[lunar harness]

[serene tusk]

[forest ore]

Hey guys! 36F, came to Japan to get away from a bad breakup and heal.

[forest ore]

Me!

[trim marlin]

Hey there! Will be in Osaka from tomorrow, anybody interested in taking some drinks or bar or something?

[dapper root]

I’m in Osaka for a few days. Can grab dinner together today.

[karmic galleon]

just arrived in osaka today im up for some dinner/drinks tonight or tomorrow !

[celest spire]

My evening should be free tomorrow night if anyone wants to do something (hopefully not something too crazy as I want to go to Nara relatively early the next morning 😅)

I'm based near Tsūtenkaku Tower

@trim marlin we still need to do these 68% shots....

[trim marlin]

😂😂😂 where are u atm?

I was going to dotonbori… but after a few stops I realized I took the wrong train 😂

Now I’m in kyobashi

[celest spire]

I'm just chilling at my hotel right now trying to figure out how to operate a Japanese washing machine lol

[trim marlin]

It’s easy, u just put ur d inside it

And it works

[dapper root]

@celest spire just send a photo to chat gpt and ask it to explain it. I used the same method to operate a Korean machine yesterday.

[celest spire]

That's exactly what I ended up doing

Trying to get it to "dry" clothes is a bit more of a struggle

Will likely have to just hang dry stuff everywhere

[trim marlin]

Isn’t there a dryer?

[celest spire]

This is all I got

[dapper root]

Btw I went to gyukatsu motomura today for lunch. It was fantastic! Around 20 minute wait time. Would recommend to folks here if they haven’t tried it.

[trim marlin]

I can’t help u 😂

[trim marlin]

What’s the food?

[dapper root]

It’s like beef cutlets. Very tender. You just heat it for like a minute on the flame they provide.

[celest spire]

Isn't that like the brazed meat that's raw on the inside?

[celest spire]

Interesting - is it relatively affordable?

[dapper root]

It was around 2200 yen for this as far as I recall.

[celest spire]

Not bad at all

Someone gave me a dinner rec the other night and then a few minutes later said "oh BTW you'll need 60-80k yen"

[trim marlin]

So beautifyl

[celest spire]

Reservation required?

[dapper root]

No. I went without reservation. Had to wait like 20 minutes

Did you guys try the Rikuro cheesecake?

[celest spire]

I have not, is it good as well?

I've only been in Osaka for like 7 hours so far

[dapper root]

I’ve been Osaka for 5 hours 😅

[celest spire]

Better planner than me lol

[dapper root]

The Rikuro cheesecake is viral on instagram but not sure if it’s just a tourist trap…

[celest spire]

I lowkey planned my time in Osaka on the train from Kyoto to Osaka earlier today

[trim marlin]

I just did the Pokemon stores 😂

[celest spire]

So I just have major attractions on my list, no food places yet

[dapper root]

Man… the Pokémon stores were crowded. Plus I didn’t have the Pokémon cafe reservations.

[trim marlin]

Me neither, but bought the peluches 😂

[celest spire]

Popi is on a mission for those Pikachus

[trim marlin]

Gotta catch ‘em all!!

Did u have dinner guys?

I wanted to go to an izekaya

[dapper root]

I had dinner already. But can meet up for a drink or two if folks are up.

[celest spire]

I also already ate but could be convinced to go back out for some drinks

[trim marlin]

Let me just throw 500 yen and i search for something

Dotonbori?

[celest spire]

Where exactly?

[trim marlin]

Just choose the area before 😂

[celest spire]

@dapper root did his research, maybe he knows what's good

[trim marlin]

Not the hub pls

[celest spire]

YAKITORI Torikizoku Dotonbori Store
050-3623-4509

https://g.co/kgs/XkQANhQ

There's a Torikizoku lol

[trim marlin]

What did u say about my mom?

😂😂

I’m gonna say let’s see each other in dotonbori and see from there

[celest spire]

Give me like 25 minutes, need to hang up these clothes and grab a charger cause my phones on life support

[trim marlin]

Btw I’m gonna pop my head, everywhere in Japan on the escalators they queue on the left side, here in Osaka on the right 🧐

Dw, I need like 30 minutes from kyobashi 😂

@dapper root are u on?

[celest spire]

Same with @karmic galleon

[karmic galleon]

Ive decided im getting up early tomorrow so I’ll pass tonight 🥹 but im up for something tomorrow !

[celest spire]

[dapper root]

[karmic galleon]

I just need to charge my batteries literally and physically then im up for izakaya tonight

[dusk relic]

I haven’t had anything yo eat so Izakaya sounds great

[celest spire]

Are they normally super smokey? Not trying to reak of cigarettes again

[dusk relic]

Most of then is non smoking what time were y’all thinking of going?

[celest spire]

I'm going to head over to Osaka Castle here shortly to see it illuminated at night so I'll probably be at least 2 hours

[karmic galleon]

around 8 then is that good?

[celest spire]

Yea I should be able to make that work

[dusk relic]

We can go to a chicken skewer Izakaya called Torikizoku it’s cheap and very delicious

[celest spire]

I'm familiar with Torikizoku

Want to grab a reservation?

[dusk relic]

How many people

[celest spire]

I think max reservation size there is 6? Could always say 6 and whoever shows up shows up

[dapper root]

@celest spire I just left Osaka castle. Looks magical with the illumination.

[celest spire]

Good to know. I heard it looks nice with the lights. Was planning on being there earlier today but my day got delayed a bit 🙃

[dusk relic]

We can reserve up 99 people on the websites so we can maybe do 8?

[celest spire]

Whatever you think - I went to one in Shinjuku and the people there said max size was 6 so we did 3 tables of 6 each

[dapper root]

I’m walking over to Shinsekai market from there.

[celest spire]

I'm based 5 minutes from there

[dusk relic]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/jRUZWKgFqZsSK1qGA?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I reserved a table for 6 at this location

[celest spire]

Count me in
