Everywhere you go in Japan, there were stores selling some sweet items, tons of it. Some stores were even selling identical ones. Go to the basement of any department store and for surely, you will see tons of stores selling all types of sweets, cakes, mochi, pretzels, chocolates and more. One can be so amazed at what they have to sell and the amount of people willing to buy.

Even found a pretzel named Elise, that’s my other name. My groupmates in UP call me this, since we were two Juns in the group, they changed our names to Elise and Zoi. Right Patty, Tracey, Riza? And yah, I took a picture of it.
Heard of Green Tea Flavored Kit – Kat, the wafers are encased in a green tea flavored white chocolate – bitter and sweet – right blend and it really is different but here is another surprise – soy sauce flavored…..and a lot more. There were different ice cream flavors that were available everywhere, green tea, azuki bean and even cherry blossom as I discussed in my other posts. Got to taste this beautiful shaped, very sweet candies that is eaten during a Japanese tea ceremony.

The packaging of all Japanese products is something else, they really think about it and even the way they wrapped it just before it is given to you is done with so much art in it.
My favorite Japanese barquillos Yoku Moku I also found….when mom and dad were still around, they had Japanesese friends who would give these to us and I found it again after more ten years — comfort food — made me remember mom and dad who I know are so happy that we got to travel again as a complete family — all 12 of us….saya, sarap, lamig, and ang mahal sa Japan!
