Flew Air Premia for the first time with a friend. No idea why, but check-in took forever. Other than that, it was fine.
Kushikatsu and Oden Izakaya a Japanese friend took me to. The Camembert cheese was fire.
The age where I just love green... (referring to the bottles)
This is what real Oden looks like. The butter potato in the back was good too. Round 1 done.
The illuminations got even prettier in two months.
Round 2: All-you-can-drink Nomihodai, let's gooo lol. Shochu corner (they give you soda water if you want).
Only 1 glass per person for the sake with blue tags.
This section is the pay-per-drink side.
Meat looks insane.
Ate and drank until we were stuffed and tipsy. Cost about 80k won per person.
Dessert was Sudachi Naengmyeon. The noodles were so chewy and delicious.
Round 3: Sake let's go.
Friend got completely wasted so we ended it quickly.
Sent the local friend home, and during the 20-minute walk back to the hotel, my buddy sobered up so we drank more.
Yum yum. So full.
?
Whoa, they have Niboshi (dried sardine) ramen in the convenience store.
You said you were full, you madman lol. But the ramen was meh. It had a strong sardine scent, but just wasn't it... Day 1 over.
Failed the morning ramen 'open run' because I overslept like a dog from overeating and drinking. Rushed straight to the lunch reservation.
Akaboshi (Sapporo Lager) is so good.
Hmm... the toppings were okay, but the rice was way too mushy. But it was only 15k won for 13 pieces + chawanmushi + miso soup + sherbet, so I just shut up and ate.
Booking it to Kobe.
Brewery street.
Tasting.
Another spot.
Oh... interesting.
Hit one more tasting spot, but didn't buy anything special...
How is this the station name? (LOL)
Pyeongyang Naengmyeon place in Kobe.
Noodles look like the same ones from yesterday's Yakiniku place? Taste is okay, but totally different from the Pyeongyang Naengmyeon I know. I like the Korean style better.
Ox tongue—one salt, one tare. First time seeing spicy seasoned tongue, it was good. Heading back to Osaka to meet another Japanese friend.
Staff energy was god-tier (SS-tier).
Freaking delicious Mackerel Bousushi.
Round 2 go.
The dish on the top right was called 'Seafood Bomb,' but why is there natto in it...? Even my Japanese friend had no idea why... Tasted good though.
Trying 'JJ' (Jasmine Tea + Shochu), which is apparently trendy with the youngsters these days. Finished here and sent the Japanese friends off for their last train. They have work tomorrow, mad respect.
"A booze-heavy travel log featuring god-tier staff energy, questionable 'Seafood Bombs,' and enough drinking to make a travel buddy sober up just to drink again."
