At a recent xmas dinner and dance that my friend went to, she went full on and dressed up as a Japanese Geisha. She’d done it to a T, including makeup so thick she could only eat through a straw. All the hard work paid off though as she came away with the top prize and had almost everyone in the whole company wanting to take a picture with her. (I’d love to post a photo of her here, but sadly she wouldn’t allow me).
If there’s anything I love about living in Asia it is the accessibility of Japanese foodstuffs and the cute kitsch-y feel that they have. Whether it is a 135ml (4.5 Oz) can of Kirin Beer, or a box of Moomins candies you can be sure that Japanese foodstuff is definitely quirky but at the same time leaves a different and pleasant taste on your taste-buds. The Japanese have definitely got it locked down on quirky but special-feeling foodstuffs.
Here’s where Oyatstu Cafe, your Japan Export Store, comes in.
