In response to my post about Japanese convenience stores only selling four different chocolate bars (Snickers, Aero, KitKat and Time Out), my mum surprised me by sending one of the best gifts I could have wished for from England…
I particularly like the chocolate fingers! Thanks mum!
P.S. I think I was supposed to share them with Rikuto, but come on, he’s just a baby! For now, I’ll put the chocolate away somewhere safe… munch, munch, munch…
After a hectic week of changing servers, I deserve a
And that’s what I got when I went into the Family Mart convenience store and saw only the 4th major western chocolate bar I’ve ever seen in Japan. We’ve had Snickers, Kit-Kat, and Aero, and now Time Out! Woot!
Imagine only having a choice of three chocolate bars? Thank goodness we now have four! 
I love chocolate. I want chocolate. I need chocolate.
I used to be a skinny teenager, so my mum would keep a stash of chocolate bars in the fridge for me to have everyday to help me gain weight. Unfortunately, I’m still 6 feet tall and weigh a featherly 56kgs! On the bright side though, I can eat as much chocolate as I want and only need to worry about getting spots!
So Valentine’s Day has rolled around again, and as a teacher I often get chocolates from the students. This year I got some chocolate worth sharing on my blog. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… sushi chocolate!
Let’s have a look inside…
And the chocolate itself, which I actually found to be pretty good…
So there you have it folks – sushi chocolate.
On a side note, how come Japan has so much chocolate available, but the choice of chocolate ‘bars’ is almost non-existant? Out here in Gifu, most convenience stores have Snickers, and if you’re lucky, you might find Aero or Big Kit-Kat, and that’s it!!! Come on Japan! Let’s have some Mars bars!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. If you have any leftover chocolate, send it my way!
