When I went there, I saw workers doing repair work. There are also a few songs inside, and it feels similar to other places. The foundation under the castle tower seems to be made of piled up broken stones.

After two days of hot springs in Takeo, we went to Karatsu to taste the local delicacy squid banquet. The price is not too high, about 250rmb per person excluding alcohol and tax.
After all, the squid banquet is not Kaiseki, there is no requirement for the dishes, the season and origin of the ingredients, and squid is not a precious dish. This is where the squid banquet is affordable. There are 11 dishes in total, and the photos include most of them.
In this squid banquet specialty store, the knife skills and plating of the squid sashimi are OK, the color is transparent, and the head tentacles are still wriggling and changing color. We are also reminded that the sashimi needs to be eaten as soon as possible. Indeed, the squid sashimi gradually turned white in less than half an hour.
The unfinished squid sashimi and squid head tentacles will be made into tempura for you as a midnight snack. Alas, it&rsquo;s a pity that the tempura oil is not clean enough and the oil temperature is too high, which ruined the good impression of this squid banquet.
This squid banquet was unprecedented and I didn&rsquo;t finish it. I&rsquo;m so ashamed. .
If you don&#39;t have a big appetite, there&#39;s no need to eat the squid banquet, the squid meal will be enough.
