It's getting warmer and warmer in Japan! The rainy season will start in a few weeks, and after that, we'll expect that very, very hot summer coming!

What do you like to eat on a hot summer day??
I love to eat hot ramen noodles!

The photo is a famous ramen restaurant in Kobe.
It's called 'Ramen TARO'.

The greasy Chashu pork (it's a very popular ramen topping!) on the noodles tastes great with the noodles!

Have you ever tasted ramen noodles??
If you have, where did you eat it?

日本はだんだん暑くなってきました。あと２週間もすれば梅雨。その後はアツイ暑い夏がやってきます！

暑い日には何を食べたいですか？
私は・・・熱いラーメンが食べたい！

写真のお店は神戸の有名ラーメン店、「ラーメンたろう」です。

脂っこいチャーシューが麺とよく合って美味しいですよ！

ラーメンは食べたことありますか？
どこで食べましたか？

A railway crossing in Shioya, Kobe.

This area is very close to the sea, and you can see the ocean from inside the train.

このあたりは海が近くて、列車の中からも海が見えます(^^)

Amazingly beautiful waterfalls called 'Mototaki Fukuryusui' in Nikaho City, Akita.
As much as 50,000 tons of water comes out from the rocky surface of Mt. Chokaizan every day.

秋田県にかほ市の元滝伏流水という、とても美しい滝。
毎日５万トンの水が鳥海山の岩肌から流れ出てくるそうです。
