●Kitchenware●
-
- Getting older we've found ourselves always checking out home deco/kitchenware stores. Something about it is just really fun! It's even more fun in another country because you never know what sort of thing that country sees useful, popular, and interesting.

-
- A lot of the kitchenware for sale here were special handmade by Japanese craftsmen, "Made in Japan" stuff. Like a traditional grater that's labeled as "shark skin grater"...is this really shark skin!? It looks like it'd work really well though. Even if you don't buy anything, it's always fun to look!

Syunsui
●Nagano/Karuizawa Souvenir Store●
-
- Comes with shichimi which contains 7 different spices/chili peppers and it's said that there isn't a single household in Nagano that doesn't have it.
- Nagano has some of the best soba. But if you don't have the right soba soup things can go wrong. That's why the soba set is pretty helpful. Inside contains snacks/side dishes that are special to Karuizawa.
-
- Just LOOK at that! It looks crazy good!!!
- Baumkuchen is a very popular snack/dessert in Japan, and apples are very famous in Nagano. So it's no surprise they combined the two!! 1852yen (about $16) isn't a bad price but when we were there though they had a deal where they were selling it for 1200yen (about $10) so maybe you guys will get lucky too!
-
- Love how stylish this bottle is!
- This was our favorite!! Karuizawa sake that's bottle is decorated with the concept of Japanese pattern. You can drink the sake and keep this pretty bottle! We got one for our parents ^-^ ★720ml (24.3fl oz) = 2160yen (about $19)
