"I follow a couple of reviewers and food bloggers on social media," Osamu admits somewhat sheepishly. "My SNS is usually full of pictures of amazin' lookin' food, it makes me hungry just goin' online sometimes. But most places aren't close enough to Hyogo for me to just go, you know? This is the first time I'm goin' anywhere I've seen outside of Kobe."

He pauses, then adds with a laugh. "Thought about goin' to Osaka a few times, though. The food there's supposed to be amazing."
