大阪料理 - Osaka Cuisine

After enjoying the view from the Floating Garden Observatory, Shige led us to a swanky okonomiyaki restaurant somewhere on the 17th floor of one of the many buildings in Umeda.



That's what it looked like before it was cooked. We didn't waste much time taking pictures after it was done cooking.

After the excellent repast, our man Shige took us to one of his favorite haunts, Org. He said he likes it for the ambience and because it's food is so "...organic" It was here that Shige and Laurie both agreed that, despite being full, one always has a second-stomach for dessert. I’ve since learned that there is a Japanese term for such a thing. It's called 別腹, (betsu-bara, literally "separate-stomach"). And good thing we all have them, too! Because the dessert was excellent!



Many thanks for showing us around, Shige!
