Experience of the stay
I was looking for a hotel with a large public bath and found Intergate.
Upon arriving at around 6:30 PM, I was welcomed with chilled white and sparkling wine and prosciutto in the lounge. After wandering around the streets of Umeda, I was tired, so I enjoyed a refreshing drink... it was perfectly chilled, and it blew away my fatigue.
Since I had a late lunch, I was pondering what to do for dinner, but decided to sweat it out in the large public bath first!
There were so many types of shampoo and conditioner, which is always nice for us girls.
I relaxed in the free massage chair, and when I returned to my room, I was just in time to feel a bit peckish, so I headed to the ochazuke buffet. (Be careful not to go in your room wear and slippers!)
Feeling satisfied, I decided to skip the evening stroll and spent a relaxing time in my room.
The bed was just right, and I could sleep soundly! The staff provided attentive service, and I would love to use it again.
Experiences during the trip
The purpose of my trip was to attend a ‘sawara cooking class’ while also taking care of some work.
I learned how to make sawara dishes at ‘Nakagawa-Sanchi’s Fermented Rice Cooking School’ in Toyonaka, Osaka, and savored the exquisite flavors. It was fantastic! The sawara eggs had a rich umami flavor that reminded me of a mix between sea urchin and ikura.
It was definitely worth flying in from Tokyo!
