Nagoya

Woahh!! I can't believe it's been such a long time since I last updated this blog. I guess there hasn't been much of a motivation to keep this blog going. But maybe I'll try to get back to it soon.

On Saturday me and Ryo went to Nagoya to watch the baseball game between Yakult (Tokyo) and Dragons (Nagoya). It was the first time for me seeing a baseball game IRL, and it was surprisingly enjoyable.

We arrived in Nagoya in the morning, so we decided to have breakfast at our favourite cafe for "ogura toast" (toast with red bean paste, and butter). The toast at the cafe that we like contains black sesame seeds as well, which makes it even yummier than normal ogura toast.

After having breakfast we went to the cinemas to watch Spotlight. It wasn't our first choice, but as we were late we went with Spotlight. It was definitely an interesting movie. Based on a true story. After the movies we went to watch the game. As we were too tired and hungry we decided to leave 30 minutes earlier.

For dinner we had chicken wings (famous in Nagoya. I recommend it strongly. Superyummy!!). I was going to take more pictures, but forgot about it. Before going to the hotel we bought some more chicken to go, and munched on it later in the hotel in Mie prefecture (will make another post about our small trip to there later).

Kawagoe 11.02.14

Hey guys!

How are you!? Yesterday I went to Kawagoe together with Ryo, and his mother. It was quite nice to hang out with them. But Kawagoe was, to be honest, a bit disappointing. From pictures, and internet it seemed much more interesting than it really was. For those of you who don't know, Kawagoe is locally known as "Little Edo". If you don't know Edo, it is the former name of Tokyo ->Edo<-

We basically just walked around in Kawagoe for about 4 hours. Ate some "Takoyaki sandwich", and grilled dango. Yummy!! We (and by we, I mean Ryo's mum lol) also bought some dorayaki and baumkuhen that we took with us to home. We ate the sakura flavoured dorayaki yesterday. And both the sweet potato baumkuchen, and the vanilla baumkuchen. The sakura dorayaki was so, so delicious. And in the middle it had some mochi as well. My favourite baumkuchen was the sweet potato baumkuchen. I really love sweet potato.

As a matter of fact, Kawagoe is a sweet potato city. So you will be able to find all kinds of sweet potato snacks, and food there. I'd highly recommend anyone who loves sweet potato to go there. And in Kawagoe, they also have a "candy street". Although I am a sweets lover, I didn't buy any candy, or snacks there.

Well, I don't have anything else to tell really. I'm soon gonna clean up a bit here. And then purchase the rest that's missing for the valentines chocolate that I'm gonna make for Ryo.

Maybe I'll update again later. Feel free to leave a comment or so.
