Namba
After the zoo and a change of pants, late lunch was mini pizzas and a matcha dessert at Kamakura Pasta in Namba City. BB Bagel ate his share, then spent the rest of lunch begging us for ours.
Then back to Megane Ichiba, the glasses shop where we bought specs on our first day of the Shikoku trip. We liked them so much we bought more. And a walk round Namba, where Bagel found the claw machines at GiGO and played with zero coins.
A photo with Ebisu, the lucky god. In Chinese terms, Cai Shen Ye. Huat ah! Then another one with a giant bubble tea cup, just because.
Grill Capital Toyotei
Dinner was Grill Capital Toyotei, the Kyoto-born grill famous for its hamburg steak wrapped in foil. You tear open the foil and it’s swimming in sauce. We also got a beef cutlet, rare inside. Both damn good.
Back at the hotel, Bagel modelled his new zoo hat and celebrated with his Mario mushroom.
