on the bathroom door in hag, our local cheap draught beer hangout [a whopping 250 yen]. their name is also a laugh. they wanted to call themselves 'hug' but when the sign came, there was quite a typo. eager to open they just went with it...hag was born.


two of the many hilarious signs at my favorite yaki tori [grilled chicken on a stick] restaurant. the master's english is good and they don't mind serving foreigners. guess they attempt to put us at ease with good ole english.

this one hangs above the japanese style toilet.


sewing machines with spell check...the next big thing?


yummy rib loast, an osaka specialty...
