Wakayama ramen Ide shoten

 I traveled to Wakayama city in Japan and tried Wakayama ramen.

I went to Ide shoten which is very old and famous ramen restaurant in  Wakayama.

This ramen is Porky soup and soy sauce taste (Tonkotsu-shoyu) with many roasted pork slices. So good!!

But, the inside of this restaurant was very dirty.

Roastbeef bowl 極ローストビーフ丼 in Densetsu no Sutadon-ya伝説のすた丼屋.
This seems to be imitated Redrock's.  Its taste is worse than Redrock's one.

Mapo curry by Matsuya

The mapo curry is newly served by Matsuya 松屋, Japanese fast food restrant.
This is very spicy and Chinese-tasted curry rather than Indian curry.  So delicious!

Cup noodles

Recently, the new tastes of CUP NOODLES were released.

 The Singaporean Chilli Crab (left) and the Thai Tom yum goong (right).

 This one was not spicy at all. I felt it no good.

 This one was spicy and sour with much prawn flavor. It is my favorite.

Lumond

"Lumond" sold by Bourbon is my best favorite sweets from my childhood.

The original taste (left) and the new taste "Lumond white" (right)

Lumond is a crepe-like cookie coated by chocolate and very lightly and tasty.  But these are too fragile to be recommended for souvenir.

Ramen Senryu

My favorite ramen senryu (仙龍).  This is "Horumon ramen", which is of soy sauce with much backfat, long onion, and pig's intestines.  Chinese chili is best much to this ramen.

Fukuoka gourmet

My favorite hakata ramen restrant KAITEN (廻天).

 Tonkotsu ramen is very good.

Eel bowl at Yoshizuka unagi (吉塚うなぎ屋).

However, I felt this eel bowl worse than that I ate 3 years ago because of soggy rice. 

Garigarikun WIN !!

Garigarikun (ガリガリ君) is the most popular ice pop in Japan.  It is very inexpensive but delicious with a lottery.  I won at the first time while I had eaten over 50 ones in this summer !!  It is said that the winning rate is 1/32 (3%).

This stick can be bartered for another ice pop.

Eating loaches

Traditionally, loach is the stamina food of the summer as same as eel in Japan.  This is a pot dish of loaches at the Shibuya branch of Komagata Dozeu (駒形どぜう).  It matches a cold beer well.

Eel bowl in Shinagawa

I like the Unagi (eel) very much.  Today, I visited Marutomi in Shinagawa, Tokyo.  This restaurant is near from Tokyo Hanada Airport.

I walked from Aomono Yokocho station and soon arrived.  It was very small restaurant without air-conditon.

This is double (eel) bowl.  Its sauce is a littel salty rather than sweet, of cause very delicious. 

Gifu

 last week, I traveled to Gifu to watch the fireworks festival.  Gifu is one of the hottest (temperature) places in Japan.  Of couse, it was very very hot day.

The golden Oda Nobunaga, the very famous japanese samurai lord.

The fish-shaped traditional sweets Ayugashi, limited-sold in summer. 

Eel bowl in Kawagoe

Today, I went to Kawagoe, Saitama on business.  For lunch, I visited Pon Poko Tei, where my business partner recommended as the best eel restaurant.  This special bowl of eel and rice was so tasty much.  A sweet but salty sauce aroused my appetite.

Stomatitis

Last week, the huge stomatitis occurred in my tongue.  It was too painful for me to eat or drink.
I heard that  the stomatitis was relating to vitamin deficiency.  So I googled the vitamins-rich foods.

 It is said that Natto, avocado, and Mekabu (root of seaweed) are containng vitamin B, C, E family so much and recommended for stomatitis.

These food were chopped and mixed well.  They became very slimy.  Unexpectedly, it was very tasty and its stickiness protected the stomatitis when eating.

 At last my stomatitis was cured.
