Today's check out from Kyoto day. We were spending the last 2 days in Osaka and flying out from there. I wanted to hang out with C again, and... eat at Endo Sushi again ^
Took a few pics of the second flr of the apt. We really loved staying in this apt, super cozy and as you can see, very clean.
OK TBH the hanging deco was abit scary when we first saw it LOL
My favourite-est sushi from Kyoto
Bye apartment, it was great while it lasted.
Demolished these 2 ice creams on the way out. This matcha choc ice cream ranks very highly in my ice cream popularity ranking list. Also it reminds me of the first time I ate ice cream in the snow at Hokkaido ^
I know i kind of ate quite alot already, but we were actually on the way to lunch at Kyoto Wakuden at JR Kyoto Isetan. It's a kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto and offers pretty affordable lunch kaiseki, so we decided to check it out.
We opted for the Suoh Menu at 6000y, excited.
YK went to the toilet
Quite many people dining as well. We weren't seated at the window view seats, but no matter!

As expected, the staff were professional and friendly, and we enjoyed ourselves with the dishes. The food was fresh, of good quality and we enjoyed ourselves, but somehow nothing stood out alot, so the taste or the experience wasnt that memorable.
On the way out and towards the train station, passed by Ten-Ichi, a tempura restaurant that RJ and I really liked when we were here in 2016.
Took a pic of Kyoto Station while making our way to the train platform. I thought that the building looked quite grand ^^
Also snapped a picture of Kyoto Tower
And before you know it, we're in Osaka!!
Rented an Airbnb apartment walking distance from Dotonbori. But actually I found it abit too far from there. I have memories of tiring walks with achy feet back to the apt. That aside, the apartment was very clean, and neat ^^.
Dinner at Ikinari Steak!! According to many reviews, its an affordable and yummy place for meat.
If you notice, it's a standing steak place. No seats, you stand and eat!!
Check out this thick cut of steak sitting on sliced onions. The brown stuff on top were fried garlic slices (omg hearts)
WOAW!
Ikinari Steak... goooood
After dinner, we made our way to starbucks at Namba City to get the Starbucks pudding. The packaging was so cuteee and the pudding tasted really good. I especially liked the chocolate one haha. We bought quite alot of pudding to bring home.
Daiso-ing
Check out these, they're burgers!! Amazed abit. We got one to try.
and onward to....
Dotonbori!
Nom Nom Nom
Cutest claw machine octopus soft toy ever!
And this, this is like a grilled meat place despite the name. Reviews online praised it, so maybe worth a try next time?
I remembered being super happy to reach the apartment LOL
Was very happy with the buys from Daiso heehee. The next day's gonna be the second last day in Osaka, and one that I was looking forward to. We were going to meet ahmah who has been working in Osaka and I was looking forward to meeting her again ^^
Day 13 - Endo Sushi / Dotonbori / Nomihoudai!
