What we did upon arriving at Osaka:
Checked into Marriott Courtyard
Checked out Orange Street
Shopping at Dotonbori
and finally dinner. :) So much for an afternoon!
We were totally drained and needing some comfort food. :) Yes, yes to udon at Tsurutontan Soemoncho. :)
Reviews had it that Tsurutontan Soemoncho is always packed during meal times and the queue extends out of the store! We thought we could avoid the queue by having late dinner...but everyone's thinking the same. :) Oh well, at least we are waiting indoor. :) Pat pat on our shoulders. :D
The variety of udon offerings at Tsurutontan Soemoncho is amazing. It's hard to decide and our grumbling tummies aren't helping. :O
Mom opted for tempura udon while Beanie settled for curry tonkatsu udon. The man loves Japanese curry. :) We ooh and ah at the serving size! :D
Carnabora udon for us. :)
And something light...sliced beef udon. :)
This left me some space for soy soft serve. :)

On a side note, we visited this tiny but pretty flower shop at Orange Street this afternoon. :) Inspiration for our new store which is just as tiny or maybe even tinier! :D
I like the barn feel to this store. :) Pinning it on my inspiration board. ;)
