Kyushu is the southernmost island of Japan’s main islands.  We explore Kyushu’s coastal regions and the multi-cultural city of Fukuoka.  Kyushu, a laid-back vacation getaway, is known for its natural beauty and exceptional cuisine.  Kyushu’s cuisine is a medley of refined multi-course meals, regional delicacies and famous street foods.  An abundance of diverse fish and seafood clearly shapes the island’s gastronomy.  Fresh Squid Sashimi is a classic Japanese delicacy.  The fresh and translucent raw squid (Ika) is served on a bed of ice.  This epicurean delicacy is an acquired taste, fresh, unique, crunchy and flavorful.
