Japan Holiday / Okonomi-yaki For Dinner

昨日は、福岡から神戸で借りているマンションに6時前に到着し、一休みして、ブログをしたりしてから近くのお好み焼き屋さんに夕食に出かけました。神戸に着いて最初の頃に1度行って美味しかったですし、お店の方も優しい良い感じの方で、夫は野球観戦をしながら食事をするのが楽しかったらしく、また行きたいと言っていました。今日は前回(前回は男性お1人とご夫婦1組でした)と違ってお客さんは女性と小さなお嬢さん1組だったので野球ではなく他の番組をご覧になっていましたが、その番組が終わってから野球に変えてくださいました(笑)。

Yesterday, we got back to Kobe from Fukuoka a little before 6:00pm, had a bit of a rest and I did some blogging before we went to a local Okonomi-yaki restaurant for dinner. We went there once before, quite early in our stay in Japan, the food was good, the lady who cooks is very nice and my husband loved watching the baseball game (Hanshin Tigers qualifying for the Japan series) while we had dinner so much that he wanted to go back. Last time there was one guy and a couple watching the game but this time the customers were a lady with her little daughter (then another lady came in later) so they were watching a different TV programme, but once that finished the owner kindly turned the channel to the baseball game.

ペンネのジェノベーゼ和えが少し出てきました、美味しかったです。

To start she gave us a little bowl of penne with genovase sauce, very nice.

手前は、山芋のバジル炒め、奥はお豆腐ステーキ。

Yamaimo (yam) in the front and Tofu in the back.

山芋のバジル炒め。

Yamaimo with basil

お豆腐ステーキはこれが夫の分で半量。フルフルで美味しいです。

Tofu steak, this is a half, which is my husband’s. It’s really soft and yummy.

豚玉。今日は前回より硬めでした。

Pork & egg okonomi-yaki. This time it was firmer than the last time.

ソーセージ。

Sausages.

大根が入ったお漬物も出してくださいました。

Some turnip pickles.

前日に餃子屋さんで食べましたが好みではなかったので、焼きそば。

We’d had Yakisoba in the gyoza restaurant on the day before but we didn’t like it so much, so we had it again here and it was much better.

生ビール、夫は3杯、わたしは1杯。この後、柿を4切れ出してくださいました。前回と違うのは、焼きそばかそば飯かだけ。お会計は、5,800円。美味しかったです!

ちなみに、野球、この時点ではタイガースはまだ負けていましたが、その後8回で点を入れて勝ちました!夫、大喜び。

My husband had 3 draft beers, I had 1. The lady gave us 4 pieces of persimmon for a dessert. We ordered the same things as the first time except Yakisoba instead of Sobameshi. The total bill was 5,800 yen (£32). Everything was good.

Incidentally, the Tigers were losing when we left the restaurant, but they gained 6 runs in the 8th inning and won the game. My husband was very happy!
