  • I discovered mochi for the first time while in Singapore. I’ve even had an ice cream mochi. The stuff is good. I can’t eat more than a few pieces at a time though. If I do the taste isn’t as… exciting I guess. Definitely can’t overdo it.

  • Saw people making it at a Jp school fair.
    The cook was apparently a good one from a japanese restaurant.

    They did hit the stuff really hard! Funny!

  • RT @tweetmeme Pachinko Store, Japan Living | Shibuya246 http://bit.ly/4zBLHj I’ve never had mochi before looks good though. Is this pachiko parlar near center gai? It looks like the area, even though I’ve nerver been there, I feel like I have. With all the health risks they don’t seem to be concerned, ex; not wearing gloves on the hands or the wearing of hair nets while preparing food stuffs. Do they have those kinds of regulations there in Japan?
    On another subject, when I log in the dropdown doesn’t stay on the screen because I use a program called TypeItIn, I have to do it manually. Also when I log in my avatar doesn’t show up, have to refresh the page to make it appear. Could you check on that? Thanks,
    Have a great week
