Why what are you looking for? Anything in particular?

[superhero]

i'm there for 4 days, with no itinerary other than visiting kyoto.

looking for some mild shopping, clubbing on the weekend (international friendly, because I'm australian) and perhaps relaxing things to do like masssages or spas/springs etc.

Minami Horie, Minami Senba, or Shinsaibashi/Amerika-mura areas are good places just to wander-around-shopping areas. There are quite a few foreign crowd clubs in the same area.

Depending on what type of shopping you are looking to do I can steer you in a clearer direction but if you are just looking to wander for a bit the areas I mentioned are probably your best bet.

Nakazaki-cho in Umeda is also a good area, lots of vintage and select shops there.

i'm gonna be in osaka from the 23rd to the 27th, anything going on those days?

and i'm looking for a place to watch the Lakers vs Heat on Christmas (26th over here), would there be any spots showing that game?

^I ordered modanyaki in Kiji and the cook looked at me like like I was an idiot, and told me I shouldn't order that and that he was just going to make okonomiyaki for me instead. Food was delicious though at least.

And Jinen sushi is fucking amazing.

[bentobox]

And Jinen sushi is fucking amazing.

Ask for the "Beni" at Jinen. Salmon aburi with just a touch of lemon juice and rock salt. So good it hurts.

[derek_]

concur on Jinen Sushi and Kiji for okonomiyaki, I went to osaka last year and did a write-up for both places, links are:

More than enough time for sure.

Also, late night udon at Tsuruton (open till like 7 AM) is the bomb. Find it at the corner of Soemoncho and Sakaisuji (south east corner of Shinsaibashi).

The main Jinen is open till 4 AM as well.

[the bandanna almanac]

Anything going on tomorrow Bento?

[bentobox]

Tomorrow (Friday) is a mixed bag. Best/most crowded party will be at Giraffe but the music will be all-genre+jpop. Same story for Onzieme. I think there is Hip Hop at Candy as well, I can look into it. PM if you want to check any of that out and I:ll see what I can do.

I:m off to DJ at a Ski/Snowboard Festival in Hakuba. Next week Friday is Hollywood at Onzieme. I:ll be doing a special long set with Kango on 4 turntables. Should be fun. Hope you can make it.
