Hot water lax
One of the reasons I came to Kumamoto was toHot water lax', so this has already been achieved.

Another purpose is to be a whiskey distillery.Yamaga Distillery” was to visit.

Although it is possible to access Kumamoto Station and Yamaga Distillery using public transportation, the number of trains per day is limited. .
Since I am recovering from an illness and I am still worried about my physical condition, I decided to postpone it this time. .
The next time I visit Kumamoto or Kyushu, I will be in perfect physical condition or I won't be able to do any tastings, but I would like to reserve a rental car. .
So, ``Hot water laxWe had breakfast at `` and enjoyed the hot springs and sauna until the very last minute of check-out time.
Heisei Station - Kumamoto Station
After checking out, we headed towards Kumamoto Station.
Since we didn't have a good time for the bus, we decided to go by train.
Nearest station ``Heisei station”.
Literally ``Heisei'', so for me, who was born in the Heisei era, I feel nostalgic somehow.
There are surprisingly few trains to Kumamoto Station, about two per hour, and you have to wait about 20 minutes to board the train.
Kumamoto Station is just one stop away, so it took less than 5 minutes to get there.
Kumamoto is more prosperous around the bus terminal than around Kumamoto Station.
That said, there are commercial facilities and restaurants around Kumamoto Station, so it seems like you can have a lot of fun there.
Suganoya Kumamoto Station store
Speaking of Kumamoto,horse sashimi”, so there is “Suganoya Kumamoto Station store”.

I enjoyed the horse sashimi platter and liver sashimi.
Amakusa HERO Sushi Ushibukamaru Kumamoto Station Branch
After the horse sashimi, I was planning to finish my meal with ramen, but it looks like I still have some room in my stomach.
So, ``Amakusa HERO Sushi Ushibukamaru Kumamoto Station Branch”, where we mainly enjoyed toppings from Amakusa and Ushibuka.

I don't think there are many sushi restaurants where you can enjoy so much local food.
I stopped by for some reason, and was able to enjoy surprisingly delicious sushi.
Kyushu Shinkansen Kumamoto Station - Hakata Station k
Originally, after this, ``Tengaiten Kumamoto Station storeI wanted to eat ramen at the restaurant, but my stomach turned out unexpectedly so I decided to give it up. .

There was a Shinkansen at just the right time, so I decided to take it.
There seemed to be some free seats available, but I wanted to make sure I was seated, so I chose a reserved seat since the difference was about 500 yen.
Inside the Shinkansen ticket gate, a giant Kumamon will see you off at the last minute.
It's been about 3 years since I've been to Kumamoto, but I think it's filled with the charm of meat, seafood, and food.
This time I stayed in Kumamoto for a short time, 1 night and 2 days, so next time I would like to stay in Kumamoto a little longer, and although I won't be able to drink alcohol, I would like to see areas such as Aso and Amakusa that can only be reached by rental car.
While I was thinking about this, the Shinkansen arrived and I boarded it and headed towards Hakata.
The journey from Kumamoto to Hakata took about 50 minutes, and after a good night's sleep, we arrived at Hakata Station in no time.
If Hakata wasn't the last stop on the Shinkansen, I might have overslept. .
Makino Udon Hakata Bus Terminal Store
After a good night's sleep on the Shinkansen, I had some room in my bloated stomach, so I decided to eat udon, a specialty of Fukuoka and Hakata.
So, I went to the ``Makino Udon Hakata Bus Terminal Store” I visited.

I usually prefer chewy udon like Sanuki, Mizusawa, and Inaniwa, but sometimes I like udon with a chewy texture that isn't chewy.
Above all, udon noodles tend to absorb the juice, so it's interesting to add some of the juice when it gets low.
Hotel Cabinus Fukuoka
After the meal, we will stay overnight in Fukuoka this time.Hotel Cabinus Fukuoka” Check in.

After checking in, enjoy a bath and a light sauna to work up a sweat, then head out into the city of Fukuoka at night.
Bar Kitchen
Speaking of nights in Fukuoka, there are many things to do. .
What alcohol lovers, or rather whiskey lovers, do is go to bars.
Tomorrow'sWhiskey Talk Fukuoka”, a famous Fukuoka restaurant “Bar Kitchen” I visited Mr.

We drank various things.
The 92 Bruckladdich was full of barley flavor, the 89 Bunnahabin had a hint of tropical fruit, and the Laphroaig 30 Year Old was truly delicious, and the hand-filled Bowmore finished off perfectly.
When I looked back on it later, it was mostly Islay type. .
You will be overwhelmed by the number of bottles at the back bar, and it is also attractive that you can get it for much cheaper than drinking in Tokyo.
Sponsored by Whiskey Talk FukuokaBar Higuchi” was also a place I would like to visit, but it is often difficult to get in as it is extremely crowded every year, so I would like to visit it when I visit Fukuoka when it is not an event.

Original Ramen Nagahama
Although I'm talking about going bar-hopping, I'm not in the best of health, so I decided to stop bar-hopping after just one bar and call it a day.
So, ``Ganso Ramen Nagahamaya (commonly known as Ie 1)” I visited.

Usually ``Hakata ramenIf you are eating tonkotsu ramen that is classified asNagahama RamenI think this is my first time eating this.
Although the flavor of the tonkotsu itself felt weak, I was attracted by the fun of customizing it with table-top ramen sauce and seasonings, and above all, the low price of 500 yen ramen + 100 yen extra egg.
Original Nagahamaya
Next, we went to the real original Nagahama Ramen, which is about a 3 minute walk away.Original Nagahamaya” I visited.

I feel that they are all the same in the same framework of Nagahama ramen, but I felt that the noodles and soups were similar and different, and I felt that people had different tastes as to which restaurant they liked.
Personally, I thinkOriginal Nagahamaya” I liked it better.
Hotel Cabinus Fukuoka
After the meal,Hotel Cabinus Fukuoka”, sweated in the bath and went to bed immediately, and the second day was over.
Continued on the third day.
