Travel: Japan 2014 Day 15 // Osaka // Den-Den Town, Namba, Shinsaibashi and around

Today was pretty uneventful, we explored the area around our rented studio apartment, which is not only close to Namba station, but also smack bang in front of Nipponbashi Den-Den Town.

This, folks, is pretty much equivalent to Tokyo's Akihabara. You could imagine our inner otaku soaring free and drooling all over the merchandises.

Had the Assortment Set (JPY 650), but changed the green pepper, lotus root, & eggplant to Quail Eggs, Sweet Potato, and Mochi (Rice Cake).
Yummy!

For early dinner, we had Salmon and Uni Donburi. I have new-found love for uni. This stall did not disappoint. Uni was sweet and creamy too.
