Marukai again!

Yes, I did it again...Went to Marukai in search of Japanese snacks. The first box on the left is Octopus flavor pretz, the middle one is Tomato and the last one is "Consomme" flavor. Isn't Consomme beef soup? I'll have to try it to find out.The box on the left is "Paripo" by Glico (same makers of Pocky) is Reverse Pocky. The coating is on the INSIDE of the pretzel stick - this is peanut flavor. The middle bag is assorted rice crackers that I bought for the sweets tray for our upcoming holiday gatherings. while the last box is pudding flavored Pretz. It looked interesting and it was on special too!

Rice crackers for my snacks at work:
These are mini soy sauce containers complete with insanely cute animal heads and a mini syringe.
More stationery with cute designs. The letter paper says "Here ar a lot of colorful pears. We hope you will enjoy it". The top of the envelope says "Looking for delicious pears" and the bottom party reads "We want to take the most delicious pears to you"!. Well, at least this made sense. Some of the other letter packets had the wierdest sayings on them. More on that in a future post.
Here's another letter set that made "sense". The letter paper reads "Forest Green - We roam the forest of search of wild fruits". The envelope says the same thing. Those circular things are seals.
The pudding Pretz...Wonder what this tastes like?

I also bought some mini frames as gifts and raised plates for $1.98! Food looks slightly better elevated. I was planning to use to raised plates for my dessert display for the few parties that I plan to host in the next couple of weeks.
