Caught this butterfly, Nagasaki Ageha or Papilio memnon while I was walking.
Usually butterflies are way to quick, but this one was mesmerized with a candy wrapper or something, so I had a pretty good chance to get a picture of it.
In Hawaii, big black moths are not good omens, but in Japan, these black butterflies are huge, quite common and not thought to be good or bad omens.
Some doughnuts from Shichifuku.
These doughnuts were made with soy milk and were fried in menjitsuyu (cotton seed oil).
Caramel & Earl Grey.
Too bad these tasted like oil rather than doughnuts.
Momiji Bakery's chocolate danish. I liked that this was topped with a lot of chocolate chips.
More food than sights on my walks this time around...what have you been seeing on your walks?
i ate the soya bean doughnuts in Kyoto and my it taste so out of this world and soft plus the queue is endless :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool butterfly. Thanks for giving the name so that I could look it up in Wikipedia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful butterfly! I haven't seen anything like that in Hawai'i or anywhere else. Will have to look more carefully next time I am home :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool butterfly and the chocolate Danish looks amazing. The chocolate chips on top would be the clincher for me.

Another yummy food today. The danish looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI like that chocolate danish and how it has powdered sugar all over. One, two, three INHALE!

So cool you were able to get the butterfly shot. I had no idea the black months were a bad omen here.

Not to freak you out Deb in Hawaii, but if you see one on your screen door or something, it is a bad omen that someone may die or get hurt.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
