Dalwhinnie

Ah, Dalwhinnie. So many reasons why you are my favorite restaurant in Koga.
1. You are an okonomiyaki restaurant, and okonomiyaki is my favorite Japanese food.
2. You are so cheap, so so so cheap.
3. You always give me 10% off coupons, which makes you even cheaper.
4. You gave me a Dalwhinnie coffee mug the last time I ate at there.
5. Tonight, when I met up with some of my Japanese friends (Miyuki, Bun-chan, Masako, Naruda-san--from Heartful), you had some crazy lottery going and every time I ordered a beer I got to pick a ticket out of a box to see what prize I won. And the prizes I won: a cool martini glass, a grapefruit juicer, a beanie, and some weird food (the last two were given to me by Naruda-san; I only had two beers tonight cuz it's a school night).
6. I get to feel like a regular when I go.
7. I can walk there from my house.
8. You have weird horse masks in the back that I will one day wear, when I get enough courage and beer in me.
9. You have fun, kiddy drinking games to play.
10. You serve awesome beer snacks (and this is quite a rarity in Japan): buttery puffs and nuts and corn nuts.

I had a Dalwhinnie mug in my old Sanwa apartment when I moved in, but thought (from the logo) that it was some kind of mid-west US real estate agency or something.

Never made it to the restaurant in Koga. Damn shame by the sounds of it too - I LOVE お好み焼き!
