19 August, Sunday - Sun day, moon in Virgo,
the 2nd day of the 8th lunar month.
I’m still doing the Golden Week Omiyage series!
Hakata (Fukuoka)
Mentai Nori; Dried Seaweed coated with
salted/spiced pollack roe.
'That's original, Nagahama Ramen' (noodles)
Hakata Torimon; Cake filled with white bean paste.
Golden week ♡ the longest vacation period of the year in Japan,
which starts from the end of April, and last around 5th of May.
People go back to their hometown or travel abroad in this period.
Oddly, Golden week never ends without Omiyage (souvenirs) here.
We exchange Omiyage with friends, siblings, colleagues,
and neighbours, piling up foods in the kitchen afterwards...
Omiyage let us know or taste popular products in each region.
Interesting.

Ramen and soup.
