Sashimi
Ootoro
Kumamoto oysters
Beard Papa
I could live here! It's like the perfect Japanese supermarket, there's fresh sashimi, live seafood, oysters, cooked foods like grilled black cod, tempura everything, and so on. Oh, and Beard Papa cream puffs. There's no other cartoon mug of a man that excites me more than his. It sounds just slightly pathetic, since it's not that uncommon back home. But even then, I have to have one every time I pass a Beard Papa outlet. Tastes pretty much the same too. I shared one this time, and thought back when I could scarf down half a dozen in a day- I'll have a vanilla, then a chocolate, and then decide I like vanilla better. Haha. Oh here they list the caloric value. I'm actually surprised it's only 220 calories each. Almost makes me want to have another. And there was a nice security guard guy standing next to Beard Papa who offered me a packet of soy sauce after I opened my box of sashimi. Thank you sir, I only stopped short of the next step because I didn't know where to pour the soy sauce since the tray was covered by shrink wrap and not the usual clear plastic lid. The guard also watched shopping carts for ladies who were shopping alone. How sweet! Wished I had more time to hang out at Uwajimaya, there's Kinokuniya in there too, and it would have been nice to just idly wander the aisles and ogle at kawaii japanese stationery. Ahhh.. being in such a place just restores a sense of balance and equilibrium within me.
