The worst thing that could happen with you while traveling, OK, probably not the worst thing, but it's also don't want to happen with you anyway, is your camera suddenly stopped working. My camera is mirror-less Sony A5000, it's still working good when we arrived in Osaka Castle Area, in Castle Main Gate, but right in front of Osaka Castle, it just stopped working, the lens can't get recognized, I tried to clean it and attach it to my friend's camera (we got the same model), it's nothing. So, bye camera. Hello S9+! I'm so glad, I changed my phone before travel. All the photo on my Japan Journey, taken by my S9+ After leaving Osaka Castle, we're decided to have a nice lunch in Honmiyake Steak Don, it's a small place in Umeda, in a restaurant area near subway station. Like any other Japanese Restaurant, when there is a queue, it might be a really nice restaurant. Our second great meal in Japan, the rice is too much for me, the steak is great, miso is nice, the sauce is sweet. I like it, but just average. Hahaha.. I'm a fan of cup noodles. And of the target that I want to buy in Japan, is Curry Cup Noodles. Cup Noodles Museum is located in the middle of good neighborhood, surrounded by private houses. The admission is free. They showcase all of their cup noodles inside the museum, from the beginning to the current one, limited one and production from another country, including my country, Indonesia (which I still think are the best one). At the end of our tour inside, that made me really excited is a chance to create our own Cup Noodles. First you, buy the empty cup in the vending machine (yes, Japan is obsessed with vending machine) for 300 yen. We can decorate the cup using provided stationaries there, then straight to choosing what type of soup and dried ingredients that we want for our custom cup noodles. I'm choosing mine having curry flavor, with crab stick, pork, their mascot Naruto and cheese. Don't know what would it taste, haven't opened and taste it yet. In the end, you can put your cup noodles inside bubble bag to carry around. When we were there, they close around 4 PM. When we were walking back to station, some people just arrived and found out it's already close. So, make sure to check the time. Before leaving Osaka, Japan's kitchen, we wanted to try their famous local dish. It's a dish called Kushi-Katsu. Kushi means skewer, while Katsu is Japanese Fried Food. It's like tempura or katsu on stick, that you dipped in special sauce. We tried Kushi-Katsu in a Kushi-katsu Daruma Restaurant, a chain restaurant that sell Kushi-Katsu. One of the waiter speak English, very helpful. They put the sauce in a big container, and ask us for not double dip for healthy reason. If we want more sauce, just use the cabbage leaf they provided to took the sauce and pour it in our skewer. We tried the mix one, from Mochi to the Meat one. It's a great dish, a must tried in Osaka. A great companion for drink, for sure. Last meal in Osaka, Ajinoya Okonomiyaki.
I'm a big fan of Okonomiyaki. Egg, Cabbage, with various topping and sweet sauce. What not to like! The real savory Japanese Pancake. Another queue time to get these okonomiyaki, but it's worth it. I even ended up buying small bottle of their sauce back home, to make fried noodle or nasi goreng. LOL.
