McDonald's Aussie Deli Better Photo‏

Here is a better photo of the Aussie Deli which is also available on the breakfast menu. The sauce on top of the pastrami is described as a mix of a mustard sauce and a vegetable sauce, which does not look right. It looks like apple sauce, but is not. I tried the sandwich and it was good, but still cannot accurately describe the sauce.

Mizakiya Amazake

This is one of the best amazake (sweet sake) brands that I have tried recently, but I cannot find a website for the company 三崎屋醸造. This product sells at a pretty nice premium, about 370 per bag (which makes 1, 2 or 3 servings). I bet they could enhance sales with the media consultant.

Kankoromochi かんころ餅 or 甘古呂餅 is a variety of mochi (餅 rice steamed and pounded into a cake) which contains sweet potatoes サツマイモ or 薩摩芋.

Japanese like to barbecue, but they arrangement of food does look a bit different. Here is an example, corn, beef strips, pumpkin, cabbage, wieners (mild taste) and onigiri (rice balls).
