The main attraction in Osaka is this Osaka Castle..
We were staying at Shin-Osaka station hotel (just located beside the Shin-Osaka train station, convenient to move around, but very pricey (it was booked by our office counterpart )..But i enjoyed their delicious Japanese breakfast every morning..less oily and delicious! Especially the poached egg, just perfect and love the sauce ( couldn't figure out how they make the sauce, need to search for the recipe)
We took bus when we were in Kyoto, but in Osaka, take train is the most convenience choice..
We found out the buying one day pass during weekend is cheaper than weekday..
on the way to Osaka castle , saw this Osaka historical muzuem

I can't figure out how they moved these giant stones to here

ReplyDeleteHi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteThe poached egg you mentioned is actually onsen egg with dashi (konbu dashi+mirin+soy sauce, and other stuff to taste).
Btw, does "Anson and Sonia" sound familiar to you?
Thanks for showing us another beautiful route trip. It's amazing.

ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, by the look, the udon noodles must be delicious with freshly made udon. The castle is really unique.

ReplyDeleteWhoa....nice place for a holiday...
ReplyDeleteOsaka castle! My kids love visiting there every year (my grandparents, now only grandma live near the castle). Onsen tamago's sauce is easy: dashi (this is the key so use good dashi) + usukuchi soy sauce (light color soy sauce (not less salt one, we use light color one) + mirin + sake + salt. Very easy to make. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, those stones are huge... the Egyptians, the Incas come to my mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat do we know about these Osaka?
