Japanese Box 'O Fun

Ashley and I swapped friendship boxes again. I sent her a couple warmers and wax and she sent more fun Japanese goodies that have me plotting and planning my trip to visit her in a fervor. 


Colorful and tasty tiny cups of bite sized gelatin. The girls gobbled these up in no time. The pelican was scooped up by Savanna tout de suite.


Pokemon curry? Sure! Why not? Straws that flavor your milk as you sip it? Fun!


I have not quite figured out the rice treats yet, but I am hoping the internet will aid me in this endeavor. The sakura packaged cracker assortment delighted me.


Soft Oreo filled with cherry blossom cream I believe? It was so rich and decadent, the filling had a raspberry liqueur flavor.


Tea pot shaped tea steeper and really cute decorative tape. 



This gets me excited for 100 Yen stores!

  2. Excited for your trip like Nancy. :) The gelatin cups look familiar, I think we got them from a Japanese restaurant near a friend's school with the check once upon a time. They are yum.

    3. Lol! I was just talking about that last night! It feels like an ephemeral dream still. I don't think it will solidify until I set foot in Japan :-) I miss you just as much!

    1. Hey Gil! When I get over there I will pick some up for you and mail them. They are like tiny one ounce shots of jello. Flavors like grape, melon and pineapple. Even some weirder undefinable flavors. Shoot me your addy, I am going mid-July. :-)
