The shop we are introducing today is a curry specialty shop.Store name: Senba Curry KitasenriLocation: 4-119 Furuedai, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture
The inside of the store is quite large, and there are many tables for 2 people and 4 people, but there are many customers, and even one person can easily enter.And there was an Indian curry shop next door for some reason.(It ’s a little scary ~)Product name: Today's service lunch curry(Beef chicken curry, cheese topping, choi spicy, large serving)Price: 1,120 yen
The feature of this curry is that the curry roux is black.It's a black curry with squid ink, and the spiciness itself seems to be normal, but I made it a little spicy, so it was perfectly spicy.It may be a little addictive taste.I also felt that the rice was firm.
I recently traveled to Aizu-Wakamatsu in Fukushima.
This city has a calm atmosphere and deep history that always reminds me why I love traveling in Japan.
In this post, I’ll introduce Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle (Tsuruga Castle)—the symbol of the city—and Aizu-Wakamatsu Station, the gateway for travelers.
■ The Beautiful Red-Tiled Tsuruga Castle (Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle)
Every time I come to Aizu-Wakamatsu, I’m struck by the impressive presence of the castle.
Its unique combination of white walls and red roof tiles is rare in Japan, and just looking up at the main keep makes me feel glad I visited.
Inside, exhibits explain the history of the Aizu domain and the Boshin War.
Reading through the materials, you can truly sense the tension and hardship of that era.
What moved me most were the displays that reflect the sincerity and integrity of the Aizu samurai—something that resonates deeply each time I visit.
The view from the top of the castle is also incredible, offering a full panorama of Aizu's townscape and the surrounding mountains.
Each season gives the castle a different charm—cherry blossoms in spring, snow in winter, and the autumn colors during this trip made it especially beautiful.
■ The Nostalgic and Welcoming Aizu-Wakamatsu Station
Aizu-Wakamatsu Station, the starting point for many travelers, also has its own charm.
The station building has a nostalgic design, and the quiet atmosphere around it perfectly reflects the spirit of Aizu.
Right after you pass through the ticket gate, you’ll find a large selection of local specialties such as red cow “Akabeko” souvenirs, Aizu lacquerware, and regional sake.
It’s a convenient place to pick up gifts before heading home.
An SL (steam locomotive) is sometimes stationed there as well, making it a popular spot for train enthusiasts.
Seeing the powerful black locomotive always makes me want to take pictures.
With frequent local buses and easy access to sightseeing spots, the station serves as a very convenient base for exploring the city.
■ Summary: Aizu is Best Enjoyed Slowly, One Step at a Time
Aizu-Wakamatsu is filled with history, scenery, and a warm sense of nostalgia.
Tsuruga Castle, in particular, changes with the seasons and is worth visiting again and again.
The station also carries a quiet charm that makes you feel excited for the journey ahead.
Aizu-Wakamatsu left a lasting impression on my Fukushima trip.
Whether you love history or simply want to enjoy a peaceful stroll through a beautiful town, this is a place you should definitely visit
