I like Gobō, so when I saw this in the shops I had to buy some as it sounds like a good idea, sadly the taste isn’t so good.

I think it’s the biggest mall in Nagoya.
Do not go at the weekend, it is very crowded.

60 plates of Japanese plastic food samples.

This bicycle may be old but look at all the extras. Lights, rearview mirror, Bell AND horn. Drinks holder, umbrella holder, rear cart and waterproof basket.
