“Green Car” in a Shinkansen(新幹線）!

The other day, I talked about Shinkansen(Japanese TGV, simply saying…very very fast train).
Did you know that there is a seat called “Green Car”???

Say, normal seat of Shinkansen is an economy class, “Green Car” are all “First Class” seats.
First of all, there are more space…

with free magazine provided…

If you have an earphone, you can listen to radio and music!

Yes, it’s more expensive but it’s way more comfortable!
It’s good to have fun once in a while!!

MOCHI – Japanese Food –

Do you know what they are?

They are rice cakes!!!
It might be hard to imagine for the people who have never tasted… Japanese rice are sticky, so, if you pound the rice, it will become like this.
(This one was dried afterwards.)

In January, when Japanese celebrate New Year, we eat rice cakes in a traditional way, calling “ZO-NI”.

But in my house, it is special.
Since my family love it too much, It is not only New Year… we eat it all year around!

Tobacco Case Long(Natural) – Japanese Traditional Goods –

REMIOjapan has a Tobacco Case two. There are two size, normal and long.
Today, I would like to introduce you of the Tobacco Case Long(Natural).
It is made from KABA, the cherry bark of Akita .

I’ve heard that in China, Tobacco Case Long(Natural) is selling well!
REMIOjapan sells two texture, “polish” and “natural”. The polish is selling well too but like me, Chinese people seems to like the texture of Natural.

And for those who doesn’t smoke… I heard that this case is just right size for keeping name card too! Since KABAavoids moisture and dryness, it is perfect for keeping the paper inside.
