I'm thinking of installing the app soon since I use this place near my regular accommodation quite frequently. When my stomach is tired, I'll go for fruits and baked sweet potatoes. It's nothing fancy, but I feel more at ease eating things I'm used to. The baked sweet potatoes are more like steamed potatoes with a lot of moisture. The pineapple is juicy and refreshing, making it a great option when your stomach is tired. It's light yet satisfying, perfect for when you want a little snack. Since there aren't many supermarkets around here, this place is really convenient.

It's a mystery to people from Kanto. I went to the supermarket below Yodobashi to buy dinner. There were a lot of side dishes and it was a fun supermarket. Then I saw an egg sandwich. But it was a rolled omelette. And it's only 99 yen!! I bought it. It looks thin, but I ate it quickly. However, there was no mayonnaise on it. It has a nice dashi flavor. The mustard that comes with it goes well, but I think ketchup is unnecessary. It suddenly changes to an American taste even though it has a Japanese feel. Is this a hot dog type? It's a mystery. I like it.

Finely chop 1 onion and half a clove of garlic, sprinkle with a little pepper, and sauté in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until soft. Add 2-3 small chopped cherry tomatoes if available. Then add 80g of tomato puree and simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes, shaking the pot to prevent boiling. Serve the cooked pasta in a bowl and pour the sauce over it. If you have chopped spinach, sprinkle it on top. This dish stands out from regular tomato sauce with its natural tomato flavor. When the original sauce is of good quality, it's best not to add any extra flavors. This dish is addictive.

Procure the following items. Cook two kinds of eggs from Konodai in the microwave, seasoned only with Lawry's salt. Lightly sprinkle Lawry's pepper on the lettuce. Use approximately half of the lettuce and ham. Use three mini tomatoes. Factory-grown fluffy Batavia lettuce from Osaka Prefectural University, frilly lettuce from Nara's Kintetsu Farm, and mini tomatoes selected by a vegetable sommelier from Kumamoto. Boned ham slices from Kamakura Ham weighing 192g. Our signature potato salad. Saury and shiso leaf fry.

There is a Harves Link Umeda store in the Yodobashi Umeda Tower at JR Osaka Station North Exit. It is the largest supermarket in the Umeda area, offering a wide variety of everyday products. It is enjoyable to shop there as they have items not found in local supermarkets. They also offer a diverse selection of bento boxes, side dishes, and local Osaka specialties. The onigiri and sandwiches are also abundant. I often stop by the vegetable section where I can buy fresh vegetables at a reasonable price. I purchased some water spinach (200 yen) which I couldn't find in other stores. I enjoyed a delicious stir-fry dish with the crispy texture of the water spinach after a long time. I also bought a Kimbap roll (238 yen) from the sushi corner, which was delicious.

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the "Osaka Model" for determining the lifting of restrictions on facilities and stores has met the criteria for 7 consecutive days, and on the evening of May 14, the "Tower of the Sun" and "Tsutenkaku" were lit up in green. The giant outdoor LED sign of "Daikin Industries" near Osaka Station, known as "Daipichon-kun," also changed to green, allowing restaurants to operate until 10 pm, signaling a gradual return to normalcy. For lunch, I decided to get a takeout lunch and headed to the "Harves LINKS UMEDA store" on the basement floor of the Yodobashi Umeda Tower near Osaka Station. This place is the largest food supermarket in the Umeda area, offering a wide variety of bento boxes and side dishes, as well as local specialties from Osaka and the Kintetsu line. I purchased the following items, all excluding tax: - Salmon and mentaiko rice balls with chicken karaage and rolled omelette set for 398 yen - Salmon spring rolls for 298 yen - Grilled sardine in garlic oil for 298 yen I brought them home, transferred the canned "grilled sardine in garlic oil" to a skillet, added olive oil-soaked cheese, and baked it until hot. The cheese added a creamy texture to the rich flavor, making it a perfect snack with alcohol. The "Salmon spring rolls" dipped in sweet chili sauce were filled with plenty of finely chopped vegetables and were both cheap and delicious. I lightly heated the "Salmon and mentaiko rice ball set" in the microwave, which also came with chicken karaage and rolled omelette as side dishes, making it a great deal. The sweet and melty "Donan" with an alcohol content of 60% has finally run out. The only remaining awamori is the rare "Awahama" from Hateruma Island, which I would like to stock up on by going to Okinawa, but who knows when that will be possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Enjoy your meal! (●^o^●)

In May 2020, my phone's battery was running low, so I went to Yodobashi Umeda to get it replaced. While waiting for the battery replacement, I had lunch and checked out the supermarket "Harves" in LINKS UMEDA. I was surprised by the variety of products they had. For dinner, I bought "Ise Shima Wakame" for 298 yen (bonito dashi soy sauce flavor). I tried it at home and it was delicious - with a slimy and crunchy texture, and the bonito dashi soy sauce flavor made it very easy to eat. It was a perfect side dish for rice. It was really tasty. Thank you for the meal!

I decided to have dinner here for a change of pace. I used to live along the Kintetsu line, but this is my first time at Konsho. It feels like a regular supermarket but bigger and with slightly better selection. I had handmade rice balls with shredded kelp, plum, and spicy cod roe, pork miso soup, simmered hijiki seaweed, sautéed burdock root, dried daikon radish, spinach with sesame dressing, and grilled salted striped mackerel.

I found out later that there is a supermarket in the basement of Link Umeda, which has only been open for a month. It gets quite crowded around 7:30 pm on weekdays. I don't think there was a supermarket like this near Umeda, so it must be quite convenient. They have a variety of fresh foods and snacks, but the highlight is their wide selection of side dishes and bento boxes. I decided to get a Kanpachi sashimi for 299 yen, which was half off because it was night time. It was delicious with a good amount of fat. The Kanpachi was quite large and the cutting was well done. They also provide wasabi and soy sauce portions at the counter. As for drinks, I chose a Biriken beer for 350 yen, which was quite pricey. The can featured Biriken and Minoh waterfall. It's a Weizen beer made from wheat malt, with a fruity aroma. I didn't realize Biriken has been around since 1912, with a connection to Minoh. They also have pure rice sake, which is relatively easy to drink with a mild bitterness. It's said to go well with savory snacks. There is a self-checkout available. It was a great meal!

Since the situation with the coronavirus has finally settled down, my spouse and I went on a 3-night trip to the mountain hot springs in Kaga, Hokuriku. Before boarding the limited express Thunderbird departing from Osaka Station, we stopped by HEP FIVE to buy bento boxes to enjoy on the train. After much deliberation due to the extensive selection, we ended up purchasing two Japanese-style bento boxes for 464 yen each, tax included, that seemed to pair well with beer. While they were much more reasonably priced compared to station bento boxes, the variety of Japanese side dishes inside made them a perfect match for the beer. When using the Shinkansen, it is common to buy bento boxes at Nishi-Akashi, Shin-Kobe, or Shin-Osaka stations, but we would definitely consider using HEP FIVE again when boarding the limited express from Osaka Station. Thank you for the delicious meal.

(I stayed at the hotel) I bought some "snacks" for dinner with my parents and my darling at my parents' house. (Actually, I did a "site inspection" before my husband arrived (lol) www) [Time of shopping] → Since it was close to closing time, most of the products were not great... (^_^;) But I was able to get some decent items, so I'll share them ✨/////// Purchased items /////// ☆ Sparkling wine (rose) ☆ Dragon fruit ☆ Sushi /////////////////////// [Underground shopping area of ydbs] → It was surprisingly amazing, haha. "I should visit this supermarket more often from now on (●´ϖ`●)"

The bento boxes and side dishes have a wide variety of options. The prices are reasonable and very useful for everyday use. I find them very convenient and helpful.
