Oh my, they look too cute to eat! At JPY55 each, they are reasonably priced too especially with the JPY having plunged some 20% in the last few months. At today's exchange rate, about 66c or so.
However, you took the photo in 2009. Price is probably higher now. :(
Which city in Japan did you see these? I have never seen them before. :)
haha So cute, ok I am going Japan next month - will be looking out for these cute snacks in the supermarkets and will take pics and post here ... or just email you! :)
It is a good time to visit Japan what with the JPY so much cheaper compared to a year ago. Good on you. :)
If you provide a link to your photos in the comments section here, I will definitely go take a look.
If you would like to email a few photos to me, see if you could minimise their size to 50KB per photo. I will gladly put them up here to share with other readers.
Yes sir noted about file size ! Yup timed to enjoy cherry blossoms - keeping fingers n toes crossed that its bloom time. Like for all things beautiful one can't time it :)) cheers
Hey ! This looks so similar to the pork buns at my local supermarket when I was working in Japan :

Hello Mr AK41,
ReplyDeleteI agree, those piggies are too cute to be eaten !
This was at the supermarket near my house in Tanashi in West Tokyo, a suburban area. :]
Hi blauereiter,
ReplyDeleteAh, in the suburbs. Actually, there are many surprises to be found in the suburbs.
OK, I will make a mental note. Thanks. :)
