Hiroshima okonomiyaki! Oishii sou!
Welcome to Japan, interesting you chose Hiroshima as your first destination. I would pick the Ito Castle because I love how the Japanese incorporate nature into their esthetics. Deana, I would not of thought of that dish as a pancake, more like overstuffed crepes,lol, looked tasty! Looks like you two are off to a good start, can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you👍💕⛩
Japan is a strange mix of future tech and 80s tech.
Don’t miss the opportunity to go to the Hiroshima museum. Very sobering and educational. It’s hard to see some things but worth the experience.
Ooooh! Okonomiyaki looks real good. Oh boy. The eggs must taste so with thoe dishes. 😋🤗
wow, the quantity of green onions 😮 drooling now.
Thank you for the great video. How wonderful that they allow visitors to try on the attire and feel the weight of the samurai sword.
Deana, you still read Chinese? Great!
Reposting..
If you are heading for Osaka don’t miss the Dontonburi area. It’s just eat city there. Go to a kushikatsu restaurant but order separately as you really should. It’s just fried stuff on a stick but the rules are laid out on the table. Dip only Once in the sauce as it’s communal. If you need more use the cabbage provided. It’s still really good.
Osaka has a tradition of eating yourself sick and taking a photo with the drumming animatronic clown. It’s because the government back in the Edo period banned merchants from wearing anything flashy, the signs they used, basically everything but food and entertainment so Osaka is a merchant town and the people just ate and had fun all the time.
Dotonburi is also around the canal system which is actually pretty nasty but if the Hanshin tigers do well people are tempted to jump in to celebrate which is why the barriers are up. Osaka is seen a lot like Chicago with its more boisterous atmosphere and more straightforward nature. Tokyo is seen as reserved but somewhat traditional yet looking towards the future. Kyoto is seen as the city of traditions. Hokkaido is seen as the frontier while Okinawa is the tropical paradise.
Wait you can just place a coffee filter inside your mug, what is this magic and where can I get these fancy filters with wings haha
I'll be so disappointed if they don't eat Takoyaki
Are you going to Kamakura to see giant buddha?
Japan is an amazing place. You both are so wide-eyed and excited. That's nice to see. The food is fabulous. The people, although they can seem a bit standoffish in public, can be 'in your face' in private. I remember my first trip to Japan left me an indelible memory: I never opened a door for myself. People do for others and receive service from others. It's a fascinating dynamic. My first stop was Tokyo and then I was in a homestay in Hiroshima. Summer of 1977. I have a love for Japan. Although, South Korea – which I first lived in that same year – has grown on me. I think it fits me better as a Western adult. The South Koreans give themselves certain freedoms and have no fear interacting with foreigners – they suck in every new trend, food, fashion, technology, and then they produce something even better. A lot like Japan used to be.
The castle reminds me of the PC game, Age of Empires.. I liked the European castles better, but the Japanese castles were well done in the game. They looked just like that. Thanks for the video!
Japan was partners with Germany in WW2. So, not surprising you see parallels in terms of war memorials and new construction. Another reality I walked away with in 1977 was, the Japanese had a strong feeling they had earned what they received in WW2. That truly overwhelmed me.
