Our Adventures in Japan

tried a new (to us) restaurant, RegarioTheir menu is mostly Spanish and Italian cuisinewe ordered the Galician octopus...950 yen (plus tax)The octopus was so tender!

Host Mom messaged me the other day whether we would like beef or grapesI told her whatever she chose we would be grateful to receiveThen she messaged and asked thinly sliced or bite sized yakiniku meatI told her thinly slicedSo that is what she sent to us8

Komeda Coffee opened in our train station while I was in HawaiiWe tried to eat here at lunchtime but the line was kinda krazySo on a Sunday, we went when they opened at 7:00 It took some time for us to figure out how to order on the tablet But at least it…

We got together with friend Hiromi and her family.The last time we saw them was last year in Kyoto.This time, her son has moved to a new job in Yokohama.We had dinner at Seiryumon.We've eaten at the Universal Studios Osaka shop (pre-blog) many many moons…

Changed our curtains since it has been so blazingThese curtains were from when we were living in Osaka because Satoshi had complained that even with the curtains we had back then, it was too bright.Well, we got these the other day and boy does it shut out…

We recently ordered from Domino PizzaThey had a curry pizza that I wanted to tryAlso if you ordered a large you could get it at the medium price The Summer Curry Quatro :Summer Veggie Curry, Butter Chicken Curry, Mayo Potato and their KalbiI was surprised…

Last week, Typhoon 15 (Chan Hom) passed Tokyo, we had rain but not much more, other areas were not too luckyThen Chiba had massive rain (I can’t remember if it was from Typhoon 15?!)
