Wednesday in Japan...


Wednesday in Japan..., originally uploaded by angryparsnip.

Found at a fabulous bakery at the Nishinomiya Gardens Mall ... Totoro
pastries.

These delightful bundles of goodness are light dough filled with the
best custard and a cream frosting.
Fabulous tasty !
.
Of course being a huge Totoro fan and Stuido Ghibli ...
there I was being a geeky tourist and standing at the window taking
pictures.
What was even better, this Bakery was on the way to the way to
"Donguri Gardens" a small shop at the mall fill with all things Totoro
and Studio Ghibli.
Geeky Heaven !

Even though I couldn't buy one knowing that I would be devouring a
Totoro, charming son Adam ducked out one afternoon took the train
over to the Mall and came back to the apartment with a bag filled with
Totoros.

We were all very happy !

    That was weird. The first time I tried to post, I got an error message saying the page was no longer available!

    The pastries look delicious!

    Social Frog...
    I can't wait to hear all about your adventures only they will be somewhat different than mine because of the Earthquake and Tsunami. But I hope you will have time to explore.

    Diane...
    they were very cute and I had qualms about eating them but after that first bite...

    Norma...
    That about right for my blog, someday it tells me I don't have a blog or I have a blog but no lists.
    It is always very interesting trying to get on my blog.... I have so many posts flying around in cyber land that never made it to the blog. It is like playing hide and seek.

    I almost could eat one but..... after one bite I happily devoured mine !

    Eryl...
    Oh my is so right !

    Kass...
    Totoro is a favorite movie. With many of Hayao Miyazaki movies besides they fabulous animation the main character is a strong girl who can solve the problem.

    mrsnesbitt...
    Yes they were very tasty but your fish and chips sound very good to me. Served with a pickle I hope.

    William...
    The bakeries in Japan are truly fabulous.
    I think it is because they didn't really bake until after the war (1948) and they fell in love with yeast based breads.
    I also loved the steamed breads and cakes they make. Quite fabulous !
