<\/a><\/p>\nWe got to Nagoya about 11:30 and dropped off our baggage at the Toyoko Inn. I wanted to take my mom and sister to the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology (or the place with the looms and the cars) but we got there just about lunchtime. There\u2019s really nowhere to eat around the museum but there are two places to eat in the museum. One\u2019s a cafeteria and there other is quite a bit more fancy. Last year when I was here I didn\u2019t choose either but today we picked the the fancy option.<\/p>\n
Somehow I picked the more-expensive thing that had more items (fish AND meat) but there seemed to be less of everything.<\/p>\n
I even got a dessert assortment.<\/p>\n After we made it through the museum we went to the Noritake Gardens and the museum there. The things they had as their examples of fancy were garish to me, and the things they had in the, \u201cThis is Noritake too,\u201d exhibit were a lot more interesting to me. My sister did notice that I really liked the china patterns with blue in them.<\/p>\n That was pretty much the whole day. We went out to dinner to a place suggested by the woman at the front counter of the hotel. It was a food court-like restaurant that had miso tonkatsu as well as unagi that the area is famous for. Once again my mom and my sister got a filet cut while I got a roast, though today it was pork instead of beef.<\/p>\n I got a half-and-half of miso and regular tonkatsu sauce. Now I remember what I thought last year; I\u2019ll get miso tonkatsu when I come to Nagoya but I think I like the regular tonkatsu sauce better.<\/p>\n Now I\u2019m back in my room watching Japanese TV.<\/p>\n Tomorrow it\u2019s off to Tokyo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We left Matsuzaka this morning at a civilized 10:09AM which might\u2019ve been a bit late. We did seem to wait for the train for a while just wandering around the two or three stores in the train station. Here\u2019s a picture of a fat dude with a little metal bull.
