Recommended Menu
This time, I went for the tiger prawn skewer!
I was so excited I nearly tried feeding it to the crocodile statue in front of me…
But no way — I’m eating this myself!!!
Just look at those bright red prawns — absolutely irresistible!
One bite and…
Ohhhhhhhhh my!!!
So unbelievably delicious!!!
You can eat the entire shell — wonderfully roasted and fragrant!
I’m in heaven!!!
The joy of eating every single bite — shell and all —
brings out a deep, smoky flavor that’s beyond delicious.
The salt seasoning is also spot-on,
with just the right amount of salty kick that keeps you reaching for more.
And when it’s gone, you’ll find yourself thinking,
“Wait… it can’t be over already…?”
It vanishes from your hands faster than you’d believe!
I really hope you all get a chance to try this!
Definitely add it to your Kumamoto travel itinerary!
