On Location: Uwajimaya

Every trip home includes a long stop at the ultimate Japanese grocery store: Uwajimaya, which is now no longer just a grocery store, it is a village: Uwajimaya Village. Our purchases were not that exciting: garlic, ginger, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, soba, some treats for K., Pocky G. Hard and Rich, Men's Pocky, beer, inari sushi, wakame, and miso, but here are some pictures from the trip. Enjoy.


Miles and miles of miso. But don't eat it straight with a spoon!

Super clean chitlins!

Slow life? Are there snails involved here?

I'm assuming that this is a pork dish and not a kitty-made-to-taste-like-pork dish.

Sake.

Glow in the dark sake.
