没有蜡ollingWe had ramen for dinner. We found Tengaiten, which ranks fourth among Kumamoto cuisines. The storefront is quite small, and the seats are facing the kitchen. We ordered a bowl of Shin Ramen (choose the spiciness) and a bowl of Chashu Noodles. The noodles and soup were very good. Although the spiciness here is several degrees lower than our national spiciness. However, the website says it opens at 7 o'clock, but it actually opens at 6 o'clock. Go early to avoid queuing.

2. Suganoya Kamitori

食神牛A famous horse meat restaurant in Kumamoto, the shop is located on a quiet street. The storefront on the second floor is very quiet and elegant. The receptionist is very friendly. She asked if there was an appointment to arrange a seat. Fortunately, I didn't make an appointment but waited for a small private room. The shop is long and narrow, and the private room is small but clean and comfortable. The dishes are horse meat-themed sashimi, sushi, stone grilled, boiled, rice bowl, and soup. I ordered the seasonal cherry bowl for 1800 yen (limited to 10 servings per day), with pickled side dishes and miso soup. The rice bowl is rich in color, grilled horse meat, horse meat sashimi, horse meat minced, mixed with egg skin shreds and vegetables, and it is very delicious with crystal clear rice. Stone grilled cos set meal 3600 yen: First, a delicate vegetable salad with Italian spiral noodles was served, which was very refreshing with sour and sweet sauce. There are three types of horse meat sashimi: all lean, half lean, and all fat (roughly referring to the red, middle, and large belly of tuna). The meat is very fresh, delicate and tender, with a bit of toughness, and a bit of the unique aroma of horse meat. There are also three types of horse meat barbecue, and some vegetables are also served. The meat is either crispy and tender, fat and tender, and the taste is rich and delicious. The stew is made of yam, which is soft, crispy, and the soup is fresh. The pickled radish slices and pickled vegetables are also quite refreshing. The strawberry dessert is very rich and delicious. The rice is shiny, full and fragrant. I asked for apple juice for a drink. It is a highly recommended specialty restaurant with excellent dishes, service, and environment.

花京院点名表扬The horse meat sashimi is delicious, and the meat is of high quality. The privacy of the environment is a bit poor: during this extraordinary period, there was a table of Taiwanese people sitting next to us. When my husband and I spoke Mandarin or discussed the epidemic, they stared at us, which was very rude. Everything else was fine. We were also interviewed by a food program at Fukuoka Airport. When we talked about eating horse meat dishes, the host was very surprised and looked at the photos we took. In the end, he asked, "It's expensive, isn't it? But it's delicious."

海棠朵朵meKumamoto's very popular pork chop rice. I took a number when I entered the door. The waiting time was not bad. I ordered the most expensive set of pork chop rice. The food was a little slow, but it was worth waiting. The pork chop was particularly crispy and the meat was very tender. The snow vegetable side dishes were very delicious. It is worth checking in. I ordered a local ice sake, which was very refreshing and neat, and it was very greasy with the pork chop.

9. Kumamoto Ramen KOKUTEI Honten (Main Store)

No.3 of Local Restaurants in Kumamoto

翱翔的大鲨鱼The main signature ramen of Kurotei is the authentic Kumamoto family style. The difference from the general tonkotsu ramen is that there are two more egg yolks instead of soft-boiled eggs. The soup of the black garlic tonkotsu ramen is characterized by the black garlic powder fried on the rich tonkotsu broth. The tonkotsu broth itself is more refreshing than the general Hakata family style, without sand, no mouth, and no strong pig smell. Bitter with fragrance, this is the essence of Kumamoto black garlic ramen. The noodles are standard, moderately hard, and have excellent soup-holding ability, but the wheat flavor is covered by the overbearing black garlic flavor and is not prominent. There are two large pieces of barbecued pork, and the meaty aroma is very outstanding. After being dipped in black garlic powder, it feels a bit like thick bacon. The unique burnt aroma and noodles are good.

美丽星期五orangeThe fat is hard to chew, but the red ones are tender and delicious. The various fish sashimi platters are pretty good, the clerks are very enthusiastic, and the tatami can also add a baby chair. In short, it is expensive, very expensive, expensive, expensive

VickyqinWhen I was in Mermaid Island before, I met two Taiwanese people. When we talked about my upcoming visit to Kumamoto, they strongly recommended that I must come and eat horse meat. . . . When I first heard about it, I refused, but I thought, since I came so far, I must try it. So Xiaoyu took me to this yokobachi where you can drink and eat horse meat. Many izakayas in Japan are very interesting. They will stipulate that you can drink as much as you want within 2 hours if the average consumption per person is about 100-400 RMB! ! ! That is to say, you can drink as much as you want. . . . . This is really good news for people like me who love wine! Horse meat is a local delicacy in Kumamoto. It is said that it originated from the soldiers in the Warring States Period who slaughtered horse meat to fill their stomachs. It has a long history. It is often marked as "Sakura" on the menu because the sliced horse meat will turn into a pink cherry color soon after it comes into contact with the air. The horse meat in Kumamoto is just like Japanese sashimi. It can be eaten raw, made into sushi, fried, or made into tempura. The best part is the spine of the horse meat. When the horse meat sashimi is served, remember to eat the sashimi first. It tastes better when it is fresh. And I heard that all the edible horse meat in Japan is now concentrated in Kumamoto.

呸沛佩德罗Kyushu is the third largest island in Japan, with a mild climate and pleasant scenery. It has rich food and is one of my favorite areas. I have been there three times and checked in all 7 counties. Compared with the "crowds" in Kanto, Kansai, and Hokkaido, Kyushu seems to be more niche and leisurely, and there are many European and American tourists. If you are tired of the crowded and fast-paced special forces-style tourism in popular tourist destinations, you might consider the slow-paced Kyushu. Pick a few cities you are interested in and take a relaxing Citywalk. Or enjoy a leisurely holiday with a shopping + hot spring + food package. - ❶ Fukuoka As the gateway to Kyushu, Fukuoka City is one of the few cities with subways, with convenient transportation. Hakata ramen, mentaiko, pig intestine hot pot... It is simply unreasonable to come to Fukuoka without eating and drinking. If you like to see the sea, I highly recommend taking a bus to [Itoshima] Swing on the palm swing on the beach, watch the torii gates and the ebb and flow of the tide. The "Path of Light" at the Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu City is also a beautiful sight not to be missed. - ❷ Kumamoto Kumamoto is my favorite city in Kyushu. The majestic Kumamoto Castle is seamlessly connected to the bustling shopping streets. You can occasionally run into the cute Kumamon Bear on the street. The most shocking thing was seeing the smoking volcano up close for the first time at Aso Volcano. Finally, we went straight to Kurokawa Onsen and felt at ease in the quiet valley. - ❸ Kagoshima The surprises in Kagoshima exceeded expectations. Walk and eat in the bustling city, and then climb the Shiroyama Observatory to see the majestic appearance of Sakurajima. If the weather is good, it is also recommended to take a boat to Yakushima for hiking to see the century-old cedar trees and the inspiration for Princess Mononoke. Don't forget the black pork cuisine and the specialty Karukan! - ❹Nagasaki Compared to several other big cities, Nagasaki will give people an illusion of "time standing still" The streets and alleys built on the mountain have accumulated stories of the years and are very much like the world of animation And [Chinatown], [Catholic Church] and [Glover Garden] have witnessed the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures The beautiful night view of [Inasa Mountain] and the dreamy [Huis Ten Bosch] are also unforgettable - ❺Oita Kyushu's hot spring town The famous [Beppu] and [Yufu The temple is located here. The Beppu Hell Tour is very interesting. Friends who like hot springs should not miss it. - ❻ Saga & Miyazaki Compared with other prefectures, Saga and Miyazaki are relatively unpopular and the transportation is not well developed. But the scenery is pure and there are few tourists. Saga's [Oo Shrine] and [Takezaki Coast] are quiet and healing. Miyazaki's [Aoshima Shrine], [Demon Washboard], and [Nichinan Coast] are all charming. It is more suitable for friends who like niche routes and love self-driving. - #小众发现社 #日本自由行 #日本九州 #月度專科计划

elsashen0529This store is very interesting because it is a Chinese store. It is really familiar to see Sanlitun. I told my friend that I must take a photo of it. I found it on the way to Shuiqian Temple Fun Garden. It is a Chinese mainland canteen. The promotional board is also very interesting.
