간사이 공항 간코 스시 (Kansai International Airport Ganko Sushi)

Well, here I am on the road again, headed back to San Diego for a family event.  I, like most people, prefer to fly Korean Air or Asiana Air but have you checked out their fares lately?? It's ridiculous. So here I am... a customer (victim) to the lowest bidder - United Airlines.  But you know what?  I've slowly come to terms with flying on United Airlines because things aren't that bad once you become a Star Alliance Silver Member.  Their planes are still substandard compared to Korean/Asiana Air (no individual monitors, less leg space) but gotta appreciate the affordable fare.

Typical of a low-fare ticket, I had a 4 hour layover in Osaka (Kansai International Airport).  I initially cringed but hey, what a great opportunity to get some great decent Japanese food.  A good foodie always does his/her homework so I did a quick search of the restaurants before I took off at Incheon.  Kansai isn't a very big airport so pickings were pretty slim.  There are a lot of cafes with appetizers but I wanted a full meal as my arrival time was right around lunch time.

Beautiful, clear day in Osaka

Pretty quiet airport

The only full meal restaurant in the International Terminal

I was torn between this Negitoro/Tempura Udon Set and the Negitoro Donburi Set (below).  Eventually ordered the Negitoro/Tempura Udon Set.

Nothing like drinking Asahi in Japan.  Just feels a bit more authentic.

My favorite sushi after uni.

A mix of sliced green onions and otoro (fatty tuna).

Not a very big meal but just right.  Not bad at all for airport food.

Did a little shopping after lunch.  I love these little Japanese snacks.

Green Tea Kit-Kat

Off to San Francisco.
