I think it's just another manju with "kimi an" (filling with egg yolk in it), and it's quite similar to much less expensive products like Satomi no Sato from Yamazaki (major bread manufacturer in Japan):<br />http://itmarket.jp/review/?p=1383<br /><br />As for Tokyo Banana, I totally agree with you. It's simply over-rated. Even my daughter is of the same opinion.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-15012221837983186982016-02-28T10:06:54.218+09:002016-02-28T10:06:54.218+09:00I meant *filled up* not *filed up*...[laughs!]I meant *filled up* not *filed up*...[laughs!]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-43481382107263631652016-02-28T10:04:06.069+09:002016-02-28T10:04:06.069+09:00Hiroyuki-san: First of all, congratulations to you...Hiroyuki-san: First of all, congratulations to your son on passing the exams! <br /><br />The Sapporo Museum tour reminds me of a brewery that I visited here in the US. For $10, you can join a 30 minute tour inside the brewery, sample 4 types of beer (rootbeer is also free & unlimited!), and each visitor receives an 8 oz glass as a souvenir.<br /><br />When I visited Tokyo several months ago, I saw advertisements for Hiyoko in Tokyo Station! How did it taste? I didn't get a chance to try Hiyoko because I decided to try Tokyo Banana instead. Have you tried Tokyo Banana before? I wasn't very impressed with the taste at all. It's over-rated, if you ask me. On my flight back to the US, I saw a tourist with 20 bags full of Tokyo Banana. He bought so much that it filed up the entire overhead bin on the airplane .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-85743909336669288142016-02-28T02:07:07.969+09:002016-02-28T02:07:07.969+09:00That's wonderful news!

I hope you will get good news from the other exam as well. I am glad he will not have to take the other exam on March 12. Then I guess the difficult job is deciding which university to attend. Best wishes to him and to your family!<br /><br />Take care,<br />Erin in CaliforniaErinBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799435961212113451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-19478022275643908952016-02-27T06:43:15.166+09:002016-02-27T06:43:15.166+09:00Erin: Thanks for your kind words!

With the passing of the exam of this particular private university (my son have already passed three other exams of private universities), we have already decided not to take the secondary exam of a national university in the latter period, which is conducted on March 12. We are waiting for the results of the exam he took on Feb. 25, which are announced on March 8.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-7729046125613117982016-02-27T02:35:26.628+09:002016-02-27T02:35:26.628+09:00Congratulations to your son on passing his test! ...Congratulations to your son on passing his test! Does he still have more tests to take?<br /><br />It sounds like that was a very good day. The Sapporo Museum sounds good, along with the visit to the bath and garden. <br /><br />I was in San Francisco yesterday, and had sakuramochi there! It was delicious. Your tea and mochi look so delicious also.<br /><br />Take care,<br />ErinErinBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799435961212113451noreply@blogger.com
