Around Tokyo Disney

Last month Jenny and I went to Tokyo Disneyland for the first time! It was really fun and all decorated for Christmas. We took a lot of pictures, so the first round is just scenic shots of Disney. Enjoy!

Christmas Dances

Moribana

This was definitely a tough arrangement. And I cant lie- this final product is nothing like the one that I presented to my teacher. She definitely did a lot of rearranging. But the finished product is lovely. Although I wish that there were more red from the roses.

Thanksgiving

Well, this year we had two Thanksgiving celebrations! Unfortunately, only one of them featured turkey. Fortunately, one of them featured turkey!! I cannot even remember the last time that I ate turkey and it was just as delicious as I remember. The above photos are from our Kasugai Thanksgiving celebration. We have a small get-together to share Thanksgiving traditions with some of our Japanese friends. It was a small group this year, but we all had fun together!

The second half of pictures are the photos from our Thanksgiving dinner at the Kubos. Start from the glamour shot of the chocolate pie. Credit goes to Jenny for pretty much all of the pictures. I am such a photographic slacker. Jenny really likes taking pictures of food if you don’t realize it just by looking at all the pictures.

Even More Kit Kats

I didn’t think it was possible, but there are even more flavors of Kit Kats available this fall. The three latest ones are banana, kinako, and ginger ale.

Now, the banana flavor is, by far, the most delicious. How can you go wrong when you mix banana and chocolate?

Kinako is a kind of flour. I have no idea what the name is in English. It’s just one of those foods that I only eat in Japan, so I only know the Japanese name. The flavor was very subtle. I felt like I was eating mochi instead of kinako. But I guess that kinako does kind of taste like mochi. It was pretty good.

And last was ginger ale. This one was really strange. It was trying to achieve ginger ale status, but it just fell flat. You know how candy watermelon tastes nothing at all like real watermelon, but you like it anyway? The same is true here, except that I didn’t like it at all. It was trying too hard to be something it’s clearly not. Oh well.

Corn Soup Doritos

Yep, the latest addition to the Gourmet Doritos line has arrived: Corn Soup flavor. And they taste exactly like corn soup, which makes them super yummy since I love corn soup! Jen also enjoyed them. This bag is definitely worth buying again. Thumbs up!

Yummy Kit Kats

 

Kit Kats in Japan have all kinds of crazy flavors- sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes just plain weird. Luckily, this season there’s at least one good flavor. These are cafe latte Kit Kats and they taste completely delicious! I really think I could eat a whole bag of them in one sitting, considering how much I love coffee and everything coffee-related. Try them if you’re in the country. They are my fall candy recommendation.
