Photo - Lotte Train Trading Cards



This is a pack of train trading cards I bought in a shinkansen train line station. The pack cost 100 yen and contained one card and ramune flavored candy. The train pictured on this card is the Kodama train on the Sanyo Shinkansen line between Shin-Osaka and Hakata.

Sort of pricey at 800 yen, but this KitKat Shinkansen set of 4 boxes makes for a nice gift. I bought this along the Tokaido Shinkansen line and it features four of the most well-known stops: Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Shin-Osaka.

This is a poster which is currently being displayed in Tokyo Station which features famous foods from Aomori Prefecture. There are lots of interesting items here I should follow up on.

Photo - McDonald's Magnet Size

The magnets McDonald's is giving away with large sets are pretty big. Here one is next to a Big Cheese Rich Cheese sandwich.

Photo - Vinegar Flavor Soft Serve Ice Cream

I saw this in Tokyo Station. Not sure what fruit is used for the vinegary sauce, but the ice cream has a yogurty cheese taste (according to the poster).

Very good, actually.

Photo - Caffe Veloce Caramel au lait



Not bad, but I usually regret ordering caramel because it is always too sweet.

Haagen Dazs Rum Raisin
