Cold beer with hot food in rainy season

Yet another Monday. I got no external pressure to work a long hour, nor I did not have will to work extra hard. So I ended up with cold beer in early evening at standing bar.

When it comes to standing bar, I think Osaka has more in number and quality than in Kyoto. But I don't have energy to go to Osaka on weekday just to have a quick drink. So I went to standing bar near Kyoto station, named Hyotan.

What I took was Oden. The items I chose was egg, daikon(Japanese radish), chikuwa(a tube‐shaped fish paste cake). These are my favorite items of Oden. Oden is usually served in cold winter season. Almost every convenience store serves Oden in winter season, from October to March. But Oden is good even in hot season.

It did not rain today again. But in a couple of days, typhoon would come to Kansai area. Rainy season may have finally come. No rain in rainy season is really bad for fresh water supply and rice harvest.
