Japan Stuff: かき氷 (kakigoori)

Kakigoori is a famous Japanese dessert especially during summer. It is made of shaved ice and topped with flavored syrup. You can often see it at omatsuri (summer festivals) and even on convenient stores.

Today, on our way home, I saw a kakigoori stall. And since it was very hot, I decided to buy for me and my son. It costs ¥100 (about 50 php). Eventhough it was self-service, the staff was very nice to assist me on how to make it since I have no idea how to do it haha.

Here's the shaver:

Food Trip #2: Costco Pizza

Aside from cheap wholesale/retail items, another thing that I love about Costco is the food court. We went to Costco Kawasaki last Sunday and I was able to grab my favortie pizza! I bought one slice and a whole combo pizza (16 or 18 inches, I'm not really sure hehe). The price? 1,500 yen! So cheap and yummy.

Better not miss the pizza if you visit Costco.

Food Trip #1: Arashi Ramen (らあめん花月嵐)

It is summer here in Japan but it has been raining for a week. That is why the weather is kinda good. Not so hot, not so cold especially at night. Today, I went out with my son to eat ramen for lunch. Ramen is a japanese word but I believe everyone is familiar with it.

The first time I ate at Arashi Ramen was at 白楽駅 (Hakuraku Station), two stations away from the nearest station in my place. But today, we ate at 大倉山駅 (Ookurayama Station), one station away. I am not sure how many branch they have but I believe they are kind of famous.

I wasn't able to take a picture of the store so I had to google it.
