What beautiful flowers!!! But, guess what? In Japan, these flowers are for offerings to the dead only. My friend from Europe bought these flowers as a birthday gift for our Japanese friend, she felt strange how come he bought these flowers! Culture shock! LOL! #japan #japanese #luvflowers #osaka #03232022

My niece bought this Taiwanese pancake for my mom and me. I know her since she was in my sis's stomach and it's so nice to know that she has grown up with a good heart which cares not only about herself but for others saying "I bought this so that let's eat it together!" I am so glad that my mom is very happy that my niece has grown up 😀 #04082022 #taiwan #taiwanese #tasty #love

Tempura of red gingerRed ginger tempura is a very popular dish in Osaka. In the Kanto region, such as Tokyo, it is not eaten at all. Simmered bamboo shoots Bamboo shoots are a seasonal food and are eaten only in early spring.

Okonomiyaki!!! There is a local okonomiyaki restaurant that I always go to eat with my mom when I come back to my parents' house in Osaka. This okonomiyaki restaurant is loved by the locals and has been carrying on the local flavor for two generations.For people in the Kansai region, okonomiyaki is local soul food, and is so commonly eaten at the dinner table that some households eat it several times a month. I have also eaten okonomiyaki at home since I was a child. Even…

I took a drive with my mom and ate takoyaki! Some time after returning to Japan, I went for a drive with my mom to the southern part of Osaka. I had been in Osaka for a long time, so it was a nice change of pace to get in the car and drive around for the first time in a while.There is a gardening specialty store called "Kokkaen" in the southern part of Osaka, and we decided to go there together for the first time in a while.It was around noon when we arrived at the…

🌸 #luvflowers 🌸 Seeing cherry blossoms in full bloom in Japan, I was reminded that Japanese people really love this flower called "sakura"🌸🌸🌸. Cherry trees are planted all over Japan, and even in my hometown of Osaka, there are many cherry blossom viewing spots🌸. NHK reported that in the Edo period (1603-1867), cherry trees were planted on the banks of a river, where cherry blossom viewing tourists used to go to view the cherry blossoms🌸, and the land was then leveled off…

When I thought again about what I wanted to do when I returned to Japan, I knew I definitely wanted to go out drinking at izakaya (Japanese style pubs). I used to join drinking parties with my colleagues and friends after work, and often walked around the pubs and bars.In Stockholm, I rarely eat out anymore. Eating out, which can be done casually in Osaka, is quite expensive in Stockholm, and eating out has become like an event for special occasions such as birthdays. In…
@mizuo
Culture can change dramatically depending on the environment in which you live.When I told my friend that I wanted to feel such Japanese "izakaya culture," he graciously went out for a drink with me. Talking with my friend at an izakaya for the first time in a long time, I felt as if I was back in my school days. Life is full of ups and downs, but I hope to continue to live a life in which I can say, "I have no regrets in my life," no matter what the circumstances of my life…

When I returned to Osaka after a long absence, I still had a lot to do and time passed quickly.I wanted to be sure to clean the house, so I first spent a few days getting rid of things I didn't need. Then, when I had a little more time after the out-of-season cleaning, I went to visit my father's grave with my mother and then went for a walk in the nearby mountains.I haven't been here in over a decade, Mt.

The first thing I do when I get back to Stockholm airport is to go to the restaurant I always go to and eat Swedish-style meatballs.When I am asked "What is Swedish food?" , then the first thing I answer is "Swedish-style meatballs". They are so common that you can even eat them at IKEA, but when I eat these meatballs with lingonberry jam at the airport, I always feel that I have come back to Stockholm.I think every country has its own unique way of eating and making…
