FUKUOKA - THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

The next few days, we were busy visiting business partners and some old friends. We missed "Cherry Blossoms" as the season ended a day before our arrival.

A walk in Ohori Park(大濠公園) brought back lots of fond memories.

Ohori Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Japan and loved by local people as a relaxation spot.

The next best thing is to enjoy Fukuoka cuisine which is considered one of the best in Japan.

 One of our favourites is this "Yaki Niku" shop.

Saga beef from Kyushu.  

 Plenty of green and "kimchi".

Another favourite of mine is the "Kushi-Age" 串揚げ(Skewer) served by this small Japanese restaurant near Nakasu.

 

 

The "Kushi-Age" 串揚げ consist of deep fried vegetables, fish and meat on skewers.

To end the dinner, the "Master" of the shop served us three types of "Ochazuke". "Ochazuke" is a popular Japanese dish served with rice in green tea and some salty toppings or pickled vegetables. 

We had the toppings of salmon flakes, roasted seaweed with ginger and sesame seeds.

These were two of the most enjoyable meals with the company of our Japanese friends.
