At Dinner-Japan Town

Went to Japan Town for dinner. It gets dark pretty quick in the city nowadays. I posted a bit about Japan Town earlier and posted some exterior photos. I also reviewed one of the restaurants before.

In the Kintetsu building, their restaurant row is shown below. The available restaurants include Isobune (sushi on floating boats that revolve around the chefs in front of the customers), Benihana (Teppanyaki), Osaka-ya, Mifune (noodles), and Kushi Tsuru (deep fried food on a stick).

I dined at Kushi Tsuru. Like many Japanese restaurants, they display their menu items in the window to entice your appetite. Aside from deep fried items on a stick, they also offer their usual standard fare of items like teriyaki, some sushi, and rice bowls.


This is the walkway that connects the two major buildings together. On the left is a senior citizen center as well as a kimono shop and a shop that sells uniquely Japanese items. On the right is a shop that promotes the local Taiko (drum) performers


The Kinokuniya building houses the bookstore that stradles both floors. There are also a number of resturants on both floors as well. A hoppy shop with Japanese models and figures and video rental store are located on the bottom floors
