japanese food: acquired!
yay! i'm happpy. i got miself a japanese food shrine to quell the anxieties of a nonacclimated stomach.

well, okay, it's a temporary shrine that will dwindle as i eat the foods it's comprised of. but, oh well.

and i have to call it a shrine or else the sheer preposterous price of the food will seem to have less purpose if it's just for simple consumption.


here they are:

1) takao-no-men brand dried udon 1kg;
$5 US (in Japan that would be 250 yen or ~$2.50)
2) S&B instant golden curry (Sauce with Vegetables);
$2 ((in Japan that would be 100 yen or ~$1)
3) Reduced Salt Marukome brand Wakame Instant Miso Soup (10 individual serving packets) 200g;
$5 (in Japan that would be 200 yen or ~$2.00)
4) Kikkomon Hon Tsuyu (Soup base/ Dipping sauce for udon/tempura) 500ml;
$5 (in Japan that would be 250 yen or ~$2.50)

So, basically, everything is double or more the price of what it is in Japan.

OH WELL. I got mi snacks! yafuuuuuu~~~

(bought at Kam Man Food Center and Asian Food Center in E-town, NJ)

Whoooaaa okay, I just checked online and the Kikkoman brand Tsuyu is actually 400 yen for a 500ml bottle according to the Kikkoman website. I think I used to buy the more generic brand or something while in Japan. g'lord.

okay, maybe everything's not too expensive in comparison to in Japan, but the brands offered here are just too high class for my plebian tastes. Where's my 7&iholdings generic brand miso soup? (if only..)
