Natori Bite Size Beef Cubes

Last week a reader was nice enough to contact me as she and her family were visiting Japan. We had some exchanges about foods that she found interesting. One of the foods she liked was in the same series as this product. She said the texture and flavor were excellent. The version pictured is Japanese steak sauce flavored. Looks good.

Haagen Dazs Vanilla Pudding

Vanilla from Madagascar is added to custard to provide vanilla pudding. When this is combined with ice cream and then topped with a bit of caramel sauce you have a pretty appealing offering. バニラプディング

Photo - Sake Tasting Goriki

Went to a sake tasting today at the Sake Plaza near Shimbashi Station as advertised by The Tokyo Sake Meetup Group. There must have been 150 or so sake varieties to try for 1,000 yen. Wonderful time. This Goriki 強力 sake from Tottori Prefecture was very nice.
