A lot of grocery stores in Japan are attached to shopping malls, so there are some grocery pictures and some mall pictures here
This is their ice cream selection… the tiny serving cups in the states is their normal here… and a tiny Hagen Dazz (I dont think that is how that is spelled?) as you can see is 248 yen which is a little more then $2.48… expensive… thank goodness for the commissary!
They have green tea everything… including ice cream! I really want to try some... I just haven’t, I will let you know how it goes!
This is the main aisle in the grocery store with all the other aisles coming off of it, of coarse I cant read any of the signs so I mostly just wander aimlessly with my mouth open
This is our friend Mike Parker and he is holding a solid block of ice, it costs $3… I don’t know what that is used for or why you cant just make your own…
This is a typical bakery in a grocery store… they always smell amazing and I always pick out one thing Derick will buy me and I get to take home and try… I have never been disappointed.
This is an international food store in the mall… Mac N Cheese: 303 yen (over $3.03)
Bertolli Pasta Sause: almost $7!!!!!
And SPAM on sale for almost $5!
Another Bakery in the mall, everything is so perfect, all the fruit looks fake, but its not!
Here is a close up of the cupcakes… how cute!
This is the inside of the mall, pretty normal looking
Here is Kimono shop, this on is 290,000 yen… that would be $2,900.00… and somebody told me these are not even the expensive ones….
My friend Yazmin, she has a “large” size shoe next to hers… hmmm… that’s not gonna work
This is some game in the arcade with lots of noice and lights and people shoot coins into it but then balls roll around the tracks and I really had no idea what was going on… it looked pretty intense though
These were in a candy shop like Mr. Bulky… it just seems so wrong…
We spent 15 min watching this lady to try to figure out what these were but we never could figure it out… everybody wanted some though, there were white ones, one rolled in brown powder, some in a black sauce, some in a brown sauce, some green ones… what the heck!

i was just telling Kyle that I wanted him to make me a cupcake. . . and now I see these beautiful Japanese cupcakes and it makes me want one even more!
Lisa, I hope you don't mind that I'm stealing your shopping pictures to use in my class. Thanks for posting all of the pictures and telling us all about Japan, I love it!
No I dont care at all, steal all the pictures you want!!! I miss you guys so much
That old lady picture is making "DANGO"s, sounds weird I know, but those are quite delicious! It's like four balls made from rice-flour and put on a skewer with either a sweet sauce or a sweet red-bean paste. MMMMMM try it next time!
There's also a thing called "DORAYAKI" which is a pan-cake like thing sandwiching the sweet-red-bean paste.
