After getting a temperature of almost 39c, I decided to send Rilakkuma out to pick up some supplies. Since we have a Typhoon coming in as well, the local convenience store seemed the perfect place to visit, not too far and lots of choices.
All good foods to help me recover from a bad throat.

its great to get conbini monday on a sunday night…ah america
yes, its hard to decide whether to pitch the conbini monday to Japan or US time. I try to get it out after lunch in Japan where possible. 🙂
looks delicious. Especially the Ochazuke. What are those bean – like yellow things on top of the rice.
Those are あられ, arare、sort of like the stuff that osenbei is made of.

You must have posted the conbini article after I went to bed, and that was at Midnight, central time.
sorry to hear about the fever. In your other article, I had to look up the word febrill, never heard that word before. But it’s good that you have trusty Rilakkuma to help you out. 🙂 Great stuff he picked out, just the right things to make you feel better. He’s truely a great friend. I know you”ll get much better with his help, Take care.
Btw ken leewrites in his article http://tinyurl.com/mr73ww Kirin makes autumn flavored beer, wonder what that tastes like?
Those beers look really interesting, but I probably not in the ber drinking mood right now. Thanks for link. 🙂 I didnt know what febrile was either, but figured from the Japanese that was me.
Ah – those are ochazukes…. i was wondering what those were. Im still learning hiragana here n there, and couldnt recognize the first character. Out of curiosity – do you mix the content of the package with hot tea? or just hot water?
I have tried that brand of ochazuke in Seattle, they sell it at Uwajimaya. I like the umeboshi flavor!
