Restaurant-Review ☆CIB

I and my friends, Mari and Hirami went to eat the dinner in CIB.

CIB lies in Kumamoto Main street.

CIB is very cheap now, because they give us to chance to eat full course of French.

It is only 1800 yen to eat that course.

We enjoyed eating dinner, the orchestra started to perform their nice music in front of our table.

It's a jazz. Piano and Chinese instrumental and violin were played.

CIB gives us a healthy menu that it's mainly ingredient is vegetable.

Meet, salad, spaghetti, dessert. They give us 8 kinds of dishes.

In the 8 dish, Gouya which is Okinawa prefecture product as a healthy vegetable. It's very

healthy, but it taste very very bitter.

But It is good for health.

We don't like Gouya but we eat it for the health. We seldom have chance to eat it.

And after the main dish, we wait for eating desserts time.

We really expected this time!!!

CIB gives us 3kinds of sweets.

They are ice cream that tastes strawberry and cheese cake with raspberry sauce ,and Tira mi su.

Of course they are very delicious.

I want to go there again.

I like Kakigouri!!

I like summer. Summer lasts very hot day. I don’t like hot day so much, but we have some ways how to spend the hot day. I usually stay my house or go to river. I’m looking forward to eat Kakigouri that is a Japanese traditional sweet. I like it. It’s like a ice, it’s based on ice.

And we added the syrup on the ice which you like. We can be chosen in the various tastes. It made us cool. Japanese like it very much. Kakigouri reminds us to come the summer season.

It often sold in the sea side. It’s very cheap.

Kumamoto in Japan

Today I'll introduce some Kumamoto's features.

Mt. Aso is famous for that caldera. It is the biggest caldera in the world.

A lot of visitor visit there to watch it all the year around.

Its view is very very magnificent.

The mountain seems to go into action silently.
The mountain emittes clouds of smoke.



Next, Kumamoto castle.

Kumamoto castle is built in1607.
So it've been built solid for 400 years.
And this castle contrived anyone can't go up wall.
The wall is designed slantingly.
Japanese 'Bushi' couldn't go up the wall.
This is the measure any enemy couldn't step in the castle.

It's the wisdom of the predecessors.


Hot springs, there are. Kumamoto is also famous for hot springs.
The water quality is a pulp.

It makes skin smooth and relax time to us.
Kurokawa Onsen is sometimes visited people who lives in not Kumamoto but also neighbor prefecture.


Third 'IKINARI dumpling'.

It'a dumpling , its inside is in bean paste which mixed potato.

Its crust is a little hard, but it's thin.
If you eat it, you feel full up. Because it made mainly potatos.
It's one of the country's dish. It seems good old taste.
