Anmitsu to go
Anmitsu is a traditional Japanese desert typically made of agar jelly cubes, mitsu (black molasses-like syrup), anko (adzuki bean paste), peas, fruit, and gyuhi (rice flour based sweets). One of my favorite Japanese deserts! – Japan

Myoga
(or Myoga ginger or Japanese ginger). There are so many ways to eat them but I like to slice them thin, mix with bonito shavings and soy sauce, and eat it with freshly cooked white rice for breakfast. – Japan

Self-checkout at Uniqlo
I simply place a basket at the checkout station and it automatically scans everything in the basket. There is no need to scan each item separately. Super timesaver! – Japan
