Aso with KANA

I and Kana went to Aso to eat delicious food. We gathered at noon in Yamaga and she drove her car.
We went to Nishihara village. We want to go to "Milk's village"

and "Kugino in sweets village". They are situated in Kugino village in Aso city. First we dropped in Milk's farm and eat parfait ( including good soft cream). We enjoyed eating and chatting and viewing nice view.

Second we went to Kugino village in Kugino village. We couldn't reach the place because Kugino village is not familiar place for us. We asked how to go there and found the place.

It is the time maybe 4:3o to reach there. When we reached the place, the shopper was just going to close the shop. We thought it is so early to close the shop so we were going to go the shop. The shop owner explained there were not so much cakes to sell for customers so he wanted to close the shop.

We wanted to buy and eat cakes at there because it took so long time to reach the shop. Maybe 2~3 hours.

But shop owner showed us some cakes. maybe there are 8 cakes are there. We bought 2 cakes from them. The shop owner are so good man so he gave us 4 cakes at free! Because there are cakes but it is no use for him. Maybe he ate many cakes at there. We are very excited to his nice spirits.

After that we went to Yamaga city to eat dinner at joyful. We ate dinner and cakes (we went there with cakes secretly).

Today's MAKANAI

This is today's MAKANAI at Wararaka. I finished working there at 21:50 so I don't have enough time to eat regular makanai.
Yutami san made this Makanai for me.
Yutami san's rice balls are so cute! When I usually eat Makanai, it is so big for me. Today's makanai is so much quantity for me!

Today's menu is mini rice balls and dried curry.
Dried Curry is so so nice! A chef de cuisine stewed the curry for 4 hours. In fact, I don't like curry but I like it! This curry is not so spicy and this is very juicy curry! It's taste like a meat source of pasta.
I like Makanai.
