Are you hungry?

Hello again,

I hope everyone's having a fabulous weekend, celebrating our season's first glorious victory against Nevada :D

Soooo, over the summer I had a chance to travel Kansai region for about 10 days, visitng my dear friend, Nori chan. She lives in Osaka, so I got to check out the city's latest hot spots including Umeda and Shinsaibashi. I had a blast shopping, touring around the city, and going to a concert. She also took me to Kyoto, which now is my second favorite Japanese city, to visit historic palaces and shirines as well as various places in Kobe. Thanks to Nori chan and her family I even had a chance to put on Yukata (traditional Japanese garment) and get a firsthand experience of Matsuri (Japanese festival) and Hanabi(fireworks)!!! But one of the best aspects of this trip was tasting epically delicious Japanese cuisine. :D

Obviously I'm not at all fluent in Japanese so it is almost impossible for me to recall all the names of delicious food, but I took my camera everywhere with me and took numerous pictures, so I would like to share pieces of my delicious experiences in Japan with y'all.







With fresh ingredient sushi tasted better than any place on earth, and every entree I tried just melted in my mouth (maybe the restaurants Nori chan took me were exceptionally good?). In addition, I had a specially homecooked Tongatsu and Okonomiyaki and those were truly an amazing, too :D

Anyways... I hope all of us as a class could have an opportunity to enjoy exquisite Japanese cusine someday :D ありがとう for reading my post, and hope you all enjoy the rest of the night.

またね :)

That's great that you got to visit Japan, especially with a friend. Hopefully you'll get to go back once you know a bit more Japanese.

That's really cool that you got to visit Japan, especially with a friend. Hopefully you'll be able to return once you've learned a little more.

Oh my gosh, I am soooo jealous! You're Korean, right, Ha-san? (And you're so right. I always am confused to who she's calling on. Ha or Fang...haha... =P )

How's the food compared to Korean? I love food in general so I really can't wait to have authentic Japanese food. (I travel a lot to Taiwan so I get to eat amazing food there. But i really want to try authentic Korean and Japanese food, haha...)
