Hello Everybody! First of all I'm very excited to be here writing my own post after reading posts here and got so inspired by all. ๐ My name (or cybername here) is nomnomnoodle, which I can confirm that it's totally me. I'm such a foodie (especially noodle dishes) and also a girl who always has to find something to do (well both in and out of Thailand, my home), so I thought it'd be nice to share those with you guys here.
I'd start my first post with both #nomnomtraveller โ๏ธโค๏ธ and #nomnomfoodie
My Family and I love love love taking our family trip to Japan. We've been to Japan many times before. Few reasons are that it's so easy to travel, the culture is amazing and most importantly (especially for my dad) the bathroom is the best and reliable ye.. pretty much everywhere throughout Japan.
After years of Covid, we can finally take our trip to Japan and this time we go up North ๐ฅถ Hokkaidล ๐
We started on the 23rd of February leaving from Suvannabhumi Airport and after 6 hours flight we arrived in the morning of 24th at New Chitose Airport (CTS)
We were really excited to see the snow after so long of no traveling outside Thailand and the temperature below 5 degree is a prefect welcoming present from Hokkaido
After getting our luggage and making sure that we tropical people have put on enough jackets and warmie stuffs, we hopped on our bus and our snowy trip. The airport is pretty far from the town so it did take us a couple of hours to go to our first city called "Furano". As Napolรฉon once said "an army marches on its stomach" and so do we. Our first stop is lunch in the Japanese hotpot set, which I guess I don't have to tell you how much I love souppie meal like this.
There's a pot in the middle for everyone could eat from and also a rice set (with tempura and salad you know Japanese nibble stuff ) and let me tell you guys, eating hot seafood/fish soup in the cold day like this is just like a warm hug. One of the best feeling ever (great analogy right? ๐)
The restaurant is called "Kumagera" which means black woodpecker. They also has woodpecker decorations in the restaurant, which is so cute and very much go with the name.
When we're there the staff just lit up the pot because she insists that us to have a nice hot meal and not have it cooked beforehand.
Oh right other than hotpot we have Schnitzel (without the crumbs), Kara-ake (fried smaller-pieces chicken) to eat with rice. People always thought that Japanese ppl doesn't eat a lot, well.. here at Kumagera, they sure served us more than enough, y'all.
kampai! ๐ฅ means cheers (Of course with Sake here in Japann)
And of course, the dessert "Strawberry Moji". I am not a big fan of it but it's nice after a big meal so I didn't hate it.
Another thing before I forgot is that their bathroom is soo small, but surprisingly practical to fit a big guy like my dad in there. So in conclusion it was great impressive first meal for our first day.
I think I should leave it at that for this first post and I'll tell you guys about the next museums that we went to. Thank you so much everybodyyy.๐
