Roses from Satoshi for Ii Fufu no Hi

Found an interesting soup in the vending machine, though I'm not brave enough to try it...kani zosui (crab rice porridge)

Moon set Monday morning

you may or may not know all the scandal surrounding Johnny's, a very popular talent agency that recently changed their name to Smile-Up and closed their souvenir shop.

I saw a small crowd of ladies when I went to get some groceries, they were standing in line to purchase their favorite Johnny's group's souvenirs.

As I was coming back, the crowd was even larger!

Standard Products is the name of the higher end store of Daiso

They apparently sell a lot of household stuff and have been compared with Nitori (another houseware store)

Looking forward to seeing what things will be sold at their Kamata store.

This lemony dressing was so delicious on this chicken salad.

I thought the lemon was the yellow bits but that was actually grated egg yolk.

 

This snack mix so ono! I bought one for V too, hope she enjoys this too

There is big kakinotane, really spicy kakinotane, ume flavored kakinotane & peanuts

Bought a black cat bag because it reminded me of my furry niece.

life hack: while riding the train, saw a woman do this.

it was quite warm on this day and she didn't want to carry around her down jacket...she had the pouch that comes with the uniqlo jacket with her, rolled up the jacket and put it into the pouch.

thought that was so smart so I copied her life hack.

When not in use, attach the pouch on the loop inside the jacket then tuck the pouch in the inner pocket 

Tokyo People: electric scooter...these look scary!

fat tire bicycle uber eats

Lunch with V & A on their last day in Japan...Bincho Hitsumabushi

Before lunch, we went to the Yamagata antenna shop...bought some yukari (dried red shiso) made in Yamagata.
