Taiyaki
It’s a fish-shaped waffle-like cake, traditionally filled with sweet red bean paste. Best to eat while it’s hot! – Japan

Nerikiri
Nerikiri, another one of my favorite Japanese sweets. Typically made with shiro an (sweetened white bean paste) as the primary ingredient and seasonal designs are often used. Most shops have many different shapes to choose from and it’s always hard to pick just a few! – Japan

100-yen shop
Daiso, a large 100-yen shop chain (franchise?), sells cheap but great products. They are everywhere and every store is always super clean. Yarns are my latest favorites. Making of this scarf only cost me 300 yen and the net bag took less than a skein (100 yen)!

Sweet potato baker
My cousin insisted that I borrowed his sweet potato baker (yes such a thing exists and I didn’t know about it). I was skeptical but it does bake perfect sweet potatoes! – Japan
