Torimi and Yamato: Kashimin

Simon and I walked down along "Kawai no Tanisuji", with which name the street which runs in front of Izumi High School used to be called decades ago. We crossed Shiro-mi Bashi crossroads. If you turn left there, you will get to Kishiwada High School. We went through Sakai-machi crossroads, and turn into the left at Uoya-machi crossing. We soon took a right turn into a narrow back alley. A banner "KORI (ice)" indicated there should be a junk food shop.
We walked into "Torimi", an OKONOMIYAKI shop. The iron plate counter was thronged with middle-aged men with beers in their hands. A young couple were compactly waiting their turn to sit in front of the plate.
A drunken flock bumped out of the shop. We could finally occupy small chairs surrounding the counter. At the corner, a shopkeeper cooked KASHIMINs. She first baked crepe-like things, and then put shredded cabbage and chicken mincemeat on them. So, KASHIMIN is one kind of YOHOKU-YAKI, not OKONOMI-YAKI. Its name KASHIMIN comes from KASHIWA (chicken) and MINTI (mincemeat), but chicken meat is rather chopped than minced.
We wlked out of Torimi. "Shall we try another one?" "I'm afraid I'm full." We kept walking to the next KASHIMIN restaurant. The next shop, Yamato, is said to be the originator of KASHIMIN.
We walked down toward the sea side through one of the old neighbourhoods of Kishiwada. In the old town, we found an old sweets shop, old warehouses along with old houses. Finally, we came to see an old embarkment. There must have been a sea shore some time ago.
From the main street along wich we were walking, some alleys reache the embarkment. At the end of one alley, near a part of the old embarkment, we saw an old OKONOMI-YAKI shop. Its lantern writes "Okonomi-yaki." Its shop curtain reads "Okonomi-yaki." Nothing tells us its shop name.
"Hello. Is this shop's name Yamato?" "Yes." answered a young woman, baking something on the iron plate. "Is KASHIMIN available here?" "Of course." She turned to the door to the back room, calling, "We've got guests!"
An old man appeared through the door. The woman started cooking. I wondeed what did she call him for.
She baked two crepe-like sheets. She turned them over a couple of times till they became crisp. This crispness gave KASHIMIN here unique taste. They were topped with shreded cabage and chopped chicken. Here KASHIMIN is YOSHOKU-YAKI, too.

Hotel Nikko Restaurant: Mmmm, breakfast buffet

I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but I think it was the hotel restaurant in Hotel Nikko, Kansai airport. If you're staying overnight, make sure you get up early enough to sample all the goddies at the magnificent buffet. It offers the usual things you would find at any good hotel breakfast buffet -- Continental and full breakfast options. When we stayed there (in mid-1999) I think the hotel was newly built. So the hotel and its restaurant were both great at the time -- not sure what they're like now.

Favorite Dish: They have the yummiest little sausages in the world, so be sure to try them!

Our breakfast was included in our flight package (as was the stay at Hotel Nikko), so not sure how expensive it was. Probably about average for any similar hotel anywhere in the world.

This is a very yum restaurant. It is a small bar style and only seats eight, so you may hav to wait at lunch times.
Auggi is the owner - he can speak English and is really friendly.

Favorite Dish: All of it is good. Make sure you try the Lion beer though. It has chocolate in it!

This is Amy outside

The food is pretty good although some are huge and some are small. They have english menus.
Its on the intersection of Shinsaibashi suji (the long covered walkway) and Nagahoribashi (the street that Chanel, Louis Vitton, Gap and Tokyo Hands are on).

Favorite Dish: The fajitas and the buritos are really good.
