Here are some pics:

| Canned food and pasta is nearly gone. A few sticks of soba and the more expensive canned fish is left. Canned fruit is all gone except pineapple (no one likes pineapple?) and the giant cans you need a can-opener for (this is pretty rare in Japan). There are also some plastic packs of aloe. No mikan! And that's what I wanted to eat tonight. D: |
 |
| This was flashlights and batteries. You're set for batteries if you need small ones, but all D batteries are gone. |
 |
| Rice. Wow. Now, for context, there are hundreds of kilos of rice behind me and to my right - so many that when I was walking into Jusco, I thought "whatever, there's loads of rice left, people are so exaggerating". Then I saw this shelf. I've never seen it this empty. It's mostly the mid-sized 1-5kg bags that are going. Loads of 10kg bags left. |
 |
| Instant noodle aisle. It's normally a little thin at night with all the university students grabbing cheap meals, but usually at most there will be one row out. This is really crazy - I stopped dead for a second when I saw it. Dunno why people are stockpiling these though - they take up a lot of space in your kit, have very few calories, and are high in sodium. Three no-nos for a survival kit. Plus you have to cook them. |
