Kagoshima

After another decedent meal at Ryokan Wakaba we had a lovely drive across and down the mountain from Kurokawa Onsen. Cypress Pines, bamboo, rice fields and beautiful views over towards the volcano. It is lovely in these mountains we wished we were keeping the car for a few more days.
Hit some traffic coming into Kumamoto and that slowed us down for a while.
On the Shinkansen now on our way to Kagoshima.

Not the best day weather wise when we got to Kagoshima, so what we’d planned for the afternoon didn’t seem like a good idea. After a break at the hotel we headed into town to find Tenmonkan, a city district with bars and restaurants. It didn’t look too inspiring at first but livened up after all the workers started heading home.
We followed another couple into a bar kitchen. Three young blokes behind the bar, no English menu, lots of sign language and a few odd words on both sides. Goodness these boys were good though.
Entertaining, skilful, helpful, generous. A couple of people sitting beside us helped us out with food suggestions and communication as well.
Funniest thing you should have seen the look on the chefs face when I said I wanted another Sake! 😂😂
Another lovely night to remember. Luckily we still managed to find our way back to the hotel. Czytaj więcej
