Today, my makeup artist gave me some souvenir gifts from Nagoya
First was
Mochimochi (soft & sticky) kishimen (a kind of flatter, wider udon, a Nagoya specialty)
Sweet!
I'm quite intrigued
And
this one surprised me
TA-DA!
Kinakobou (a log-shaped sweet made from kinako [soybean flour] and mizuame [a clear, sticky starch-syrup used as a sweetener])
A whole box full of them!
My makeup artist knows that I've loved kinakobou for a long time, so she got some for me
Jackpot~!
Awesome
They're really nostalgic
It made me crazy happy
I just got them today and I've eaten half already
I really love them~
Tominaga-san ("Hakase~" )
[note: 'hakase' means "(the) professor"; it's Tominaga-san's nickname]
Thanks!
