24.8.14 – Day 22 – (日)

Kagoshima (鹿児島) to Fukuoka (福岡)

Today I sadly leave Kagoshima for Fukuoka with the intention of dropping by a night and then catching an overnight bus from Fukuoka to Hiroshima. It will save both a bit of time and money and allows to me to spend another day in Fukuoka.

Re:Fukuoka and also a return to Tabicolle backpackers which is a small but quaint guesthouse. I have become quite fond of it for its homely atmosphere and the people it seems to attract the most (Koreans and Japanese it seems mostly!) Speaking of Koreans, Fukuoka is a big destination for many as it seems for I met many here! The reason is that Fukuoka is about a 50min ferry ride from Busan of South Korea.

Tempting…

I arrived at Fukuoka Bus Terminal around 3pm and proceeded to walk the familiar route to Tabicolle and use the night to catch up on work, emails and experiment with Japanese ingredients. This time it was experimenting with ‘dashi’ and ‘miso’. Both quintessential ingredients to making anything taste extremely addictive.

The result was miso-udon with softboiled eggs and spring onions. Self cooked food is always much more satisfying to eat.
