Scratch 'n Sniff Kobe-Seoul Extravaganza! {Loren Goodman}

Salad, rakkyo, chicken curry -- perfect!

My camera couldn't quite capture the aromatic steam.

There are so many good curry places in Kobe, both Indian-style and Japanese-style.
The best curry in Kobe may be found here:

Whenever I go back to Kobe, I want to eat: udon, yakiniku, curry, waffles. 
This time I had the curry and waffles.

Take a whiff of these waffles:

Kobe is famous for its baked goods; these include Manneken waffles.
On the other side of the partition, you can see them going into the iron
as mucousy blobs. They come out like this! I got strawberry and chocolate.

Long lines...

Where else can you get an airport breakfast like this?

First one to identify all the food (10 items) on the tray wins a prize.

Smell the flowers

 

Kobe is also famous for its pudding ("pureen")

Smell of nostalgia: Hyogo Foreign Students Dormitory (2 years)
and the nearby North Korean Elementary/Junior High School
that used to blast me out of bed with Souza-like marches at
7 am.

 

Hankyu Kasuganomichi Station: the narrowest train

platform in the world? It appeared in a dream to me

as narrow as a diving board. I had to go back and check.

Coco Ichiban isn't bad either

You know it's good when you forget to take the picture.
Terrance had the squid salad as well.

Smell of falls (RIP, Komatsu Noriyuki).

Up Rokko Mountain: Steep! Smell of traction.

First off - whose kitty is that in the blue box?

Breakfast quiz - I've identified (I think) a hard-boiled egg; salmon; tofu (?); rice noodles; rice; miso soup? Otherwise, I'm baffled.

Shiho-chan is the neighborhood cat.

With five out of ten (no rice noodles), you're in the lead! Breakfast identification prize entries will be accepted through May 1.
