Apparently the storm did not cause as much disruption as anticipated. Last night it was pretty windy outside, but most of that seems to have subsided. Soon I'll venture out for some breakfast.
The Granvia Hotel is connected to a large underground mall, the train station and Takashimaya department store. You could, except for the walk from the door of the hotel to the stairs down, not go outside at all.
I have not been to the station yet, but I've walked around Takashimaya and the mall. Found a tasty ramen shop in the mall. When I was there the chef, su chef and server were women.
Had a delightful meal last night finish with one of my food goals; a parfait. It was maccha flavored. It had little dango, chunks of chocolate and fruit on the bottom.
I've been told that the Starbucks green tea is must taste.
So many foods so little time..

Sensei - I am jealous of the trip (ok, except that turn the plane around part) it sounds like everyone is having a great time. I just got off the phone with Jim and he mentioned that the Ching kids were able to spend time with the student they hosted last April from the Okayama Youth Orchesta..very cool. You make the food sound so delicious too! I miss the basements of the large department stores with all the tsukemono choices!
Enjoy Enjoy.. great blog! - Sue
BTW. We really like the Kurashiki side trip. (A Big thanks to Auntie Phyllis for organizing this!)
There weren't too many people because of the typhoon and we visited the Ohashi House with its "kura" (warehouse). A very large (for Japan) house with over 40 tatami mats. But very low ceilings and entries!! The toy museum and the music box museum (orugooru musee' - japanese AND french in the same sentence, yikes!) were really neat, too!
