Feelings: We ate a lot of amazing food in
Osaka, also known as "The City of Kuidaore (enjoy good food to the last drop)." It is near impossible to find bad food in my hometown, with the exception of bagels that leave something to be desired. Don't forget to check out

Wow. There are A LOT of donuts in Japan. Lots! I'm wondering if the cookie, muffin, bread hybrid is genius or disturbing. Was it at least tasty?
Yes donuts are the "it" dessert right now over there. The cookie-muffin-bread was delicious! RB was obsessed over it--he went back to the bakery the next day and got some more.
