Gluck Coffee Spot

Gluck Coffee Spot, which was recommended by a friend who lives in Kumamoto, we went together.
You can find it in an alleyway after walking through the arcade. 
You can feel the coffee shop atmosphere even from outside. 
 
The first floor is where you order, make coffee, and has a space for enjoying it alone, and going up to the second floor, there are 5-6 tables. 

First, we ordered and paid, then sat at the table on the second floor. 
The overall atmosphere was calm and we talked quietly. 
We didn't know the types of coffee well, so we ordered 3 Americanos and 1 decaffeinated drink. 
They gave us three different kinds! 
And it was written on each one so we could know what kind of coffee it was. 
It was in Japanese, so I couldn't understand the details, but I was able to understand it roughly using Google Translate. It was nice to see the thoughtfulness! 
I don't know much about coffee, but the taste was clean and the roasting was just right, not too much or too little, so it was delicious. 
And the difference between the three types of beans was clear, so it was fun to taste each one. 

Three types of coffee

Dessert - All three were delicious! From left to right: chocolate, carrot, and cheese

The El Salvador bean that I chose

It closed at 7 PM that day, so we left at 7 PM. 
If you are planning to go, it's best to check the closing time. 

Evening coffee scene - Romance!

Tsuruya Department Store

The department store was closing time, so we were able to look around for about 15 minutes. 
There were many cosmetics and socks and handkerchiefs that you don't usually see in Korea. 
So I bought a few handkerchiefs as gifts. They were about 5,000 won each, but there were so many pretty ones that I had a hard time deciding. 
 
And since handkerchiefs are gifts, they wrap them like this, 
the back has a circular shape that is hollowed out so you can see what it looks like! 
I was really impressed. ㅋㅋㅋ It's easy to tell which one is which without any confusion..! Wow

Cute Snoopy handkerchiefs that I've been using at home

 
 
 
Sushi Zanmai

A famous sushi chain in Japan.
A kind-hearted old man statue greets you. 
For some reason, he looks like Lee Kyung-je, a Korean doctor who appears on the program "Altolan." 
It looks like he's going to push my ears down and I'm scared. Kowai. 

Kumamon carpet at the entrance. ㅋㅋㅋ So cute

Fortunately, there was a menu with pictures and Korean. 

Sushi Zanmai menu

The sushi I chose was..! 
No. 1, 5, 19, 25, 26, 30, 42, and 45! 
Egg, salmon, scallop, crab meat gunkan roll, extra large red shrimp, scallion and tuna, tuna red meat, grilled tuna belly

What's going on with the size of that extra large red shrimp.. It's really big ㅋㅋ 
Everything was so delicious, it's hard to say what was the best, 
but I recommend the extra large red shrimp because it's visually appealing, and No. 30, scallion and tuna gunkan, is also salty and has a soft taste I haven't tasted before! 
The rest is just so soft and melts in your mouth, it's so delicious,,, slurp slurp 
 
The store has tables where you can sit, 
and there are counter seats, so it looks like it would be good for eating alone. 

And I have a feeling that in Fukuoka, you would have to wait in line to eat here, but 
in Kumamoto, you don't have to wait in line and you can eat right away. Kumamoto is the best...! 
Thank you, my friend, for taking me to such a great place...! I'm so happy

 
Sticker Photos

Suddenly, we decided to take sticker photos in Japan ㅋㅋㅋ 
We used to go to sticker photo booths a lot 10-15 years ago, 
but in Japan, they still have these machines where you can take photos and decorate them. 
 
These days, we have "In-life Four Cuts" in Korea, but in Japan, people seem to like decorating things in an analog way like they used to. 
 
But why does everyone look like aliens in their photos? ㅋㅋㅋ
Shout out "Hai! Ei chai!"
