The vanilla ice cream in the cone was sweet and delicious. One bite and it just melted inside my mouth. The twisted soft ice cream that…

A Happy Smile Meal In A Cafe
Last month, we were introduced by a family member to have a brunch in this modern cafe called Take Eat Easy Cafe, which is tugged at a corner of an office building. The exterior of the cafe is simple, dark glass doors with steely door bars, a brown awning stating that it has baked goods, pastry, sandwich, pizza, salad, waffle, ice-cream and coffee.

Osaka Museum of History
Do you enjoy cultural activities like visiting the museum? If yes, then I would suggest paying a visit to Osaka Museum of History after the Osaka Castle.
