things I'm liking (and disliking)

Things I'm liking...this box of juice from Kagome, the label says that they only use fruits and veggies no sugar added.

Delicious and bright tasting like the package.

The fragrance from the goya (bitter melon) flowers. It smells like citrus.

Though if you ask Satoshi (his nose isn't too good), he'll tell you it smells like cooked rice...WT?

Tropicana's seasonal juice, the fig on the box caught my eye. Good but unfortunately you can only taste grape and apple juice, figures because fig is like the 5th ingredient.

Maybe that is why it is so small on the box too?? hmmm

Enjoying a new tea called Ruschka by Mariage Frères. Black tea based, this is similar to Earl Grey with hints of bergamot and fruits.

The salesman at their shop in Kobe was so helpful and he let me take whiffs of the different teas...heavenly.

I loved their wide selection at Kobe BAL too, definitely more teas than the shop in Shinsaibashi Daimaru.

I have some other teas on my "wish list"...but they'll have to wait until I finish the teas that I have.

Koln's cinnamon roll. So soft and the glaze is the perfect sweetness. And went nicely with a strong cup of coffee.

Koln's curry bread. A butter roll filled with curry and a whole boiled egg, little dollop of mayo and pepper.

More egg than curry or bread but delicious all the same.

Didn't care too much for Samuel Adams Boston Lager, seemed a bit watery to me.

On the other hand, did like Paulaner's Hefe-Weiss Naturtrub beer.

Fruity easy to drink but not watery.

Went nicely with brats and sauerkraut for our Oktoberfest dinner.

Lawson's chocolate macaron, only 150 yen (about US$1.50) and it is HUGE, about 3 inches across.

It was chewy like a brownie and the chocolate cream inside had some raspberry flavoring.

This "new" glass cup and saucer from MIL. She let me go through some of her cabinets and take whatever I could carry home.

This cup is a little small but still perfect for an afternoon coffee or tea.

Javana's Speculoos tea with a splash of milk.

Lately, I have been using some of the Wedgewood that we received when we got married, I figure why save it for something special when it can make you feel special everyday.

What are you liking?
