Just returned from a 13 day Kyushu trip and I am so tired and my brain is mush.
Went straight to Kurokatsutei at Hakata station for black pig goodness!
It was raining and while that was bad for the outdoor seats, it was great for the ground because the water reflected the illuminations outside Hakata station.
First time I had flown into Fukuoka international airport. The most amazing thing is that the airport is on 2 stops from Hakata station!
It takes 1 hr plus to get from Narita to central Tokyo using normal train. I think Osaka was 40 mins?
Whoever had the great idea to make the airport that close to the city centre is a genius! It does take 10 mins to take the bus from international to domestic to catch the train but that is a small price to pay. You can see the poster for Doctor X Final movie which came out yesterday I think.
New ramen place I tried called Ichiryu in Nakasu.
Not bad, they went crazy on the sesame seeds which I assume is their signature. Would definitely go again.
Went to Shinshin under Kitte on the basement level. Got chahan beside the usual kaedama.
Went to the Kurume central park.
Found this game shop called Vita. At first I went to the shop one the left which only had manga and trading cards. Luckily saw a sign that said game shop in the next shop.
Found a decent priced Initial D and Big 3 Gun Shooting.
Went to Taiho ramen Kurume again and it was very ok. I do not know why it gets talked up so much. I don't dislike it but it loses to so many other tonkotsu ramen placed.
Caught up with a friend who brought me to Tomimatsu Unagi.
This is actually koi or carp meat. First time ever.
Then it was unajyuu time. The muddle one was salted unagi.
Went to the Kurume art gallery to feed some koi to say sorry for eating them.
You can buy the feed for 50 yen I think.
Then we had Yakiniku at Niku no Nakatsuru. Fun fact, the building it is situated in a used yakuza building which has a car park.
Fukuoka really getting into Xmas.
A lot of stands selling mulled wine and food.
Kuroge wagyu burger and Moss chicken from Moss Burger. It has taken me so long to realise that Moss Kitchen actually does chicken! Unfortunately the burger and chicken were just meh.
Sazaesan has it's first new character in 39 years. lol.
Do not ever eat ramen at a shopping centre. Horrible excuse for ramen at Lalaport.
Giant Gundam at Lalaport.
My favourite find of the trip, a Metal Gear Solid jacket from GU!
I love how it has the name of all Cobra Unit members at the back
Steakhouse Volks: Not worth the money. Would have been happier at Pepper Lunch.
Went to the Gion branch of Hataka-ramen issou.
Not bad. I think Nakasu is still my favourite of the 3. Can't believe the main store is the worst one though I have to give it one more try.
Bought some nice reading material from Maruzen. Did notice it was difficult to find older artbooks in Kyushu.
