福岡 イチゴ 明太子

A newspaper article on yday's chinese newspaper reported about the famous Fukuoka Strawberries. It said during Sakura season, Japanese will buy some strawberries and eat it under the Sakura trees. Oh, no wonder when i was there, there's aplenty of strawberries in the supermarkets and they were quite cheap, from Y299/box.

The article also reports tat Fukuoka is one of the major exporter of strawberries, fruits and green tea worldwide. The farmers had a better life because of the International market. Japanese government supports the farmers by giving them grants to innovate and buy better machineries.

Fruits exports worldwide will print "福" on it's packaging because it is a lucky symbol and also means their perfecture.

Just refreshed my memory. Fukuoka perfecture --> Hakata city.

I think it was in Hakata that i saw the dried strawberry noodles and many strawberry candies,snacks etc. Hakata city is also famous for it's ramen and 明太子 (fish roe?). Tried it's ramen but i think Sapporo ramen is the best.

Hakata ramen. I didnt know they are famous for it's ramen until on the way back to Osaka, i smsed my supplier to say i went to Hakata. Then, she replied 'oh, Hakata is famous for ramen." Heng, i ate a bowl for lunch. I feel it was so-so nia..

I dont know what is 明太子 until i asked my father host. He drew a picture of it hahaha...and the next day, he went to supermart to buy a small pack. I tasted a few bits,,err, it was fishy and abit salty. Japanese ate it with steamed rice. There are spicy and non-spicy type.

Yummy ichigos. Vonnie, pls buy some at their supermarts when you are there. it is really cheap.
