So windy, I thought we were in the midst of a typhoon.
Wednesday was Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day).
Huge jinchoge (daphne) bush (left) and jade plant (right) in front of someone's home.
I passed by this door and window shop and they had this homemade door made from all sorts of pieces of wood.
I bought us some sakura mochi from Okuniya for Girl's Day.
Dinner was sushi...I bought these temarizushi (balls of sushi).
You could see many dolls displayed here and there.
I love the fragrance of daphne, it is kind of strong like tuberose.
The "bumpy" looking one is made from Domyoji-ko and is Kansai style (West Japan).
The smooth looking one is Kanto style (East Japan).
I've written about this before here.
It looks like Tokyo's state of emergency will be extended since our numbers have not gone lower than 300.
The temperature has flip-flopped from very warm to very fahreezing.
Stay safe and have a nice weekend.
On girls day, I tried to go to Yamato Kansai at 99 Ranch in Mapunapuna. Big mistake. There must have been 10-12 people standing in line so I left and went to Minamoto Kitchoan at Ala Moana. No line but kind of expensive and really tiny so I could only get a box of 6 but they did give a free one as a promotion. I like their Kanto style, almost like bota mochi with the rice grains still formed and just love the salty sweet taste.

Looks good Kat. Hope the weather stabilizes.
ReplyDeleteflip-flopping numbers too eh? I think they'll put us on red alert soon; there is just no way out of it.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too Kirk!
ReplyDeleteyeah Rowena, I don't think we can get our numbers down any lower...
Take care you two.
