Hi all!

Have ever eaten “Tokushima ramen” (Tokushima noodle)?
When I went to Tokushima with my friend, we have a lunch in one of Tokushima ramen shop.

The shop “Fukuri” which we choose seems to be contained in delicious Tokushima ramen ranking!

My friend order the “Niku Tama Ramen” which a roasted pork fillet and egg were in.
I order the “Tamago Ramen” which a little bit roasted pork fillet and egg were in.

And the ramen so yummy!!!
The soup has rich taste and delectably. But not heavy tasting.
The roasted pork fillet was a pulp and like a melting in my mouth.

We are lucky! Because we chose the shop as it happens!
When I go to Tokushima next time, I wanna visit and eat again!

Kazurabashi (Kazura bridge) in Tokushima

20/08/2014

Hi all!

The post carries on from yesterday.
We went to “Kazurabashi” (Kazura bridge) after Iya onsen.
Here is one of a sightseeing spot in Tokushima, and many people came the bridge because it was summer holiday in Japan.

Kazura Bashi is rudimentary cable suspension bridge. The bridge over the canyon in this secluded mountain villages is also associated with the legend of fleeting Heike clan, once most powerful ruler. And it’s made of Actinidia auguta (a kind of kiwi vine) and is 45 meters long, 2 meters wide. It weighs approx. 5 tones and is suspended 15 meters above streams.

We ate “Dekomawashi” in Kazurabashi.
Dekomawashi is local food in Iya.
It’s a dish prepared by skewering foodstuffs such as tofu, buckwheat dumpling, konnyaku pasting them with Japanese-lemon (citron) flavored miso (bean paste) and then roasting them.
It was delicious with Japanese-lemon (citron) flavored!
Also they selling sweetfish too.

The area is long gorge so you can enjoy rafting, boat walking and lots more with nature!
You can enjoy and stay all day in Iya!
