O-san, Ronjie and I biked to Yamada Denki last weekend to claim some shopping credit vouchers so we decided to have dinner after at the adjacent okonomiyaki restaurant, Dohton Bori. The name Dohton Bori is inspired by a famous retail strip in Osaka, along the Dotonbori river (or canal, based to Wikipedia). Okonomiyaki is really known in Osaka/Kansai.

It's a Japanese-style restaurant, where you eat from low tables on the floor. Lockers were provided for our footwear. |

(Sorry for the messed up alignment.)
actually, you usually won't find tatami mats at restaurants. this was no exception. and... your font sizes seem so small. not good for lolos and lolas who want to read your blog. :D
ReplyDeleteoh yeah! no tatami mats nga! (edited the text already, deleting the bit about tatami mats, thanks! :D)
