After our usual eye shopping deal at Southcoast, headed over to Mitsuwa for some white bread, where we were unexpectedly greeted with some amazing goodies:
Ijinkan Maki: “a delicate dessert of soft mochi and red bean paste wrapped with thin Japanese pancake”
Ahhh so good!! Only if it was a bit less pricey- paid $7 for 4 pieces (!!!)
Okonomiyaki: a Japanese version of pancake; made with flour, eggs, cabbage, and various toppings (my fav is octopus!) $5 a piece- it’s actually very easy to make, so decided to skip.
Desserts- no idea how they taste- has anyone tried them?
More goodies… Not sure what’s in them; Korean versions usually come with chestnut or red bean fillings.
Japanese sweets- If I had stayed in the aisle for another minute, I would have grabbed something… glad we were able to escape in a timely manner.
Love the way Japanese chocolate tastes… It has its own unique taste… not too rich, not too sweet… and better yet, they have a special talent of turning everything good with chocolate! Above is a good example… usual corn snack covered in Japanese chocolate- completely melts in mouth… mmmmm~~
If you are in town this weekend, be sure to stop by Mitsuwa for an introduction to Japanese snacks.
ABOUT
I write about various topics ranging from fashion to psychology. The reason why you will find me ramble about Psychology is because that's where my educational background is (I have a Masters in Psych & Bachelors in Marketing). I'm interested in many aspects of life and am a lifetime learner. I see everyday as a learning opportunity and constantly seek for personal improvement. My love for fashion lead to sharing great finds from Korea, which can be found on "Tomimito Shop" page on this website. When I can find the time, I make Youtube videos on fashion tips and Korean food recipes. During the day, I do research for a company that makes and sells cars worldwide.
