We woke up and Suzette bathed in the private onsen in our room.
Then we went to breakfast. I ate an American breakfast of toasted cinnamon toast, French toast, a fried egg, several pieces of Japanese omelet, a sausage, a slice of bacon, sautéed mung beans and bacon, Earl Grey tea, and tiramisu. Suzette ate several Shu mai and cinnamon toast and coffee.
We then waited for the bus that drove us to the train station for the train that took us back to Kagoshima where we grabbed a ham and cream cheese sandwich and caught the bullet train to Futuoka, arriving around 3:30
We checked into the elegant Miyako hotel in Futuoka. And at 5:00 we went to the subway station to go to an area along a canal with food stalls and a visually exciting display of Santa Clauses and lights.
We stopped at one and I had a bowl of soup with fried fish cake, tofu, and quail eggs and Suzette ordered BBQ’s beef tendon. Not very exciting food but we washed it down with a small pitcher of warm sake.
We then proceeded to another stand with a red banner and we both ordered bowls of ramen with pork, green onions, and black woof threads and scallions that was delicious. Suzette drank a beer and I drank a glass of hot oolong tea. We also ordered a plate with five gyoza that was terrific, also.
We then walked to a cab stand and took a cab back to hotel..
When we returned around 8:00 we went to the bar on the 13th floor with a view of the city. Suzette ordered a Japanese single malt whiskey and I ordered a Kahlua and milk with a dash of rum.
We returned to the room and soon fell asleep in the big comfortable beds.
Bon Appetit
