Day 12 - Japan Blog - 18 February 2024

Because we had to miss Hiroshima due to my terrible impulse spending … we took a train to Nara. Last time we visited Nara it was cold and rainy — today was lovely. 🥰 AND WE GOT TO SEE PLUM AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS! 🌸🦌✨ Covered a lot of ground — and also food wise today!

Started the day with eggs … in the form of ramen. Ippudo ramen but it was missing something… still good but I just wanted some shichimi or some spice 😭🌶️ Also, I ordered a "bottle" of asahi and it was HUGE!! Before we left, I came across a Tokyu Hands store and I havent been in one of these since they rebranded to just "hands". So, of course I had to go and suss their stationery and kitchen sections. (The best!!) I came out with about $50 of stuff from a soy sauce dispenser, a coffee spoon and about 8 packs of stickers. :) When we got to the station, we bought some Lindt Chocolate in some interesting flavours like Macha, Popcorn, Cheesecake and Sakura. Of course, to eat on the train.

When we arrived in Nara, I remembered why I said I wanted to come back. Its so serene and peaceful and just one of my favourite places. We walked up the street towards the park to see the deer and found a capsule/game arcade which we took a pokemon purikura and Ben hated it! Then he found a great Panini place and outside there were so many puppies, including one in a handbag. I die!! The panini was heaps good too!!

When we were in Nara Park with the deer, there were some early blossoms on the trees. They were super pink and so cute! It was a nice surprise considering the Cherry Blossoms dont usually come out until late March/April. So these were most likely plum blossoms.

Then we hoofed (Deer pun) to Osaka and straight to Dotonbori where I wanted to eat a little bit of everything. Starting with some Kushikatsu and some Japanese Omelette called Tonpei which I was scared for but was actually really good!!

We walked through the shrine in Dotonbori (which I have just googled and its called Hozenji if you wanna go check that area out, its cute!!) and there were cats running around, stealing the show.

After that, Ben wanted MEAT so we went to find a BBQ on the river but it was busy so they took us to their other restaurant and we had Kobe Beef and vegetables on the grill. It was good food, and so reasonably priced. 🔥🥩

The train we caught back to Kyoto was so pretty. It was all wooden and dark maroon. So classy!

When we got back to the hotel, it was time to pack so we finished all the beer and stuff we had in the fridge (which was mainly cheese!!) the cheese selections over here are the best 🤣 But I wasnt ready yet -- I went out to go and find another Pork/Soy/Wasabi Onigiri because that was one of the best things I ate this time!!

Tomorrow is our last day!! 😭

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Day 11 - Japan Blog - 17 February 2024

Today was the DAY! We got seats for lunch at Kichi-Kichi Omurice (which we tried to get last year but they had a different reservation system which booked out months in advance in less than an hour…!) now you have to be at the restaurant at 8am for the password and at 9am the website opens up for the 10 seats inside the restaurant.

We had a bit of time before lunch so we went to the Nintendo Store and had a nice walk around before it was time for our reservation. We shared a table with a bunch of American dudes from NYC (and surrounds); some of them had no idea what they were in for and one guy was filming with three cameras HAHA! Kichi Kichi is CRAZY! He is crazy in the most normal way. The food is yummy and the show is awesome! He even helped show me how to cook the Omurice properly. Arigato master! After lunch we used our Hop on Hop off ticket to get around Kyoto (it's actually a great way to do it, considering there aren't any trains in Gion area...!) and we went to the Golden Pavillion called Kinkaku-Ji. It was so pretty with the reflection in the water. Then we got back on the bus to go to the Gion district. I wanted to take Ben to the starbucks along the Sannenzaka path.

The sun was going down and it started to get cold... a lot of the shops were closed so we had to walk back to the hotel. We got a bit lost and walked the wrong way -- but when we got back to the hotel I decided to drink all the booze we had accumulated over the trip. But of course, dinner. Ben wanted the yakatori place thats next to our hotel but we have never been past and had an opportunity to go in -- or theyve been busy or closed. After waiting there for 25 mins and being told they werent serving any more people -- I settled on sushi. (Keeping in mind, neither of us usually eat fish— all this was only $36 including drinks and dessert) it was so fresh and amazing — I NEED MORE! (Ben hated it!)

This is one of the Evangelion Craft Beers I found...! This one is an Orange IPA. 🍊🍺

Vodka, Codeine and a Chicken Tikka Masala

It began with a bottle of vodka, a packet of codeine and the intense hunger that comes when the agony of withdrawal begins to subside. Five days sweating, hallucinating, muscles seizing up and then hunger. A hunger unlike any you’ve felt before. I rose from a sweat soaked bed and cooked in a haze of regret, shame and pain. There were poorly chopped onions scattered on the floor, spices decorating…
