Imuraya Matcha Chocolate Monaka

Today, my husband and I went to Seiwa, a Japanese supermarket in Costa Mesa. We bought a lot of Japanese foods today somehow. It's probably because we were hungry when we were there. Hunger makes you buy more! :)

Most Japanese products in the U.S. are usually more expensive than ones in Japan, but Seiwa sells some Japanese products with pretty affordable prices. Today, I purchased this Imuraya Macha Chocolate Monaka (井村屋抹茶チョコ最中アイス) for 79 cents! It's the lowest price I've ever seen in the U.S.! It's also pretty hard to find this price in Japan!

Imuraya is a very famous Japanese confectionery company and established in Mie prefecture, Japan in 1896. As I mentioned in my previous entry, their product was chosen as the official Japanese souvenir of the G7 Ise-Shima Summit in May this year.

I am glad that I can enjoy their delicious ice cream in the U.S. :) If you love matcha or green tea, you should try this authentic Japanese ice cream! You can find Imuraya ice cream and mochi products at any Japanese supermarkets in the U.S. If you are in Japan, you can find more of their products at supermarkets and convenience stores there.
