This was the lip-bum which gave to me by Miko-chan while I need it since i forgot to bring mine.
This was honey flavor, smell good~
Today, Otosan brought me to a restaurant called Tou Sen Kyou to eat Somen.
Sōmen are very thin--less than 1.3 mm in diameter it is white Japanese noodles made of wheat flour.
The noodles are usually served cold. The noodles' diameter is the chief distinction between sōmen and the thicker wheat noodles hiyamugi and Japanese wheat noodles udon.
Somen noodles are stretched when made, as are some types of udon noodles.
Sōmen are usually served cold with a light flavored dipping sauce or tsuyu. The tsuyu is usually a katsuobushi-based sauce that can be flavored with Welsh onion, ginger, or myoga.
In the summer, sōmen chilled with ice is a popular meal to help stay cool.
Yum Yum~
This was the picture snapped by Miko-chan before we step into the restaurant and beside the sign board was the maple tree. They said I am lucky to see it because during this season, the tree should be "botak". *laugh*
We used to order our food at this counter.
Otosan help me to order a bowl of Nyumen which is Sōmen served in hot soup and eaten in the winter, it is much like soba or udon.
This was the tsuyu (sauce) which used to eat with the Sōmen.
Sake with lots of flavor.
This was the table which needed for the Sōmen since this restaurants offer "nagashi sōmen" (流しそうめん flowing noodles) which normally eat by diners during the summer.
Traditionally, the noodles are placed in a long flume of bamboo across the length of the restaurant but may be for the hygiene purpose, this restaurant offer a round shape flume water moving machine on each and every table.
When we settle down on one of the table, the waitress helped us to on the machine and the flume which carries clear, ice-cold water started to move.
Honestly, since this was my first time seeing this flume, I am impressed and it is cool~*laugh*
This is how we eat Somen.
As the Sōmen pass by, pluck them out with the chopsticks and dip them in tsuyu.
Aw, it was taste good! I had fallen to it. You should really try it yourself !
I loved the most is when the cold Somen moving in my mouth.
OM OM OM...Yummy !
The feeling was like, we eat ice-cream when the day is cold. Aw~ incredible !
But, catching the noodles really requires a fair amount of dexterity.
In the photo, those pots which is covering by a brown wooden cover were Nyumen !
Which more or less same as the cold Somen, the only different was Nyumen served with hot soup.
After our meal, we went for a walk at the surrounding before we go home.
This was Fuku Kaeru (the lucky Frog).
Do it looks like the Fuku Kaeru statue which shown in the Spirited Away? *laugh*
Aw~ a shark ! Run for your life !
*laugh*
Don't worry, it is a tiny little fish which won't bite people if you don't disturb it. haha, and it had a name, called Bester.
This was a drawing which formed by toothpicks. Those peoples are so creative and incredible !
This was the map of Kagoshima.
Okasan and Otosan is pointing at the place we stayed in.
This was a photo when we are at the Kamafuta Jinja (Shrine of Kamafuta)
Those stuff which on our head was the Kama Futa which is a pot's cover.
According to their culture regards Kama Futa, we have to put the Kama futa on our head and walk along a distance which set by them without holding the Kama Futa. If the Kama futa dropped, the prayer have to start all over again. When it is succeed, sound the bell which is prepared at the end of the destination and you will be blessed.
Later, we went to few more of Jinja (Shrine), but the most interested me was the Kama Futa Jinja.
