Yamazaki Crown Melon Cream Lunch Pack

A new Yamazaki Lunch Pack variety uses Crown Melons, which is a famous brand of muskmelon from Shizuoka prefecture. I just looked on the internet and they appear to go from 30 to 60 dollars a piece, but I think they can probably be found for much more. In any case, this set contains one Crown Melon cream sandwich and one whip cream sandwich and is categorized as part of their sweet series. ヤマザキ クラウンメロンクリーム

Calpis Mango Flavored Tapioca Pearl Drink

This is a variant on what is known as pearl milk tea, bubble tea or boba milk tea in the US, and which originated in Taiwan. This product is a mango Calpis drink line extension, packaged and distributed under the Elbee brand, the Asahi company which handles paper packaging. The "bubbles" are tapioca flavored konjac balls which are chewy, fun to eat and provide a certain sense of fullness. エルビー アサヒ タピオカ カルピス
