This one should be cool: Black pine bonsai! Probably wait on starting this – don’t want it to falter over the holidays. Given my aloes are finally kicking the bucket, this’ll be a nice change.
Advent Calendar, Day 6
Not a lick of Japanese or any non-English text on these. The side of a pack encourages me to “Stay active, eat Hi-Chew!” Tried one of the strawberry ones. A bit like a starburst, but lasts a tad longer.
Advent Calendar, Day 5
Lychee flavored hard candy. Generic fruit taste, with a smell of flowers. The first one was bleh, but I tried another, and could get used to them.
Advent Calendar, Day 4
Drumroll please… Strawberry cheesecake kit-kats! I’m looking forward to finding some funky kit-kat flavors in Japan – guess I get to start early. And whoa: Funky pale yellow! I get the cheesecake taste, but my wife was right – the strawberry is more in the nose than on the tongue.
Advent Calendar, Day 3
Another light package, this time with: Strawberry pocky! Nothing too surprising here. I love the dark chocolate stuff, but this is pretty good too.
