Being St. Patrick's Day, we stopped by an Irish looking pub nearby - Maggie's by Shenanigan :-) Unfortunately, the menu had nothing very Irish looking on it (certainly no "Jiggs Dinner" with corned beef,) and since we didn't want a beer, we just took the photo op.
We decided to go for Cabbage in our favorite Japanese style - OKONOMIYAKI!! These are the cabbage pizza/pancakes with meat, fish or whatever toppings you want. That's literally the translation of name of the dish "grilled whatever you like." We chose the "Mixed Modern Yaki" with cabbage, noodles, pork, shrimp & squid. Delicious!
Walking home, we went through Kobe's small China Town and each had "Goma Dango" for dessert. These are sweet, sticky rice balls (mochi) with red bean paste inside & coated with sesame seeds. We like these so much we joke that we could become Goma Dango!
Lastly, the night view of Kobe's Harbor. Prominent in the picture are Kobe Tower, the Hotel Okura (where we stayed the first month when we moved here & where many stay when they come from Lilly for business) and the Oriental Hotel. It was a crisp, cold night, but nice to walk around.
