下から、離れた位置からも目立つ真っ赤な観覧車(ﾉ∀`)

Well, we got on !!

さて、乗りますよ(`･ω･´) しかし見事な赤だなぁ・・・

It took 15 minutes to round.We couldn see entire fine view of Osaka.

Some building are under the construction.

工事中が多い(ﾉ∀`)

夜のほうが絶対きれいだな(ﾉ∀`)

I want to go there again at night. The night view must be wonderful.

After that we walked around Umeda station.

いか焼き食べて・・・

Mix juice in front of the ticket barrier.
Hanshin Umeda station juice stand

駅の改札前でミックスジュースを飲んだり。

This shop was so hard to find for us. It can be seen from ticket barrier, but we came from the opposite side and shop is entirely hidden by the wall. So small stand.

It cost us only 140 yen, but I was amazed. I felt mix juice is tasty for the first time. I wanted to have a second helping 😛

ミックスジュースを初めて美味しいと思った･･･ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

Then, we went back to Namba for preparing French dinner.
….. oh ?

夜のフレンチに備えて、難波へ戻りました。。。？

Futami no Butaman…. We also ate butaman … !

二見の豚まんも食べたの(ﾉ∀`)

(180 yen each)
I was anxious that we ate too much before dinner…

At Osaka, there are two major butaman shops. 551 Horai and Futami.
We already had eaten 551 Horai before, so, we tried Futami’s butaman that time.
But I don’t like the strong sweetness of onions. As a whole I didn’t like the cooked onions’ sweetness.But Futami’s is more popular than 551 Horai’s around me.
