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~

Thanks!
