Back at the end of September, one of my favorite blogs, Our Adventures in Japan turned five. I tend to think that being able to last five years in the ever changing and fickle world of blogs is quite an accomplishment. Like many of her readers, I made sure to add a congratulatory comment to that post. What I really didn't pay attention to was the contest Kat was holding as part of their "blogga-versary" celebration. A couple of days later, I received an email from Kat telling me that Satoshi had pulled my name as the winner of the contest! Wow…… truthfully, I've never won a thing in my life…. and I really didn't know how to react. Anyway, I forwarded our address to Kat…. and last week, after returning from a pretty tough day at work, the Missus told me that a box was waiting for me. The Missus hadn't opened it, instead She wanted me to fully enjoy the moment.
The box was stuffed….literally overflowing….
On many items, Kat had written a very neat and tidy description of the item and attached it to the back of the packages. Like these two "Deco-Furikake".
The Missus loved the tea, and has been enjoying it daily.
Even though I don't have a sweet tooth, I really loved the Dark Chocolate Kit Kat's. You can read more about it in Kat's post. I also enjoyed the Lemon Cream cookies.
The Missus, who does have a sweet tooth also loved those Kit Kats, and really took to the cream soda candy.
I also really enjoyed the curry flavored fried okara…… the texture and taste was right down my alley….
The Missus loved the food containers and the utensil set.
And it was all topped off with a really cute t-shirt!
Reading blogs like Kat's, has allowed me to live vicariously through the eyes of another. So thanks so much for the wonderful box of goodies…. but most of all, thanks for sharing your "Adventures in Japan" with us!
