Odoriba Soul, omurice, ice dog, and fish sponges

can you guess what i did, heard, ate and shopped at today? if you guess Shinsaibashi and America Mura and Tokyu Hands, you are correct. and if you know why two of these things are connected to Kobukuro, you know why we went where we went. here are some images from this rainy sunday.

Odoriba Soul live at the Apple Store on Midosuji in Shinsaibashi. i really loved their sound. maybe i will put some of their video on my blog or on youtube when i have more time.

Kobuchi-kun probably sat against the wall between the two windows eating his omurice. the restuarant is called Hokkyokusei. on a sidenote, Noriko`s Mother ate here about 50 years ago. it has been opened since 1925.

my mushroom omurice. very delicious

Kobukuro came to this Ice Dog cafe in America Mura

the last bite of my ice dog. there is a photo of Kobuchi-kun and the owner of the cafe on the wall.

yes, that is a crystal Mercedes Benz

a very very crowded Shinsaibashi-suji

finally we found the fish sponges that Noriko`s Mother at Tokyu Hands. they had a rainbow of colors to choose from. Tokyu Hands is a very fun place to look around and shop but unfortunately we had to return home so Noriko could prepare dinner...o-nabe!
O-NABE!!!
