After Osaka Castle, we were quite hungry and after getting off the train, we ate at a small restaurant in the underground shopping mall. Most restaurants have plastic food displays of what they offer and it's pretty accurate in what you get.
Jacqueline wanted the egg and rice and I think she thought the egg would be cooked but when it arrived, it was a raw egg on the side, just like the display.
She looked at us when it arrived and I shrugged my shoulders and said she knew exactly what she was getting. She made the most of it and said it wasn't that bad.
Tony had the soba noodles and Brittany & I had the tempura with udon noodles. You can't beat a meal when it's filling and less than $5 a person.
We went wandering around town just to look around and I loved the mural at one of the stations. It was rather large so it was easier to film it rather than take multiple photos.
We wanted to catch a baseball game in Osaka but they weren't playing the week we were there so I went searching for the next best thing - merchandise. I am a huge Lilo & Stitch fan and know the Stitch is very popular in Japan. So popular that he's up there with Micky, Minnie and Donald Duck in terms of branding.We went to a department store that carried Hanshin Tiger merchandise. They had a whole section devoted to just their merchandise.
