Omiyage!

The trip was fun.  The trip was tiring.  10-hour plane ride going.  I no can handle.  But it was a success 'cause I got lots of omiyage, and as usual I'm having a giveaway!

On the left is a fave mochi treat of mine.  It's a 5 pack.  Each pack has mochi, kinako and a bit of syrup that you pour over.  So good.  Next to it is a Guiness World Record setting manju which set a world record for most sales of bean paste-filled confectionary in a calendar year.  You can read about it here.

To enter the giveaway just leave a comment here or email me at JalnaA@aol.com.  Maybe instead of Wendell, Kai will pick the winner this time.  I'll announce the winner in one week on June 6.

Wow! Did you buy the mochi at a supermarket? Anyway, glad you had fun! I went in March and going to Fukuoka/Hiroshima…and some other places in Oct. so don’t enter my name. I know what you mean by long flights! I don’t go state side for that reason but Asian countries are just a few hours from here.

Score. I’m on the 10 hour flight right now to Fukuoka. HAL starlink is awesome. Going to get my own omitted haul.

10 hours? OMG! Thank goodness our flight was 8 hours to Narita. And that was too long for me.
