In the last few weeks of August we had to say goodbye to Oguni and move to Kumamoto City. We spent some of the time packing, but we also took the time to visit some places we'd never been and spend time with friends that we will definitely miss.
One place we went was Manma, an izakaya in Oguni that is excellent. One thing we especially like about it is that the countertop is covered with the dishes of the day, making it feel like a Spanish tapas bar. The beer was cold and delicious and the food was incredible. Thank you for inviting us, Kiku.
We also had a goodbye dinner with Watanabe and Mika in Manganji. The restaurant was an addition tacked on between a home and its storage shed, as one of the interior walls was the outside of the shed. The owner is energetic and talkative, and a few days later we saw him on television, bathing in the local onsen when some celebrities arrived.
We also traveled around the area to say farewell to our friends at different ryokan. We'll definitely return someday.
