Unfortunately I don't have oodles of pictures of this, but I have to say their book stores are pretty quality. They wrap your books ( even small paperbacks) in craft type paper with their logo for free if you wish it. It's like having fries or no fries with your meal :) I loved it. It stays on very well the way they fold it on your book. I did notice a lot of Japanese also buy cloth covers and use them quite regularly on their books to keep them nice. Doesn't matter if it's a natty little paperback, it gets royal treatment. I loved that! And the book wrappers were fast. When I go again, I hope I can use Jess as shield to camcorder them doing it haha :) Here's a picture of one of the awesome books I saw. I bought an artbook at that store.. it was just too awesome.. I kinda wished I could get this one too!!
Hello!! I decided to try and liven things up with more Japan pictures.. I have a ton of these so I think I could do this for a while! I decided to go for some fancy treats! One being waffle store and the other being traditional fish snack.. If you are not a fish lover, I can manage your face crinkling up in disgust! But really I'm talking about Taiyaki. Taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake filled with red bean paste or other goodies... I definitely remember munching on a custard filled cake. I can't remember if I simply pointed or struggled with some katakana.. Or heard someone order custard and used the same words to order mine. Regardless I ordered one. It was hot and fresh and delicious. I was feeling kinda chilled and tired from walking a lot. I couldn't settle on anything to eat.. and a gentleman was passing out free samples..I scooched over to the window and stared creepily into it while a lady made Taiyaki and observed people ordering. Ever heard that saying? When in Rome, do what the Romans do? Same thing here. If you aren't extremely well with Japanese language, you might be able to grasp by seeing and then doing. Of course I have some photos so you don't have to read me blathering on about food haha:) Oh I blurred out the sample guy's face, because he was giving out samples, not trying to pose or anything ;p This place made them on large griddles specially shaped as fish, no machines, even though it looks like it. It's like a turnable waffle maker :) The cakes are actually waffle like, but very thin crispy shell with heavy filling inside. I love the golden flaky crunch paired with custard.
