When I was in Hawaii, I saw many bakeries and stores selling mooncake, getting ready for the Moon Festival, which I think starts today.
Anyway, in Hawaii, the price for one was kinda shocking...US$4 or $5?!
I found one here at the supermarket and apparently they have this all year round.
It was a little smaller than the ones I saw in Hawaii and this one was only 69 yen!
The price was a little more too at 115 yen.
The inside seemed like the same type of filling with the sweet bean paste and walnuts.
I don't think we'll be able to see the moon tonight because there is supposed to be a typhoon approaching, so if you can see the moon where you are, enjoy it!

Take care in the typhoon! It hit us here in Okinawa HARD! Although I am sure that it has died down a bit. But the moon is beautiful here tonight! Gorgeous! By the way thanks for your blog! I love reading it! =)
Thanks Knudsens!
Hope all is well in Okinawa.
Take care.

I remember the bigs ones that you can find in Hawaii, but never remembered the price then. No moon at ours since it gets cloudy at night, and hope the typhoon doesn't cause too much trouble!
Rowena, we had lots of debris (leaves, branches), but nothing really major, thank goodness.
Take care.
