🇧🇯Cotonou, Benin🇧🇯
This is a restaurant where you can eat local Beninese food. Here I had my first taste of "Yampillet," the sole food of Benin.
"Yampillet" is a dish made by steaming yams and is similar to rice for the Japanese.
The soup was very tasty, with a sweet and rich flavor based on peanuts.
It was a dish that I had never had before, but it tasted familiar and delicious!
This restaurant has been featured on Netflix as a representative of Benin cuisine and is said to be famous.
It was the first African and Benin food I've had in my life!
ここはベナンのローカル料理を食べられるお店。ここで初めてベナンのソールフードである"イニャンピレ"を食べた。
"イニャンピレ"はヤム芋を蒸して作った料理で、日本人にとってのお米のような存在。
スープはピーナッツをベースにした甘味とコクのある味でとても美味しい。
食べたことのない不思議な料理でしたが、親しみのある味で美味しかった！
こちらのお店はNetflixでベナン料理の代表として取り上げられたこともあり、有名とのこと。
人生で初のアフリカン料理、そしてベナン料理でした！！
