There is a food court of sorts inside the Yodobashi Camera building in Umeda and is called Sweets Museum.

At first when this area opened, there were all sorts of sweet shops but as businesses folded, they have started bringing in many savory shops.

Recently, when I passed by, I noticed this shop with a vertical rotisserie and it smelled wonderful!

I made a mental note and finally got a chance to try it.

This shop specializes in Turkish doner kebabs, which I found out is the vertical rotisserie.

Satoshi chose the beef with curry and I chose the chicken with cheese.

Each kebab was topped with shredded cabbage and some red onion.

My kebab wrap was also topped with a yogurt sauce.

I loved how the edges were cripy and the bulk of the wrap was chewy.

The chicken was a little dry, but the taste overall was delicious. Satoshi enjoyed his kebab also.

Total with soft drinks, 1500 yen (about US$15).

I also wanted to show you some funny sights and signs...

I love how you can always find someone sleeping in remote areas of buildings. This guy was snoozing away near the restrooms.

And in the bathroom, most signs say "no smoking" but this one is gently asking you to "please give up smoking"...

Happy Sunday!
