Japanese ice-cream

Have you tried Japanese ice-cream? I mean real Japanese flavored ice-cream. Flavors like Macha, green tea, soybean, red bean, sweet potato, bitter gourd, melon etc. When dearest mommy was in town, she couldn’t get enough of red sweet potato (紅芋, beni-imo) flavored ice cream. This photo wasn’t taken there, but Blue Seal ice cream parlor from Okinawa does carry lots of traditional flavors. There is a shop right next to Tokyu Hands in Shibuya.

Iron Man 11

This limited edition Iron Man from Kotobukiya fell into my hands recently. A very nice Fine Art Statue indeed! Wondering if there’ll be any more Iron Mans suddenly arriving at my doorstep. ^^.
