Japanese famous places-Amerikamura.

February 10, 2010

Amerikamura (American Village) is usually referred to by locals as “Ame-mura.” It is a sizable retail and entertainment area near Shinsaibashi in the Minami district of Osaka, Japan.

Amerikamura is identifiable by a small-scale reproduction of the Statue of Liberty that peers down on the streets. It is a well-known haunt of expatriate Westerners, and centres on Triangle Park, a concrete rest area surrounded by retail outlets of Western fashions, bars and nightclubs, some of which are run by Westerners.

Its repute as a hangout for Western foreigners is a matter of degree. Much as Osaka’s registered foreign population is a small fraction of the total population, the makeup of the crowds and retail space in Ame-mura is predominantly Japanese. Locally, Ame-mura is known for being a place for observing some of the more “fashion intense” manifestations of Japanese youth culture.

If our customers visit our offices in Osaka and would like to go visit amerikamura,our stuff can take them there.


Japanese Pizza,the okonomiyaki.

February 10, 2010

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake containing a variety of ingredients. Okonomi means [what you like] and Yaki means [Grilled].

Osaka-style okonomiyaki is the predominant version of the dish, found throughout most of Japan. The batter is made of flour, grated yam, water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage, and usually contains other ingredients such as green onion, meat (generally pork or bacon), octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables, kimchi, mochi or cheese. Okonomiyaki is sometimes compared to an omelette or a pancake and may be referred to as “a Japanese pancake”.

Most okonomiyaki restaurants are grill-it-yourself establishments, where the server produces a bowl of raw ingredients that the customer mixes and grills at tables fitted with teppan, or special hotplates. They may also have a diner-style counter where the cook prepares the dish in front of the customers.
