Even better if you can find: Winter Pokky. Only available from November until it runs our around early Feb. It has a dusting of cocoa, and it almost tastes a bit of honey.
Is this sake particularly sweet or easy to drink?? I always pickup a couple of these If I see them. I think you can get them at Lawson. https://www.beerbeerbeer.jp/the-craft/boku-beer-kimi-beer-for-you-me-beer-by-yo-ho-brewery
These are great. Cant get 185ml here. I don't normally drink red bull, but one of these is small enough to stomach and replace my morning coffee.
The average alc/vol of sake is 15 - 16%. Mio is only 5%, so Mio's alc/vol is as low as beer. Plus, I think the balance of sweetness and sourness is very good, so a lot of people who usually don't drink sake enjoy drinking the sake Mio/澪.
Some Lawson have Nest Beers. There is a train line between Mito = the capital of Ibaraki Pref and Fukushima Pref, where there are ski resorts I often go. The Kiuchi Brewery is along the train line, so it's not only yummy but also something more special craft beer for me. About the Kiuchi Brewery and Nest Beer:http://www.kodawari.cc/?en_home.html
Rummy chocolate and the red bean cakes! The best. Not there until next week so cant post a pic...mmm cant wait...
Will have to bring a few bottles of this home, the scope for practical jokes is immense http://www.theaustralian.com.au/bus...n/news-story/4b0a99caf7f8cf6dabce6cb89f6eb8e4 For those without a subscription to The Australian, the headline is revealing: Coca-Cola Plus adds laxative for health tick in Japan
Hai, totemo oishii. Totemo = very. The picture of Lawson's Double Cheese Cake I post above is the second generation one. Lawson is selling the third generation one now and it looks like this.
Kantsuma / 缶つま = a brand of expensive canned foods with beer, sake or chuhai at hotel as "second dinner". I mean, it gets dark around 4:30pm in winter, so we tend to have dinner early, and we sometimes get a bit hungry around 11pm at hotel. 缶つま is very delicious and it can be even better dinner than restaurants sometimes. 缶つま has 50 or even more different foods, but most Konbini has only 10 or so, I think.
I've become a combini snob the last few trips. Most of the supermarkets have a better selection that's a lot cheaper and if you have a car you can drive there anyway.
What?!?! I **think** that would be awesome, especially when you're starving after a big day in the japow. Low GI is that's your thing, too! Which particular supermarket are these from?
I’m sure they would be. But I’ve never seen them off a truck. Even so, the ones I have had are amazing! I’m a sweet potato fan, and a fruit and veg company owner - so I’ve had some good sweet potato in the past. These are next level. ...and @billykate You’ll find them on a little hot rocks stand in the middle of the veggie department at both Co-Op and Lucky Supermarkets in Kutchan. You’ll smell them before you see them. But they are often sold out. I had one for lunch yesterday. Just that. Was good. Was happy.
Yaki Imo is a thing in central Japan. You see the kei trucks alot . They'll usually have some form of bad music, or flags . Its the Japanese winter Mr Whippy. The fact they have a lit fire on the back of a 660cc truck? No worries
Oh my God I could live on buttered corn cob and the toasted sweet potato.. Pickled Mackerel sashimi would be high on the ‘if I could only have 5 foods for the rest of my life’ list too.
A boiled sweet potato has a low GI of 44, but if baked for 45 minutes, the same sweet potato has a GI of 94. These dramatic differences come from the way the starches in sweet potatoes gelatinise during cooking. Foods that turn viscous, or jelly-like, in the digestive tract have a lower GI because the gelatinous starches slow the release of the nutrients in the food. Baking sweet potatoes instead of boiling or steaming, changes the quality of their starches and transforms sweet potato from a moderate-GI food to a high GI-food. Personally, after skiing, it's ok to get a hit of that high GI, because your muscles need a big recharge of glycogen.
