Another day in Okayama! Same hotel breakfast as before, though some of the items were different. No potato salad and the fried chicken was prepared differently as well. Still tasty, though.

I took a separate picture of the view this time since it looked blurry yesterday.

Our friend Yumi wanted to take us to the place that originated Okayama’s demi katsu, tonkatsu in demiglace sauce.There was a line and I can see why. They had some of the best tonkatsu and the demiglace sauce matched it very well. Unlike the complaints I had in Hokuriku with their sauced tonkatsu, the sides were great as well.

Here’s a picture of the different sizes. Two half-size, one regular, and one jumbo.

Afterwards we went to get some coffee at one of my favorites.

Then we had some time to kill before dessert, so we went to Raffine to get 40 minute massages. Well worth the time.

We went to the Higashiyama district of Okayama city to get some pancakes that were cooked in front of us.

The pancakes came with white bean paste and salt and also some syrup if you wanted. I just ate them with the bean paste and a little salt. They were delicious. The pourover coffee was strong and was perfect with the pancakes.

My sister and I were on our own for dinner and we picked the Italian restaurant that had more customers. It was OK. This mini pizza was fine but mostly lacking in flavor. I forgot to take pictures of the pasta and really it looked better than it tasted, and it didn’t look exceptional. It was OK. I wouldn’t not go, but I’d definitely try the other Italian restaurant first before I came back to this one.
