We Went on a Road Trip

My husband and I are in Osaka now. Today, we headed toward Osaka by my parents-in-law's car at 10 a.m. It took us 10 hours to arrive here because there was traffic on the highway.

We arrived here at 8:30 p.m. Then we checked in our hotel room. The room was very retro. It was like a country home in Japan back in the 70's. After checking in, we went to a sushi restaurant which we used to go to when we lived in Osaka.

Their sushi is always fresh, big and reasonable. My favorite was tuna nigiri sushi, which was two for 150yen. We ate a lot of sushi and paid only 2950yen. :)

After that we went to a supermarket, and I bought ginger tempura, which is one of unique Osaka foods. We also bought squid tempura, alcohol, juice and cabbageyaki.
