Chocolate
Today we went to Ueno, and I bought chocolate at Shimura shōten, where you pay ¥1000 for as much as will fit in a bag... well not quite so, but still you get a lot for your money.
The thing is that a lot of the chocolate is set to expire within 2-3 months, which doesn't cause me a problem since it will all be gone within a few weeks. :)
The selection consists of Japanese and imported chocolate. This time I got Belgian Côte d'Or, Swedish Marabou "Noblesse", Switzerland Lindt and German Milka "Lila Pause".
Pictured: The guy at the top shows chocolate bars and dumps them in the bag held by the lady. When the bag is pretty full, it's sold to the closest customer. This just goes on and on.

Hi,
Milka is made by a swiss company (Suchard - http://164.109.16.145/profile/hist1900.html) owned by Kraft in the USA ;-( But the chocolate is nevertheless pretty good.

Oops, well it was imported from Germany then.
I had that one today and it was good indeed. :)

That's the most important part while eating chocolate ;-) If you want real good german chocolate you have to look e.g. for Ritter Sport.

I'll keep that in mind next time I go to Kaldi (http://www.kaldi.co.jp/), my favorite import grocery store. You get free coffee when you enter! :)
