Momiji Tempura 紅葉天婦羅

紅葉天婦羅是大阪箕面市 (みのお／Monoo) 的名物，口感有點像中國新年時常吃的炸角仔，味道不錯。其實紅葉本身無有甚麼味道，只是焯頭，炸粉的味道比較重要。不過幾有意境，紅葉季節吃紅葉天婦羅也頗有意思。

Momiji Tempura is made with red maple leaf, deep fried with slightly sweet batter. The maple leaf doesn’t really have much taste, but the deep fried sweet batter makes it taste like potato chips. Momiji Tempura is a speciality sweet of Minoo City, Osaka.

Monday March 15, 2011 – First Working Day After Earthquake

: Today is Monday and I was informed to go to office at 10:30. I go take a train at 8:50am.

: Train stopped at Aomono Yokocho station. I’ts almost 10am so I decided to walk to a closer station.

: Arrive JR Osaki station at 10:15am. Waited a long time until the train finally comes.

: Looking at the opposite platform where the line is heading to Shinagawa direction. Very orderly and calm waiting for the train to come

: I usually down like to take flyers, but seeing this flyer-giver working even in such difficult time, I took one hoping she can go home earlier

: Shinagawa station very crowded. Keikyu line is scheduled to close at 3:30pm so everybody is rushing home

: Shinagawa station – platform of the Keikyu side. People are lining up very orderly.
