This coffee shop is located in the Higo Yokamon Ichiba shopping mall outside Kumamoto Station. It is only 20 meters away from Starbucks. There are many Seattle&rsquo;s best coffee shops in Kyushu, but it&rsquo;s a pity that I didn&rsquo;t get to taste the coffee here.

Uchinoki Onsen is a small tourist destination that few foreign tourists visit. Most of the local Japanese come here to take a bath and rest. I came to Imakin to eat beef bowl at 1pm in the off-season. I waited in line for more than an hour. I looked at the queue registration book and found that most of the people here are Japanese! You have to register your name in the queue and then get a number. When there is an empty table, the waiter will come to call the number.

There is a French bakery Die P&acirc;tisserier near my home. I love strawberry opera. In comparison, chocolate opera is too greasy to eat on a hot day. I originally bought a cupcake to put a candle in it, but I went to two small shops and couldn&rsquo;t find a candle, so I ordered a mini Santa Claus that I have kept at home for several years (for decoration). There is also chocolate from Yuma Pralinen on the table (one of the founders is Lao Wu, the Berlin Fine Cuisine Chinese Food pop-up I wrote about before). I love Earl Grey tea and mango passion fruit the most. The desserts are limited. You have to grab them every month on WeChat group.

Just opposite the Green Rich Hotel, there is a very down-to-earth public canteen. Just as its name suggests, there are not many varieties of food. It is a place where locals can simply eat without having to cook!
