While exploring Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto region, my parents house, where I grew up, in Hyogo Prefecture was our base. They pampered us well in many ways! We had
been enjoying various delicious foods outside during this trip. I am sure
nothing could beat my mother's cooking.
 |
| My mother bought various bread from multiple local bakery for our breakfast. |
 |
Kuri-Gohan (Steamed rice with chestnut) - she knows my favorite!
Tofu Miso soup, green salad and steamed veggie according to my request. |
 |
| Tai-no-Nanbanzuke (Fried red snapper marinated in homemade Japanese vinegary seasoning) |
 |
To make J happy, Tonkatsu (Deep-fried Pork), Shimeji-no-Osumashi (Japanese clear savory soup with mushroom),
Seaweed salad, and baked Shishamo (caplins) |
|

| Dessert after dinner was, of course, Baumkuchen! This was J's treat. Thank you J!! |
One place I would like to take J to was a Japanese hamburger chain restaurant, MOS Burger. My parents drove us to the closest restaurant from home. It's a fast food franchise, but dedicates to using fresh and safe ingredients; their burger tastes so yummy!! They serves many kinds of burger including rice-burger which features rice buns, and dedicates to using fresh and safe ingredients. Each burger was small for J. He ordered two kinds of burgers, and I was happy he enjoyed both. By the way, MOS stands for Mountain, Ocean, Sun.

Family Lunch at MOS!
Mine was Mos Original burger; J picked Teriyaki and Special bacon burger;
My parents both enjoyed rice burger. In fact it was the first time for them to come to MOS. |
Finally it was time to go back to the US. It was a wonderful memorable trip.
Oishikatta!!
