We had a slow morning, but eventually got up and had absolutely wild coffee at Glitch. Katie had an incredibly chocolately flat white with Columbian beans, while I had a pour over that was so complex and delicate it was more like tea than coffee.
Sufficiently caffeinated, we got lunch at An udon spot, then wandered around Osaka looking for ceramics. We happened upon a nice little park, got some gelato, and accidentally found ourselves in Dotonbori. Katie bested multiple claw machines, then we headed back to the hotel.
We cleaned up, then grabbed drinks and bites at the beautiful hotel bar. They had their own takes on classics: I had a Smoking Chestnut (a brandy alexander), while Katie had their take on a strawberry blini. We got some bites, a crudite, spicy tuna on rice crackers, “okonomiyaki” (eggos + prosciutto + truffle mayo), “hassleback” potatoes (a potato round + mustard).
We then took advantage of in ofuro in our room, and went to bed.
