During my trip to Fukuoka, I made a special visit to the original Taiho Ramen location in Kurume to try its famous local tonkotsu ramen. The steaming broth had a rich aroma and a deep, smooth flavor without being overly greasy. The thin noodles soaked up plenty of broth, filling every bite with bold pork-bone flavor. The chashu, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions added plenty of texture and depth.
The restaurant retains a strong nostalgic Japanese atmosphere, and the friendly service gave me a real sense of Kurume ramen's history and character. This meal not only satisfied my taste buds but also deepened my appreciation of Japanese ramen culture. If I get another chance to visit Fukuoka, I will definitely return for another unforgettable bowl of Taiho Ramen.

Jagarico
This popular potato snack has a crispy texture.The stick-shaped snack is packaged in a cup, making it easy to carry around.They come in salad, cheese, buttered potato, and tarako butter flavors. Their most popular flavor, salad, includes carrot and parsley.Limited-time and special regional flavors are also available.
My first time trying Calbee Jagarico potato sticks, and the texture was really unique! The short sticks are crispy but also have a bit of firmness, and they get more flavorful the more you chew. The salty taste makes them hard to stop eating. The compact cup is also very convenient, perfect for snacking while watching shows or traveling. Once I started popping them into my mouth one by one, I couldn't stop!

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence
This is a sunscreen essence for face and body. Impressively light even when reapplied or layered! It prevents uneven application even at the microscopic level.
After using Kao Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, I found the texture very moisturizing and easy to spread. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my face, and it absorbs quickly. It moisturizes while protecting against the sun, leaving my skin feeling soft and comfortable. It doesn't feel stuffy even in summer. Overall, it's refreshing and convenient to use, perfect for everyday outings, and I'd like to keep using it!

Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
The moment I stepped into Tokyo Disneyland, I instantly turned back into a carefree child! From the dreamy Cinderella Castle to the balloons floating everywhere, the air was filled with the happy, buttery aroma of Mickey waffles, making me want to dance along with the music!
The “Beauty and the Beast” ride we frantically tried to get into was truly stunning! When the huge ballroom lit up and the teacups spun gracefully to the classic melody, the scene of Belle and the Beast dancing together brought tears to my eyes. It was like stepping right into an animated storybook.
The nighttime parade was definitely the perfect grand finale! Colorful floats rolled by amid twinkling lights, and when Mickey waved enthusiastically from his float, everyone screamed and cheered. This trip was filled with magic—definitely a place worth visiting again and again to recharge! -
