Since we would be staying in Kyoto on Friday night to attend FIL's memorial service the next day, Satoshi let me go earlier to go holo-holo (gallavanting).
I was lucky to get to see Mount Fuji on the way.
It was my first time back in Osaka since we moved to Tokyo
My first stop was Chocolaterie Coco which I had only learned about after moving to Tokyo, apparently he has been in business since 2015.
Since Friday was the day after White day, choices were kind of slim.Still I was able to pick out 6 bon bons to try.
All were delicious, love!
I want to try his baked items next time
And then I walked through Honmachi to see all sorts of architecture that were featured on a J-drama
Stumbling on a lot of more things along the way.
In Kyoto, I went to Matsuhiro Shoten and bought a couple of gamaguchi purses

I'm glad they survived the pandemic
And had a very late lunch at Le Bac à Sable, it had been about 8 years since the last time I ate here.

They don't have a lunch menu anymore, so I just had a cheese quiche (which I heated up with their toaster), pain au chocolat and iced coffee...980 yen (tax included)
And then I went up the street to Chocolaterie Hisashi
I picked out 6 bon bons (miso, caramel chocolat, sake, praline pistache, matcha and yuzu)...2700 yen (tax included)
I'm glad they survived the pandemic too

Loved the caramel chocolat macaron too...475 yen (tax included)
And then I went to Nishiki Market, because I saw something online that said Torisei, which has been in business for over 100 years, sell bentos.

Unfortunately, they only had foods on sticks...(I actually think the info online was wrong)
These days Nishiki Market is definitely not the place to be...way.too.many.people.
super meaty and flavorful
Which had a free 1 hour all you can drink, in the lobby (for guests) between 16:00-21:00
Luckily Satoshi arrived in Kyoto so we could try the 1 hour all you can drink
