Himeji Special Delicacies

As we heard in Osaka its famous for the okonomiyaki. But, in Japan,we can find okonomiyaki or others Japanese Delicacies anywhere. In Himeji, you able to find okonomiyaki,takoyaki,taiyaki,etc too. But,I think 'rice burger' you can only found in Himeji. Here,we called it Himeji Okakure Baga 姫路お隠れバーガーwhich mean Himeji Hidden Burger. The waitress in the shop will dress like ninja. I think its quite attractive to tourist/local customer. There are 2 type of burgers, unagi burger or kobe beef burger. The burger cost 600 yen each. Its wasn`t a cheap burger compare to normal burger. Yet, its worth to try. The shop is nearby the Himeji Tourist Information Center. It is a small shop with やっさ弁当 as the signboard.  

Another special delicacy is taiyaki たい焼き。Taiyaki is a Japanese fish shape pancake. The most common filling is red bean paste made from azuki beans. In Himeji, there are special filling with macha/vanilla ice-cream, cheese, chocolate and many more. I like the macha and vanilla ice cream filling the best. You can find these taiyaki in Miyuki-doori みゆき通り.
