Mixed Plate – Osaka Edition

Happy Aloha Friday! Just wanted to do a post with some random pictures I wouldn’t be able to create full posts out of…from Osaka! Enjoy!

Okay, I have to admit…Coca Cola Peach was the drink I really really wanted to try in Japan. I read that it was a limited edition and prayed it would still be there when I took my trip. I actually ran into the 711 as we walked to the apartment and found it. Hallelujah. After a very long travel, I just wanted for throw down and take a big drink of this drink. Ummm…well, I didn’t like it. To me, it tastes nothing like peach….or if it tasted like peach, it tasted very artificial, almost flowery. I did not like it and would not get this again.

Check this out! I had to get a quick pic of this as we walked around…they have Aloha Maid! 80 cents a can, special discount. Haha! Is how our cans read too? Passion & Orange? I always thought it was just passion orange.

OKAY, HERE IS MY FAVORITE DRINK. Sorry for the yelling, but I really enjoyed this drink. It was delicious and refreshing. Okay, you see the word vitamin on the bottle but let’s be real, this drink ain’t healthy in any way and I no care. I even snuck a few bottles home…and regret not sneaking more. Okay, maybe I just need to buy some coke here and add my own lemon. So good…

For two days, I bought food from 711 the night before to have for breakfast. I had a hard time adjusting to Japan time so I usually woke up before 5am and got hungry. Here is one of the musubi packs, salmon and mayo tuna. Oh my, so good. The quality of the ingredients is just so great. You know how the musubis are here? We put it in the fridge and then it’s rock hard. Well these musubis stay ono and soft. 711 in Japan is awesome.

Last dish to share…I love soba so this was one of my meals. I love that they give you a little packet of water to add to the noodles so they don’t stay stuck together. Man…wish our 711 would step up their game. And they sold these two dashi eggs on the side, yup I ate both and yup both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Orange runny yolk for the win. Have a great weekend guys.

    sometimes in the vending machines you can find small sized coca colas, I wondered about that peach flavor, sorry you had to take a hit for the team.

      The small colas are so cute! No room in my luggage, too busy getting all the full sizes to take home, lol. I did get the sakura edition of coke and have it in my office on display. 🙂

    I too love Diet coke w/ lemon except it’s rare to find it here…use to be a regular. Now it’s diet coke with lime which doesn’t do a think for me. They came out w/ new flavors now: blood orange, ginger lime, and mango. They’re only available here in those tiny little cans. I do love the ginger lime and the orange is okay. I’m allergic to mango. Times as it for about $6 a case when they had it on sale for 2/$8, and Walmart is $4 something but it’s all sold out. I did not know that about musubis in Japan, I wonder why ours get so rock hard, yeah? Thanks! -N

      I wonder why that is N! I enjoy lemon so much more than lime as well. I never got into diet soda so it’s too bad I not gonna try the new diet coke flavors! Japan must only serve just good rice…or my fridge was not full power so I was eating a musubi slowly rotting overnight…lol.
