related to Kumamoto

  I introduce Kumamoto's foods today. I love those food!!

Kumamoto’s foods are traditional and delicious. Kumamoto’s famous foods include basashi, karashirenkon, dagoziru, and ikinaridango among others.

First of all, I think the most famous food in Kumamoto is Karashirenkon. It is yerrow color and very spicy.   I couldn't eat spicy, so when I was a child, I ate out of Karashi. haha  I can't stop eat Karashirennkon because  we become absorbed in this. Karashirenkon is mustard in a lotus root’s hole. It is very delicious, but it is hot.

 Basashi is raw house meat, and it is expensive. This food is amazing for another cities people because it is out of the ordinary. I think that people eat house only Kumamoto. Those are very good taste. My favorite how to eat is with soy sauce and ginger.

Dagoziru is a miso soup with a lot of vegetables, and what local people call dago, which is a lamp of flour. It is a heart warming taste. My parents often cook it, and I like it.

Iki naridango mean “suddenly dumpling.” This is named to give it suddenly to a customer in old days. Ikinaridango is a sweet potato and bean jam in dumpling, so it is very sweet. My father likes it very much. Haha

Last of all, I will introduce about “taipi-en”. There are Chinese restaurants, and this is famous food for Kumamoto’s people because when we were a junior high school student, and when we were a elementally school student, we often had this as school lunch. This food is right picture, and this is noodles. “taipi-en” is very healthy for us because this is a low calorie food, and there are a lot of vegetables on the noodle. We feel lightly seasoned food.

Please try those foods in by all means.

About KGU

Welcome back to my podcast!!!!! Here!

Enjoy KGU !!

Enjoy KGU !!!!!!
by Kaori, Yuki


We will introduce our lovely university : )





My college has junior high school, high school and kindergarten attached to the university. I graduated from attached high school. That school is very famous because school uniform is very cute and the school’s academic ability is very high. The uniform’s color is white and blue and many junior high school girl students want to wear the uniform. And there are a lot of interesting events, for example freshman camp, swimming tournament, an athletic meet, a chorus contest, culture festival, class match, and so on. Nowadays, a junior high school attached to the university was built. It is very beautiful building and it has beautiful garden.



KGU’s bakery looks like our garden because we are usually in there! The bakery has a lot of drinks, tables, people, foods, sweets musics, and breads. The bakery has some famous breads. For example, it is curry bread, hamburger bread, cookies, pie of blueberry and so on. It is pretty good taste, so we love them. What is more, we can sat across the table from each other with friends while we are eating. Also, the bakery has hear us some BGMs. The bakery usually has o lot of people in lunch times because it is easy for us to spend enjoying in the times : ).



I am one of the English lounge’s staff, so I will introduce to there. English lounge was built by student’s demand. And, there is such a comfortable place. If you visit there, you could drink coffee and red tea and cocoa. And there are a lot of games, for example cards, osero, darts, and so on. But when you are in English lounge, you have to obey the regulations that you must not speak Japanese!! In there, you can speak only English : ) Exchange students also use that place. So, you think you want to talk with them, please come to English lounge!! I will wait for you : )






KGU’s school restaurant has a lot of foods, for example,  curry rice, katsudon, pasta, soft cream, hayashi rice, tantanmen, katsu, rice, bibinba, udon, soba, and so on. My favorite foods is ‘ontama curry’. It is such a nice good taste! It looks like hot spring egg on curry. Also, the restaurant is large, so we are able to relax. We usually enjoy talking with friends in here, and it is used as a place that circle members often gather. The restaurant opens from the morning to the night, so a lot of people use at here every day. Please come to our restaurant!




KGU has a lot of events, for example freshman camp, culture festival, athletic meet, parade in down town.... I think culture festival which is called “takuma festival” is the most interesting and biggest event. That festival was held on October, but that event’s preparation starts from July. Because before that event, we walk around in down town to advertise that festival. Then, we wear some costume which was made by ourselves, and carry a portable shrine on men’s shoulder. In that festival, many circle members sell a lot of foods and announce some programs. And every year, some famous entertainers and a singer are invited and let them concert : )!! Last year, Shimizu Syouta was invited to our university. I didn’t go that concert, but every people who went to that concert enjoyed it. This year, I don’t know who come to our school to sing but I want to go!!


KGU’s library is formed of three floors and underground two halls. This building is so big and beautiful! It is used by a lot of students and teachers, also other university’s student can our library. It has eight hundred thousand, and the number become increase more and more now. also, this library has some function, for example, it has study rooms, computer rooms, group study rooms, private rooms, theater rooms, locker rooms and so on. I usually use study rooms because we can use computers, and we can talk with friends, and we can drink there. Also, My favorite function is theater rooms. We can watch a lot of movies : ) What is more, it is private rooms for 2 person or 3 person. Actually, I watched ‘mimiwosumaseba’ that made in Japan, and ‘syurec’ that made in America. Also, there are machines to drink water. KGU’s library is so comfortable for me to spend the time. I want you come here, and use a lot of functionally rooms :-)


KGU has a lot of green! First, you will see big gingko, and there are on both sides of the road at KGU’s front gate. It is so beautiful, and we can feel cool : ) Also, you will see a lot of pines, and it is so big near our school buildings !! They are gave the shade to us. In summer, They have a lot of matsubokkuri. What is more, there are also court, rather they exist everywhere in KGU. We are felt impress that is beautiful and clear by them.  We are able to enjoy school life while we are surround them : )


KGU give us a lot of to do my homework. It is gave us almost every day, for example, writing’s class’s blog up, speaking class or listening class’s group homework, reading class’s news quiz and report that is news paper in English, a lot of description of impressions that we watch a lot of kind of movie, and so on. We have respectively difference homework, so there are more quantity for parson that they also usually attend a other lecture. I think that we are so busy because if you neglect your homework, you may not be able to sleep sufficiently, but I exert to do my homework with my same subject’ friends every day in KGU’s library. I feel recently that I become to like English throughout to do those homework. You are may pain them, but the homework is useful for our future, so let’s exert ourselves : )
