I have no clue what kind of fruit this is, but someday, I will buy one and research how to eat it. It looks so pretty! Do you know what it is??? It's about a $10 for one piece of fruit, so I'm sure it's something yummy!
I found some good quality balsamic vinegar! Ya! They don't have any good brands at the commissary here. So seeing this made me very happy.
I saw a little sign saying this... The Japanese Ingrish makes me laugh.
Look what I found!!!!!!! Every year, I put these in my parents stockings. I was so excited to see them here. However, sorry mom and dad... You won't be getting these ones. They are about $5 each!!!! I was very tempted though.
I have never heard of bottled avocado oil! Although, I more then likely will not be trying this (maybe for a special occasion). It was 2600Y!!! That's more then $30 for ONE bottle!
And here is everything I came out with. A bag of green tangerines. They taste sweet, just like the ones that come from my Grandpa's tree back at home. Those were only 150Y for the whole bag. That's about $2.00. Then on the bottom of the photo is the mushrooms. I'm not exactly sure what kind they are, but they have them in all the good restaurants here. I'm excited to see if I can make them taste just as yummy! Then there is the quarter of a squash. I LOVE Japanese squash more then I love the California acorn squash. It's more sweet :) Then last, but not least, there is the box of pumpkin soup mix! I think this is what I am the most excited about. I am going to ask one of my Japanese friends if they can translate the directions on the back. It looks like it will be very delicious!
These are the directions to the soup. Sorry it's sideways.
The mushrooms are shiitake -- soooooo good! Throw away the stems though, or use them for broth -- they are too tough to eat. The Japanese pumpkin is called kabocha, and I think it's better than acorn squash, too! The pink spiky fruit is dragonfruit, and you just peel it and eat it. I love them1
