Our friends came back from a trip recently and brought back some tasty treats from Narita, Japan!

Juice box sake

Yes, this is Japanese sake in a juice box!  It was actually pretty good sake and super strong.  AM and I had to share one box.  Leave it up to the Japanese to come up with an ingenious way to carry sake around.

Mochi box

The box of mochi was wrapped in such pretty paper that I didn’t want to open it.  Unfortunately for the paper and fortunately for our bellies, I decided to open the box up and have some for dessert tonight.

Mochi

What a colorful variety of mochi!  We sampled a few and AM tried to trick me by saying they didn’t taste good and proceeded to grab the box and place it on his lap.  I leaned over to grab one and he swatted my hand away!!  When I was able to wrestle some mochi away from his ninja death grip, I did my happy dance.  AM catches me doing my happy dance when I’m eating something really tasty.

So colorful

I had to take the box away from AM or else he would finish the entire thing.  I might have to bring the box to work with me tomorrow just so I can guard it.  HAHA.
