Cosmos Field & Noodle Restaurant -Onga & Okagaki













Cosmos season is almost over. My mom kept mentioning that we should visit this cosmos field along Onga River before it's over. When we finally made it, flowers were a little bit fading but still beautiful. On the way, we stopped by "Shouro" in Okagaki. It is a very known chanpon noodle restaurant in town. Chanpon noodle is originally from Nagasaki. Shouro's chanpon tastes very light and healthy with plenty of vegetables. Usually soup in noodle soup tends to taste too salty for me but their soup was just perfect. Each of us ordered small (630 yen) which filled us up more than enough.

コスモスのシーズンはそろそろ終わり。遠賀川沿いのコスモス畑に終わる前に行かなきゃ行かなきゃ、と母。やっと行ってみたところ、花は少し色あせていたものの、まだきれいでした。その途中で『松露』という岡垣の有名なチャンポン屋さんへ立ち寄りました。『松露』のチャンポンは、野菜たっぷりでとてもあっさり味のヘルシー味。たいてい麺類のスープは濃すぎに感じがちなのですが、ここのは絶妙でした。二人でそれぞれ小(630円)を注文したところ、十分すぎるほどの量でした。




I found a small mantis in front of the back door when we came home. He turned his face towards me as I came closer to him. He was looking at me as if he was investigating me. It's such a bug central here! This morning was a big fat green grasshopper that hopped near me. I am getting used to it.... a little bit....

帰宅すると裏戸の前にカマキリ君。近づくと、顔をこちらに向け、いかにも探るようにじっと見ていました。なんともここはムシ王国!今朝はというと大きく太った緑のバッタちゃんがぴょんぴょん近寄ってきました。だんだん慣れてきたかな、、、。ちょっとだけ、、。

  1. Nice shot of a mantis, I think he’s smiling at you…? I like insects for their unique, machine-like shapes… as long as they’re printed nice & flat on books. Real things will only make me scream. (Size doesn’t matter!)
