Welcome to irenelaw.com

This is my last post about my trip to Osaka in summer 2018. Guess what?!?! Heading there again in August ;p Finally… Took me almost a year to finish this post.

Throughout the 6 days in Osaka, I didn’t eat any sushi. My first kaiten sushi in Japan was at Nigirino Tokube, Kansai International Airport, Terminal 1, 2F. There were many eateries at the airport but since it was lunch hour, it was packed everywhere. This is the only eatery that had fast turnover and we didn’t wait too long.

People might be thinking we are crazy to eat so much raw food before boarding our flight hahaha… Oh well… We didn’t thought of this when we were there. Good thing, nothing bad happened to out tummy hahaha… Frankly, I’m not worry about this in Japan.

There were 5 of us. I don’t remember the total bill because I did not pay for it. These are the food we ate, some we took twice or even thrice. We walloped over 20 plates of sushi ;p Some I forgot to take photos too.

One thing to remember, once you took the plate away from the kaiten, do not put it back, otherwise the alarm will be triggered. Opppss… I did that ;p Lesson learnt. Decide what you want then take it. Do not even remove it from the kaiten even for less than 0.1 seconds. Once it’s not on the kaiten, it’s considered ‘sold’.

They were soooo good! I’m sure it’s cheaper here to eat all these. It will definitely cost a bomb if you are to eat them in Malaysia.

Nigirino Tokube serves genuine sushi made with carefully-preserved traditional techniques with specially-selected fresh local ingredients.

You can order from screen on your table which is multi-lingual if you can’t find the food you want on the kaiten and the sushi will be sent to you via special track next to your table, it will shoot out to your table via the track hahaha…

If you are at the Kansai International Airport and wondering what to eat and if you have strong stomach or you are not afraid of eating raw food before flight, you can consider this place.

I think I will likely come back here to eat next month before my flight departs to Kuala Lumpur provided I still have enough money left at the end of the trip :P.

It was satisfying… Burp…

Just going to share the two eateries that we’ve been to when we were in Takashimaya Osaka. You can consider going there as it was the locals who brought us there.


These are the street views around the area.

Kamameshi Hanakoume is located on 8F is where you can get various selections of donburi. Those I’m sharing here are only valid for summer 2018, it was the menu on offer.

These are the side dishes that came with the donburi. We ordered 4 sets of donburi. Each set was priced at 3,000 yen.

Left: Also one of the side dishes.
Right: I couldn’t recall what’s this, I think it should be octopus.

Left: Abalone? I’m not sure too hahaha…
Right: Unagi.

Left: This should be mix seafood.
Right: Our dessert, Matcha ice cream.

The price range for lunch is from 1,620 yen, while dinner is from 2,700 yen. The food quality is good. In fact, a set can be shared among 2 pax of small to average eaters.

Next, for dessert, we went to Lobby Cafe Fascino located on 7F. Very popular place for cakes and pastries. The queue was rather long.




Look! Do they look delicious?

We ordered 3 types of cakes…

Left: Muscat(grape) tart, the grapes was crunchy and sweet. The overall wasn’t too sweet. My first time eating this type of grape.
Right: The mix fruit tart was nice too.

Left: This is chocolate mousse. Good thing was that it’s not sickly sweet too. Very rich and creamy.
Right: Hahaha… It’s the mix fruit tart again. Just another angle LOL!!

If you would like to have tea or desserts in style, you can consider this place. The price range for drinks is from 720 yen, while light meals is from 750 yen.

There’s many other eateries in this shopping mall. If you have higher budget for meal, you can have your meals in the shopping mall. Otherwise, you can opt to buy your meals at the convenience store, that would save you a lot!
