Food snacks
I was fascinated when I saw the above product in a convenience store … a quick check appeared to mention sheep! Back home I used google translate and came up with some very funny translations – ‘This is sheep playing Protect’, ‘Main sheep building preservation’, and ‘This hated sheep yellow existence’. The ingredients were much less interesting; red bean starch syrup & agar. So no sheep connection; not even mint sauce!
I thought you needed a KitKat update. Digestive biscuit KitKats are good & do indeed taste of digestive biscuits. But undoubtedly my favourite KitKat so far is the Coffee Affogato with a good depth of coffee flavour. But I was a little shocked to find that the individual pieces are not wrapped. Not very Japanese!
I recently read an article about plastic waste and was amazed that Japan was only 5th in the world for kgs of single use plastic waste per person in 2019 (Running order was Australia, US, South Korea, UK then Japan). I have never seen so much plastic wrap on food products as there is in Japan.
No chance of ruining the lovely drip coffee with dairy …. this is the portion supplied. Fortunately I like my coffee black!
It amuses me to see a pizza chain getting in on the act of the lunch time trade of selling bento boxes outside their restaurants. It don’t think it looks too appealing though.
