■Melty Kiss

I LOVE SWEETS!

Japanese chocolates are necessary for my life.....
There are a lot of Yummy Japanese chocolates at supermarket, I love all, but if I need to choose only 1, I recommend this the best!


Melty Kiss by Meiji



This one is strawberry filling



I really love it! Melty Kiss contains whipped cream, so very soft and sweet.
(that is why you need to keep it under 23C)

Melty Kiss has some flavors (the pics above are strawberry). You can get at amazon easily...... You should try!






By the way, I found a collaboration of Melty Kiss and Macadamia Chocolate.
Meiji Macadamia Chocolate is also one of my favorite. That Macadamia with that Melty Kiss...
No wonder I got some packs! LOL

Melty Kiss x Macadamia


Yes, Chocolate is melting in my mouth, and macadamia nuts are crispy and not hard at all, .... yeah I should buy much more hehe

Melty Kiss is sold only during winter in Japan, do not miss or you need to wait until next winter....

■Instant Miso Soup

Do you like Miso Soup?
Miso soup is very easy to make, also healthy. I love miso soup very much!

When I was in Japan, I had miso soup almost every evening. Now i do not have it for dinner often but sometimes take it with my lunch!
Miso soup is not for portable, so i use this for lunch :)

Instant Miso Soup with Wakame(Seaweed) by Marukome

There are a lot of instant miso soup, but i got this one because the packet is very small and good for bringing to office.

12 small packs

Good size for taking with lunch!

Easy to slit! Never be irritated!

Also, Marukome's instant miso soup is really low price hehe.
It is only about 100yen! You can also get them at 100yen shop - Daiso near your house might have it also! Price is really cheap, but the taste is enough real miso soup.

I sometimes go to Japanese restaurants in Singapore, they serve miso soup but not really tasty... Maybe they use cheap miso.... Should not be from Japan as well (although its Japanese restaurant!)

If you want to try "real" Japanese miso soup, chose Japanese famous miso brands : Hanamaruki or Marukome.

There are some verities for example:
Shijimi, Asari etc.


Instant miso soup by Marukome: Shijimi

Instant miso soup by hanamaruki: low salt with wakame


Instant miso soup by Marukome: assort



Because it is cheap, the ingredients are not enough much.... but I can tell you, the miso MUST be yummy!

Enjoy your meal with Japanese Miso Soup!

■Yabukita Green Tea

How are you everyone?
Today i would like to introduce my recommended Japanese green tea.
Maybe you can see green tea at supermarket, but it must contain suger or milk!
No Japanese add anything into green tea...... I was also surprised when i saw that kind of tea outside of Japan.
Why you add suger? Maybe because it's too bitter for you?
But! there are "sweet" japanese tea nothing added like suger.
The sweetness comes from tea itself so different from the taste of suger,
but its really delicious and i like it - Yabukita tea, one of the brand of Japanese green tea.

I especially like tea bagged green tea- cause i dont need a tea pot :p
this is my favorite one;

Yabukita blended green tea bag 

Each tea bag is packed individually.
Instruction;
put a tea bag into a cup and wait 30seconds. after that, swing the bag 10 times and remove the bag.
when you share with 2-3people, put 2bags into tea pot and enjoy tea time.

The color looks dark, but its not so bitter.
Sweetness comes from the tea itself

This product is made from 100% japanese green tea leaf.

If you want to check the detail or try, click the image pic below to go to Rakuten internet shop. (I couldnt find at amazon!)


*the site above is only in Japanese. If you need English site, click here (the same shop)
but the english is poor.... cause its automatic translation

By the way, do you know the defferences between Japanese green tea and Chinese oolong tea for your body?
Green tea effect your body cold, and oolong tea make you warm.
So im always drinking oolong tea in stead of this favorite green tea at office where the aircon is so strong and cold!
