It is enjoyable to eat many kinds.
One enjoyable thing for many people traveling by train in Japan is eating Ekiben.
I am one of those people too.
Ekiben is station betou.
There are so many kinds, so it is difficult to choose.
A lot of them are pretty, but it is better to not expect too much…
But I like Ekiben.
You can see night time Sakura at the Fukuoka castle ruins.
It is illuminated.
I went there last year.
It was beautiful.
This year’s light up is from tomorrow (March 25th) to April 3rd.
You can also see Sakura in Fukuoka.
These ones are in Sasayama park near Jr. Maibaru station.
There are 800 Sakura trees there.
It was gorgeous.
These photos are from last year.
This year they will start blooming any moment.
In Kyoto ‘Tanuki’ is a thick cornstarch broth style of udon or soba.
This is Tanuki soba at Tagoto soba restaurant on Shinkyogoku street.
This restaurant has continued over 100 years, since the Meiji era–over 3 generations.
The Tanuki soba had deep-fried bean curd, sliced ginger and leeks.
It was very good.
By the way, Tanuki in Tokyo is soba or udon with bits of deep-fried tempura batter.
Tanuki in Osaka is only soba with deep-fried bean curd.
Tanuki originally is the name of an animal called a ‘raccoon dog’ in English.
And Kitsune (fox) is udon with deep-fried bean curd.
