We went to Dotonbori - i think it is a huge shopping district. Their Don Quixote there is like 5 floors. Then we ate at Ichiran, which is said to be the best ramen in the world. I am not really a good judge since i'm not a huge fan. But it is delicious though, since you get to choose how firm you want the noodles to be, if you want onions, spice, etc. Then we went to our airbnb experience - the making takoyaki. It was quite fun and easy once you get the hang of it -and the host was really nice. The takoyaki was good too. Then we went to eat with my friend's Japanese coworkers. We ate sashimi and raw meat which did not really taste great. I just do not enjoy raw food. good thing there were other yummy stuff. And that's it- basically we stuffed our stomach with Japanese food that day.

@KOLAMsegaran1 the takoyaki is always good in Japan. it has tons of other stuff mixed though, like flour, ginger, fish flakes

Just like you I don't like the taste of sashimi and raw meat. My daughter loves eating it though. I just don't like the taste of anything raw.
