We took JR train from Kyoto to Osaka-shin, after dropped our bags and we immediately heading to the famous shopping street Shinsaibashi-Suji 心斎橋筋. Shinsaibashi-suji, a covered shopping street, a place that you don't want to miss as there is the most happening place in Osaka.
Uniqlo, a Japanese brand that normal to us..
We were amazed by the number of drug stores here, so many..
a special store selling all things related to ballet
We went down to the Daimaru departmental stores to check out their foods section..From here I know Japanese love sweet things very much..
Daifukumochi (大福餅), I realized that i have forgotten to try this out when i was there..

ReplyDeleteSonia, do you agree that you feel more welcoming when seeing some chinese words that you can understand on those names of the desserts? This place is so crowded like Tokyo!
