Shopping at Discount Store and Supermarket - New Year's Japan Travel Day 8

       My husband and I traveled Japan during New Year's holidays. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we went to a local shopping and onsen facility nearby his parents' home and purchased some local foods.

      We also went to a discount store nearby his parents' home. In Japan, there are many discount store chains such as Don Quijote, Trial and Direx.

Trial Discount Store

       Super Big Choco (スーパーBIGチョコ) is my favorite Japanese snack. It was only 39yen!

     My husband told me that their bread was originally 69 yen but was only 34 yen because it would expire next day. (The regular price was still inexpensive!)

Japan Haul

      We purchased some Japanese snacks there. You can check out my previous entry, 8 Japanese Snacks and Candies I Purchased in Japan - Japan Haul.





        We also went to Japanese supermarkets to purchase my father's favorite sashimi.

Ice Manju

       At the supermarket, I found that they were selling Ice Manju (あいす まんじゅう)! Ice Manju is ice cream made by Marunaga Seika (丸永製菓), which is located in Fukuoka prefecture. These used to be only available on Kyushu island, but I guess that now they sell some of their products in Tokyo as well.

        We couldn't resit buying them. ;)

Yame Matcha Ice Manju

     I purchased this Yame Matcha Ice Manju. It had sweetened red been paste in it. ;) It was delicious!

     I also purchased my favorite Otokomae Tofu. I'll write about it next time.
