AEON Tsuchiura shopping center

We finally went to the AEON Tsuchiura shopping center (イオン土浦ショッピングセンター) which was new opened on May 28. I was so surprised that it was very big, and has many shops. Map


First of all, we looked around 3rd floor, and found Crystal World which sells fossil & beautiful natural stone. My son was amazed the triceratops's leg fossil and many shell's fossil. My father in low likes natural stone, so each of us chose "my interesting stone" for father's day.



Then, we went to food court and game & amusement place. My son enjoyed the Animal Kaiser game, and I & baby took a rest with tapioca tea. There are baby goods, kid's clothes, toy shops around amusement place, so it is very convenient for family.
We took lunch at food court, there is play space, so my boys played there waiting food.


I had "Sekarasika(せからしか)" noodle. Look at the picture.
It was yummy~(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ. My husband had " Tonkotsu Ramen(とんこつらぁ麺)" noodle. It was also nice!

We went to first floor, there are Disney store, Body shop, Mujirushi Ryouhin (無印良品) store etc... Mujirushi store has some children's clothes and toys. Have a look!
My friend recommended me socks store "Kutsusitaya (靴下屋)". She said she loves socks and there are many socks in the shop. I have to go there next time.

Okonomiyaki Honpo (お好み焼き本舗)

We went to okonomiyaki restaurant " Okonomiyaki Honpo (お好み焼き本舗) ". The restaurant’s home is Oosaka area, and the Tsukuba branch was opened the end of April. Each table has iron hot plate, so we enjoyed making okonomiyaki, with good smell and sound.



I can tell you how to cook.
#1 Mix the ingredients and fry it for 6 minutes on the iron pan.
#2 Flip the okonomiyaki using a spatula, and roast it more 6 minutes with a cover.
#3 Put sauce, mayo, nori, katsuobushi (dried bonito shavings). It's ready.

We ordered "Naniwa Mix Oozeki Yaki (なにわミックス大関焼) 880 yen" and "Torotama Takisoba(とろ玉焼きそば) 880 yen". They were so yummy~~!
