Japan has great sweets and is particularly skilled at seasonal treats. For me, it’s fun to be able to try the new foods that arrive with each season, but it’s sometimes sad to see the snacks that I like vanish from the stores. I’m amazed at how well coordinated the shops are at having new items and getting rid of the old ones. I guess it’s something that the people of Japan are used to but for me, it’s an interesting thing to experience. I think this is a unique aspect of Japan and I am happy to be here to see it for myself.
