Bamboo Display

Found this bamboo display in front of the Tenpara cineplex.



I assume they're the real thing, and that the roots get watered somehow.
Some people consider bamboo shoots to be a delicacy. Food for thought.

Baku Baku

Found this clinic recently. Seems to be for senior care.

Nezuko no Choco

Demon Sword snacks and candies have been really big around here for the last year or so, but this one is new to me. It's a puffed something (rice?) with chocolate, capped with green tea-flavored chocolate. I found this at a supermarket, along with some other, slightly more expensive cookie wafers and candy. About 120 yen ($1.10 USD). The bar is fairly dense, and not that bad. Comes with a tiny paper bookmark.



It's only 3 segments long, so I'm not going to waste money on this one again any time in the near future.



Only 2" long. Careful, tears easily.

Raspberry Kitkat

Donkey has several different flavors of mini Kitkat bags available for 210 yen each ($2 USD). I already wrote about the All-grain Biscuit one. Here we have raspberry.



It's ok. All of these flavors are kind of waxy, and the intended flavors don't stand out anywhere near as much as they do on the smell. There is a slight candy raspberry flavor, but it doesn't linger long. The only other flavor I haven't gotten recently is Matcha (green tea), which I did try a few years ago. Not worth getting again. Give me the regular chocolate ones.

How Do You Say Seahorse?

I went by the Aeon English school again, and they changed their sign from the angler fish to Tatsunootoshigo (literally, "dragon dropping child").

Unfood

I suspected as much.

Osouji Rangers

"Osouji" means "house cleaning." Hence the mecha-cleaner artwork.



A sucky job that doesn't suck.
