Yummy Seasonal Stuff

So, in Japan they love love love having seasonal stuff. With the change of seasons comes all kinds of new products (of course I am referring mainly to food here). Go to any conbini right around now and you will find tons of new “limited time” winter treats. There is limited time sparkling cider (mmmm!!!), limited time Kit-Kats, limited time winter-y chocolates, etc. etc. Now normally Jeffrey doesn’t like change and would want the same yummy treats to be available all year-round. However, for some reason it is okay in Japan!

Two winter things that you MUST HAVE if you are in Japan are:



Strawberry daifuku! HOLY SHIT, they are so good. I had my doubts last year, but they are the most amazing things EVER! So, normal daifuku are mochi (rice cake) with azuki bean paste in the middle. It is sweet and YUMMY. However, strawberry daifuku are 300 times better! The mochi is somewhat strawberry-flavored AND there is a strawberry in the middle with the bean paste! IT IS SO GOOD!!!!!! They just came out this week and I have already had three. MMMM!


This is new this year...white chocolate and pistachios combined into one orgasmic cube of delight! Hello, could there be a better, fattier combination?!

I don’t have a picture of it, but fukahire man (shark fin Chinese-style dumplings) from Ministop are the shit, too! YAY limited time oishii stuff!!!
