会津若松駅構内にある会津山塩食堂の、喜多方系の塩ラーメンです。
塩ラーメンも美味しいですよね😋
会津山塩というのが地域の特産品らしく、塩味にはこだわりがあるようです。

正直、会津若松はガチ移動すぎて、ちゃんと現地らしいものを食べたのはこれくらいですね😅

This is a Kitakata-style salt ramen from Aizu Yamashio Shokudo, located inside Aizu-Wakamatsu Station. Salt ramen is delicious, isn't it? 😋 "Aizu Yamashio" (Aizu Mountain Salt) appears to be a local specialty, and they seem to take great pride in the salt flavor. To be honest, my time in Aizu-Wakamatsu was mostly spent just traveling from place to place, so this was about the only time I actually ate something truly local. 😅 #BlueSkyFoodClub

inafune when i find you
Tsuda: I'm certain the project's code name was "ZXC". Aizu: But that's it, isn't it? Mr. Kou... Young Yabe... Mr. Yabe wrote the setting materials. Tsuda: Yes, yes. Aizu: Yes indeed. Tsuda: Well, he was preparing things to make it right away. Aizu: Sure. He came up with a lot of places for the game's world. No; I guess we shouldn't be talking about ZXC. Tsuda: It's obviously a bad idea! But, uh, well... Aizu: I'll cut it up in the archive later. [i.e cutting the ZXC comments from archived version of the stream. He didn't.] Tsuda: If the fans wanna complain, talk to Capcom!... kidding! Aizu: Those involved in the decision [cancelling ZX3/ZXC] have left Capcom by now anyway! Mr. Inafune isn't there anymore to begin with!

Aizu (Bleach AU version of my fe3h oc, Aislyn) is holding her zanpakuto in front of her as the white ribbon on her wrist flows in the wind. Text on the top says “Azalea4u • fan cover |BLEACH” and the sub title text says “Come Wind, Come Weather”

A woodblock print titled "Children of Aizu" by Japanese artist Kiyoshi Saito (1907–1997).
Created by the celebrated Sōsaku-hanga (creative print) artist Kiyoshi Saitō (1907–1997), this iconic woodblock print titled "Children of Aizu" (Aizu no Ko) captures a tender, nostalgic slice of rural Japanese life. Set against a warm, muted earth-toned background, the composition depicts a young girl carrying a sleeping infant on her back (ombu). She is dressed in traditional, heavy winter folk clothing featuring a yellow-and-black plaid outer coat (hanten) over a patterned red robe, tied securely with a soft sash. Saitō's signature modern aesthetic is showcased through simplified, bold geometric forms, flat planes of color, and expressively stylized facial features—most notably the girl's rosy cheeks, bobbed hair, and rosy-tinged eye area against the pale skin tone. The lower right corner bears Saitō’s red artist seal alongside his hand-penciled signature (Kiyoshi Saito). Drawing deeply from the artist’s roots in the snow country of the Aizu region in Fukushima Prefecture, this print beautifully blends modern Western abstraction with timeless Japanese folk sentiment.

Kiyoshi Saito, who was recognized overseas early after the war by expressing Japanese feelings with a simplified form similar to Western painters while incorporating the traditional techniques of ukiyo-e prints, is a masterpiece of his later years, “Aizu no Fuyu”.
Kiyoshi Saito’s iconic series Winter in Aizu (Aizu no Fuyu) stands as a defining monument of the post-war Sōsaku-hanga (creative print) movement. Drawing upon childhood memories of his native Fukushima Prefecture, Saito transforms a snowy rural hamlet into a masterclass of modernist graphic abstraction. By carving and self-printing his own woodblocks rather than relying on traditional workshop artisans, Saito achieved an intimate, tactile synthesis of Western modernist form—echoing the flat planes and bold contours of Paul Gauguin and Edvard Munch—with the quiet, spatial sensibilities of traditional Japanese art. The composition is dominated by the monumental, pillow-like weight of deep snow blanketed over thatched farmhouses. Saito renders these massive drifts with smooth, sculptural curves that contrast sharply against the dark, rectilinear timbers of the rustic dwellings below. Through precise pressure control during hand-printing, the organic texture of the wood grain (moku-me) remains delicately visible within the dark structural beams and background foliage, imbuing the frozen landscape with warmth and material richness. At the left, a solitary figure trudges along a serpentine path carved through the deep powder, heading toward the interior of the quiet village. A rare touch of subtle color—laundry hanging beneath an eave—breaks the near-monochrome palette, subtly balancing the red artist seal (hankō) and pencil signature in the lower right corner. Evoking a profound sense of solitude, seasonal endurance, and nostalgic longing, the print encapsulates Saito’s unique ability to translate the quiet spirit of rural Japan into a universally resonant visual language.
