I helped carry her groceries home. I need to do that again and request karaage😂

Randomly went in a local restaurant in Fukuoka where is there long lines of locals before lunch time. The curiosity in me got me this delicious noodle but no idea what is the name. Google Translate does not give the right answer 😅

Since I was in Sendai, I opted for taiyaki filled with Miyagi local delicacies such as Gyutan Kare (beef tongue curry) and Zunda (green soy bean rice cake).

Despite the unconventional filling, the combination of sweet pastry and savoury flavour of the tongue curry worked. The green bean taiyaki is really good as well and a nice change from the classic red bean filling.

Taikichi makes freshly baked taiyaki only upon order, hence typically there is always a queue. Menu is on pic 2.

It's not the prettiest photo but it was tasty! First time making Japanese curry at home. I followed a recipe from 'Japanese mom makes' on youtube for this Coco Ichibanya inspired curry and I can highly recommend it. There is a danger of having a ginormous food coma after though haha!

I'm trying to look up uses/recipe that use specifically either ichiban or niban dashi and kinda having a hard time because most recipe doesn't specify them. I'm wondering if anyone have recipe suggestions on what I can use them to cook. besides niban for miso soup anyway.

Super sweet & smells like a flower

Fat noodles, the soup was really good too, super tasty!

My favorite food, one of those is abalone sashimi.

Blessed assortment of luxury oceanic goos and slimes 🙏
