Daughter sent us a care package from Mitsuwa Chicago.
We were spoiled living in California with the fabulous Mitsuwa (several) we shopped at.
The wonderful food courts (I so miss them) plus all my food supplies from Japan.
The Christmas gifts and New Year gifts were tasty and beautiful.
The stores were so much fun to shop at.
Mitsuwa shopping bag.
Mochi, spices, yuzu kosho (small green jar) umeboshi (pickled plums )
Drooling over the flyer, umeboshi candy and cookies.
Pocky sticks. not very sweet cookies but very yummy.
Best ever pot to pour Takoyaki batter into the special pan to make octopus dumplings or balls.
Pickled mushrooms and rice spice and wonderful persimmon Furoshiki. Traditional Jappanese cloth used for wrapping gifts and food.
This is the ban that was around the pot, look at the yummy takoyaki.
Awwwwwww look at the cute tako. These are all hanging all over Osaka.
plus takoyaki stands everywhere. Some of the best takoyaki I ever ate was
made at a tiny stand under the Osaka tower. I really miss Osaka.
Perilla is a is a herb, spice leaf used in Japanese cooking.
We see it often on a dish with sushi on it.
I save mine and eat it after the sushi. Kind of an acquired taste but I love it.
The food and shopping flyer I drolled over all the photos.
Especially Gobo, I love it pickled.
.
Sundays Javelinas.
Visitors at the ponds.
A few Fall babies that were too fast for me to get a photo of.

Hi, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to know that thehamish is filled with chkikin instead of woe. :) In case you missed it on your previous post, I will again add the link to my post containing my pictures of Toto immediately following her death in 2013:

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was one of my favorite TV series and I was saddened to learn of the death of Robert Vaughn. His partner, Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) lives on as Ducky Mallard on NCIS.
I'm happy to know you've got that Lionel Richie hit stuck in your noggin. It's quite an honor knowing that I can brighten your day with one of my posts. If you discuss the election please go easy on me. I'm deep blue.
Thank you very much, dear friend Gayle!
Shady, I did read Toto's post and I cried so much I could not post till today.
DeleteThat means a lot to me, dear Gayle. Thank you!
DeleteNo more woe. Happy Hamisch. Maybe Japanese snacks for Hamish too?
ReplyDeleteno just chkikin'
DeleteThat was a nice package to receive. I love sushi, but know very little of Japanese cuisine. Anthony Bourdain just went to Japan this past week on his show.
ReplyDeleteWe eat so much Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai food it is getting hard for me to make American food. Son cooks Indian.
DeleteThat's a lot of treats for you!
ReplyDeletefud gud dug fud for i thehamish
DeleteYou're like my daughter, she loves all things Japanese and would probably be happy if she never ate much in the way of American food.
ReplyDeleteI cook better Japanese food than American.
DeleteI haven't had much energy to reply and leave comments on blogs, but I wanted to stop by and say hello to you and the furry ones... :)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I have read your blog and I have to tell you Daughter and Son are taking this so hard.
DeleteAll I can say is we have two years to the House comes up for election. Until then just do your best.
Thank You for stopping by. I know your hurting.
Son is helping out more at the shelter. Helping dogs and cats is just the best.
Glad to see thehamish, he always brightens my day.
ReplyDeletewurf wurk wurf
DeleteI recently saw an old Columbo episode. Robert Vaughn was the killer. He had a wonderful smug masculinity. Suddenly, I have the urge to re watch The Magnificent Seven!
ReplyDeleteHe was so good as the very handsome evil.
DeleteOohh those goodies from Mitsuwa look so goooood! I love perilla very much. When it comes with dishes like sushi, I always eat it, too. Also I love perilla tempura. Good stuff :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are so good. I keep forgetting to ask to have perilla tempura. That sound so good.
DeleteI would definitely like him as a helper!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a good helper. And so sweet he would like to meet your gud dug very much.
DeleteVaughn was also very good in The Young Philadelphians.
ReplyDeleteI have never watch this movie all the way.
DeleteHe plays evil nicely.
Good thing you have connections!!
ReplyDeleteYes I am very lucky.
DeleteAnd have a connection.
Thanks for the cute photos ♥
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwwww your welcome.
DeleteGood to see that both you and thehamish are well stocked up with food! How colourful all your Japanese items look, hardly any of them are familiar to me, unfortunately my experience goes no further than sushi, miso soup and sheets of seaweed!
ReplyDeleteummmmm why go further sushi, miso and seaweed sound just fine.
DeleteI would have like to revisit Japan too but our son and his wife are coming home in the new year so I don't think it will happen now.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all of your photos, especially thehamish inspecting the doggie pantry.

I like Japan and much of my family and extended family lives there.
DeleteI bet Hamish is glad he has plenty of food!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the Japanese goodies. Whenever I go abroad I rush to the grocery to see what interesting things there are there!
Cheers!
Yes, markets and bookstore are always first on my list of places then churches and museums. I am such a dork !
DeleteWhat a great present to receive in the post! I love all the quirky packaging and my tummy is grumbling at the thought of all that delicious food. Nice to see The Hamish keeping a good eye on the stores. Have a great weekend! xxx
