i0 i1 i2 (1) 九州人特に鹿児島の人にすれば醤油と言えば甘口!
これは今回の帰国で持って帰った極甘口でめちゃくちゃ美味しい
普通の醤油より大分お値段が高かったけどこんな美味しい醤油は初めて
関東の醤油は九州の人に取ったら辛過ぎてちょっと苦手
静岡のおばは鹿児島の醤油が苦手らしい
(2) 中国ミント??ずっとシソを探してきていたけど
アジアンマーケットでミントと書かれていて売られていたこの葉っぱ
シソに似ていたので以前に匂いをかいだけど、やっぱりシソの匂いがしない
しかし!! この前日本人の友達がこれシソだよ!と教えてくれた
使ってみるとなるほどシソの味がする。。
今までずっと欲しかったシソ!9年もの間気づかなかった。。
中国ではミントと言うのかな〜??
(3) 最後は留学時代の知りあいがヨーロッパに行っています。(ちょこっと借りてきました)
これは何だと思いますか??
オランダの町中にある男性用トイレ!!
外から丸見え!
でもやっぱりオランダ人の身長に合せてあるのか、、大分高くないですか?
