japanese.shopping

we came back to this street again after our breakfast at the hotel... the first discovery is a small bakery that selling freshly made daifuku

i was so tempted to try some but my stomach was completely full then... so i give it a miss...

then we saw this shop that selling japanese arts and crafts, there were already quite a lot of foreigners browsing through the items when we arrived...

there is also a wide selection of japanese ceramic and lacquer ware, of various quality and price...

then we crossed the street to a kind of bookshop but besides japanese magazines and comic, it also sells a full range of groceries

japanese soft drinks such as bottled tea, sake, hello kitty and snacks...

a full range of comic and a few machines for self shot photo and transform them into little stickers...

we walked further to the side street, here is another japanese bakery with a rather fancy name

bakery my heart

they have soft buns made of matcha or azuki red bean paste, they also sell the mentaiko baguette and the typical so called japanese style western sandwich such as one that wrap with port cutlet (tonkasu)...

although i was not hungry, but i couldn't further resist this... I can't recall the name anymore but basically is a typical summer snack made of flour, dust with matcha powder (green) or sesame powder (brown) and you dip it into the syrup before you eat it... a very common and refreshing summer snack that i ate everyday when i was in kyoto last year around the same time...

then we walked across the street to the two big koreans/japanese groceries stores...

a full range of japanese curry paste, we bought two pack so that we could have japanese curry at home soon...

a cold section from one of the grocery stores, displaying full range of konyaku, fish rolls, fish balls and even kimchi...

a full range of miso (white, red) from korea or japan, also a comprehensive selections of japanese pickles that can imagine ....

another full range of curry paste, from mild to hot, from paste to cube, from various cities in japan...

we both were thrilled to see onigri on sales here in another shop, it is really so so japanese as you can buy all sort of onigri from seven-eleven, family mart and different 24 hour convienient stores that exist on every streets and corners.... we both had a konbu onigri to munch on...

muij is not located in japanese town but at the famous shopping street called k�ningsalle... though muji has stores operate internationally but it is good to browse in one here, we both got a top from muji, just like the simplicity and the concept of this brand....

so what do you think of the japanese shopping experience here in dusseldorf, impressive?
