Osaka and Melbourne became sister cities in 1978, which was our towns first sister-city relationship. So I probably shouldn’t have been surprised to stumble across Melbourne House restaurant in downtown Osaka (right next to the Aquarium and Ferris Wheel). Specialities of the house included Australian Beef, and they even had VB! Impressive.
On a side note, be sure to catch the fantastic Kimono Exhibition at the Immigration Museum, which is part of the 30th anniversary of the sister-city milestone. It’s on till September 14th.
Really?! I didn’t know that. About the sister cities, I mean. I know Canberra has a sister city, but I never cared enough about our national capital to remember.
I want to get to that Kimono Exhibition. Maybe next weekend.
