food friday, #1

after the convenience store food found out about thirsty thursdays, there was an uproar.  hence, food fridays.

i very recently went to my first convenience store here.  there are convenience stores on every corner.  the japanese love their snacks and beverages!  

lawson's is where i had my first convenience store experience.  unlike most of the stores i had been in so far, there was not much in english.  therefore, i had to guess.  here is what i ended up with:

some random little green things in a bag, mitsuya cider, and a rice ball with plum in the center.  rice balls are a misnomer.  they are rice triangles.

the olive things turned out to pickled eggs of some sort.  i almost vomited after trying them.  and i attempted to look them up on the internets but no luck.  who knows what i really ate!  

the rice ball was pretty good but i was surprised by the rice ball filling.  for some reason, i thought it would be sweet plum but it was pickled.  japan loves to pickle their food.

the mitsuya cider was delicious.  it was like a less sweet version of sunkist.


maybe next food friday i'll actually pick something that is not pickled.
