Yamaguchi's Food

This is Hanakkori-salad spaghtti. Do you know Hanakkori? Hanakkori is a original vegetable of Yamaguchi! It's mixed saisinn(I don't know how to spell) which is from China and broccoli.

It can be easily eaten only by boilling it as broccoli. And it's taste is very light.

And this is a Kawara-Soba. "Kawara" means "tile", "Chyasoba" means "tea buckwheat noodle". Many people might know this. But don't know that it is local speciality of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi! I don't know, too.

It is a dish that put the tea buckwheat noodle andingredients on the heated tile as shown in the name.
This is one of my favorite food!
