Mochi mo ii (desu ne)
Fresh mochi with real strawberries in 'em from the Koshoji temple fair near Keitorin's place. It was a cold, miserable, rainy December day, but these mochi definitely made it a little more bearable!
Ariel, on How To Drink Ramune
When Ariel and I were in Osaka, which is one of the weirdest places on the planet, we ended up in a bizarre, garish "marketplace" with a store selling strange flavours of ramune. (Pronounce: rah-moo-nay)
We had to try the tako-yaki flavoured ramune, because:
a) what the heck
and
b) Ariel had never eaten tako-yaki.
The first step: breaking the seal. |

Basically this has been my lunch for the last week, and will be in the coming week as well!

More Mochi!
These recently appeared at my hyaku-en Lawson's. They're just plain little mochi balls, but the red bean inside is a tad sweeter, and the outside is covered in toasted sesame seeds.
They're small, but super-delicious. This is my current favourite after-work snack, although I have no idea of the calories, or even if it contains trace amounts of gluten. I suspect they're pretty clean, though.
