Beer and wagyu meat, what a perfect combo. Nom nom nom...
What better way to top off a carnivorous dinner than with the home-made pudding, which supposedly sells out nightly?
Ice cream on top, puddin' in da middle, hint of caramel at the bottom. Perfection.
To burn off the calories, we hit up a local fav among expats here - ID Bar. I didn't remember it being so crowded 5 years ago when I made my last appearance. But alas, I took this opportunity to shake what my mama gave me.
These people are crazy into the songs!
The next morning, the hubs and I dragged our sluggish tooshies out of bed and onto a train en route for Utsumi Beach, one of Nagoya's famous white sand beaches at the southern part of the prefecture.
The sand was fine as promised, but the water could be described better as "earthy-green"
The hubs was uber excited to be there!
Takoyaki and yakisoba were both must-have dishes I had to devour on da beach!
Is this not the cutest kid bathing suit? Tehehehe...
On the way home, we picked up some of Utsumi's *famous* local treats (and by famous, I mean, I saw it on a flyer while I was sunbathing), fruit daifuku. These are fresh fruit encased by yummy soft mochi. We bought one of each that they had - grape, melon, peach, and the original strawberry. We couldn't wait to eat them til we got home, so we snuck a bite on the train ride home:
This morning I woke up to cloudy skies, which meant potential for a *long* run (my definition of a long run has changed recently). As I prepared myself w/ my trusty water bottle full of ice cold water and my fannypack containing my phone, candy, and cash, I laced up my shoes and headed out the door. It was a sweaty, grueling, "slowly-but-surely" 8 miles but I made it - my longest run yet in this country!
And to reward myself, I devoured all this:
burgers, chicken, corn, oh my!
Grillin' in Japan? Oh yeah!
And now, I need to do a lil research on what to do in...GUAM! See u in a week!
