Into town on the monorail...
First of all...this happened quite unasked for but soooo appreciated :)
We met up with one of George's longstanding students, Akiko, who takes us for wonderful meals when we're in Japan. Today's was no exception - a crab restaurant in central Osaka. In on the monorail for part of the journey - but then, I wish I could describe the lovely little noodle cafes and 'French' bakeries lining the underground platforms, they exist in the dark like living in mole tunnels and luscious smells emerge and mingle...but we were headed for the posh stuff! There were seven courses, ending with two teeny squares of the most exquisite cheesecake I have ever tasted. A wonderful lunch.
