This is the fourth part of my Japanese Food-Porn series. Check out the third one if you missed it: https://findpenguins.com/6jjjgruit3szw/footprin…

This part mainly features the dishes I encountered in the south of Japan and in particular the 6-course menu I had on the Amami Islands.

In Fukuoka, I went to a very nice Yakiniku restaurant across the street from my hotel. The food was excellent 👌 not only the beef 🥩 was nice and tender - also the salad 🥗 they served came with a very tasty dressing. Eating salad is quite unusual for Japan and I believe this was the first salad I ate in weeks.

In Nagasaki, I tried a spicy version of dipping noodles 🍜 at a Ramen place for the first time. In contrast to Ramen you get the sauce and the noodles as well as other ingredients (chicken 🍗, lettuce 🥬, mung bean sprouts 🌱, …) in separate bowls or plates. Then you can mix them as you like. As the name suggests, you are supposed to dip the noodles 🍜 as well as other ingredients into the sauce.

On the Amami islands, I stumbled into a Mr. Donut store while I was going on a walk and ordered a donut 🍩 in Pokéball style. The Pikachu style ones were already sold out. Otherwise I would have gladly gotten also one of them. 😅
As I wrote in my other post, I went to a very popular local restaurant on Amami-Oshima. I enjoyed the food there very much. My favorites were definitely the Sashimi as well as the Onigiri but the other courses were really tasty. 😋Read more
