Even in Japan I prefer to get Konamon in Kansai area to Kanto area.
How is in NY? I haven't tried yet....

My mom got new Takoyaki pan so we made Takoyaki at home this time.
I heard that Osakan people usually has this pan at home but we didn't have one before. Maybe because we live next to Osaka... lol

And also I went to Fugetsu to get some Okonomiyaki.

Gyu-suji Okonomiyaki

Kimuchi pork Okonomiyaki

Next generation...

Since I'm in Japan now I could see my friends from school days.
They already became someone's wife or mom. And their babies are so cute always!!
It's funny to think they are already moms because we were teenager when we were together.
Nobody changed since then but we all had different experiences after we graduated high school and we are living own lives. It's so fun to talk about what we do and what we think.
And the best thing about these friends from high school is whenever we see each other we can go back when we were together in the school even we didn't see each other for long time. And it will be the same until we become 60s, 70s I think... lol
