Food Adventures, Japan


Current City:  Osaka

Over the course of the past few weeks, my husband and I have been on a Y.O.L.O. mentality [Y.O.L.O. = You Only Live Once].  We want to try everything, do everything, and see everything at least once!  (I know this is a bit repetitive...but it's true!)  

This blog post is dedicated to our food adventures.

**NOTE:  The photos do these dishes no justice!**

Someone told me that Osaka was known for their Takoyaki and that Hiroshima was known for their Okonomiyaki.  I learned through our Gion tour that Kyoto was known for their dumplings...but is Kyoto STILL known for their dumplings?  And what type of food is Miyajimi known for...since it was also a stop along our journey through the Kansai region of Japan?
