la boulange asano

There are so many bakeries in Japan.

I hadn't heard of La Boulange Asano, but as we walked to MIL after lunch, we picked up a few items for breakfast.

I love trying different bakeries sakura anpan...this one had koshian (smooth sweet bean paste) with sakura leaves worked in.

The outer bread had sakura leaves and a salted sakura flower on top.

Satoshi had their garlic baguette and MIL had their regular anpan.

I'm glad we tried them and will be back whenever we are in the area.

BIL gave MIL another kokedama (moss ball) with momo (peach) blossoms for her birthday...so pretty!

omigosh what a gorgeous kokedama!!! I made one because there was a lot of moss growing around the year but it's kinda uhm, ugly; will post eventually though.

I can imagine Kirk!

ah Rowena, hope yours is still growing :)

V, it usually dies. The one she got awhile back did.

Take care everyone.
