At the Godzilla Store, somewhere in Shinsaibashi.

Nostalgic Window Shopping @ Den-Den Town

Den-Den Town is becoming a tradition for me to visit every time I go to Osaka.

Dinner @ Gyukatsu Motomura

Posted on April 13, 2024April 10, 2024 Posted in PicsTagged Beef, Dinner, Food, IRL, Japan, Katsu, Yokohama

I’ve seen this chain at many places throughout Japan. They do delicious beef katsu, very much raw with a sear. There’s a hotplate to grill them to perfection and sauces to dip them in to enjoy with the salads and rice. Easy recommendation from me.

A Bout of Crane Game

Hung out with Lito at a GiGO and caught this cute and fluffy Pochita… after dumping 4,800 yen.

Last Train for Tonight

The last one for this platform at least. Barely made it back to the hotel.

Tempura and Soba @ Yotaro

Posted on April 10, 2024 Posted in PicsTagged Food, IRL, Japan, Lunch, Osaka, Soba, Tempura

A good meal after a busy day of errands. Ate at their Daimaru Umeda location, above Osaka Station, though turns out they do have a more robust fare for dinner in their main store.

Amerikamura Mural

It kinda does seem like Peace on Earth is falling slightly apart…

Dotonbori is Lit

The food is ‘rip-off’ expensive though. I’d still to a plate of takoyaki and maybe some okonomiyaki.

Ekisoba @ Himeji Station

Posted on April 7, 2024April 5, 2024 Posted in PicsTagged Food, Himeji, IRL, Japan, Soba, Station, Train

I think it’s safe to say that only in Japan, do people specifically put effort to go to a train station specifically to eat there, like Himeji Station’s Ekisoba.

Conan Manholes!

It’s all over town. This should be the last of the Conan fanship on the blog for now. I do want to come back to here again someday.
