"Hello everyone, I'm Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Please listen to my story today as well. I have a membership called Japanese Together, which is my community. We have meetups, as well as various other contents. You can also access PDF files of this podcast's script with furigana. Please consider becoming a member. Today, I'll talk about an Italian cafe in Liverpool.

Do you like Italian food, Italian coffee, or desserts?

I live in Liverpool, England. I'm not sure why, but there are a lot of Italian cafes in Liverpool. It seems like many Italians live here. There are many delicious Italian restaurants, pizzerias, and cafes owned by Italians.

There are two near my apartment. They are always popular. About a 15-minute walk away, there are also three popular Italian cafes. I like coffee and delicious breads and desserts, so I went to a nearby Italian cafe right away. I had lunch there by myself.

Do you know what 'Arancini' is? Arancini is a rice dish, similar to a croquette. It's a rice ball that's fried. I ate that arancini. It was very delicious. I want to eat it again. Of course, I ordered dessert too. A single espresso and a famous Italian dessert, Cannoli. 'Cannoli' means 'little tube' in Italian. It's a fried tube-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese cream. It's a sweet from Sicily, Italy.

The Cannoli I had was extra-large. It was really big, and I was full. It had pistachio sauce and pistachio cream in it. I'm thinking of trying other Italian cafes next time.

See you again."
