I plan to take a short vacation to go to Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland)!!!
Let’s start getting ready!
I bought new mobile accessories for this trip: wide lens, thin carrying mobile case enabling to clip a wide lens, AC adapter with 4 USB ports and extra power bank♪
I need to check internet accessibility…. hummmm
I had a very interesting day.
First, we visited the Next-Generation Greenhouse (horticultural facility).
There are 7 greenhouse buildings in the area of 50a.
This facility targets high yields and high quality production by adopting the ICT advanced production control system: Ubiquitous Environment Control System (UECS).
It’s not only high-tech, but also eco-friendly facility by using a wood pellet heater to control the room temperature.
Then, we visited Kirishima Shochu Factory.
Shochu is a Japanese distilled liquor, less than 45% alcohol.
Shochu originated in Kyushu and this Kirishima Brand is the most popular Shochu in Japan and actively exporting to overseas.
The company produces 288,000 litters of Shochu per day. Wow
Shochu is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar.
We can enjoy it in many styles: straight, on the rocks, with cold water, with hot water, with hot water and umeboshi (sour plum) and cocktails.
Typically Shochu is about 25%, but WOW, I tried the raw spirit which is 36%!!
Yes, I enjoyed staying in Miyazaki.
But it’s time to say Sayonara (Good-Bye).
I returned to Tokyo; however, I will continue enjoying Miyazaki food in Tokyo.
I bought many Miyazaki souvenirs. hehehe
Top: Maximum (multi-purpose seasoning), Ganjisu Pork Curry, Ganjisu Beed Curry
Bottom: Yamamomo (bayberry), Mango, Green Tea
I couldn’t believe what’s happening at the Haneda Airport.
First, we were greeted by Pepper, a robot.
Then, we checked-in our luggage, but we need to do all ourselves by following instructions on the monitor!
I cannot believe this is not a movie, and happening in reality.
I could’t find a counter with a lady!
Or is it common in abroad???
I thought I am a modern person, but I guess I am not modern enough, outdated….
I departed rainy Haneda Airport in shock.
I arrived Miyazaki and checked-in to a nice room with nice view at Miyazaki Kanko Hotel.
I’ll absolutely enjoy spending most of my time in this room.
Yukata (Japanese styled pajama) is usually provided by hotels and inns in Japan.
We are allowed to walk public areas such as public hot spring bath in Yukata.
Fortunately, this hotel is equipped with a natural hot spring bath.
I enjoyed looking at the half-moon while dipping in an open-air bath♪
I will accompany my boss to attend a meeting in Miyazaki tomorrow.
It would be my first trip to Miyazaki and I look forward to it, especially the excursion session♪
Now I’m packing for two nights and three days trip.
I have complex skin: sensitive, oily and hives.
I need to bring these Curel make-up cleansing gel and forming wash.
Curel series are for sensitive skin and it has proven with my skin. (^_^)
I usually bring Babu carbonated bath tablet, too.
You put this tablet when you are about to enter a bathtub.
The carbonated bubble will wrap your body to relax.
This carbonated bath tablet is innovated by Japanese company, Kao Corporation, so I could say this is Japanese way of taking a bath!
I just notice, Curel is also produced by Kao Corporation.
I didn’t know that I’m a Kao girl. hahaha
