I’d been thinking about good norimaki all morning. The one I like is usually sold out before noon, but I went to the store anyway in the afternoon. Luckily, there was one left. The willpower…!

It was like summer. I walked around the temple and saw tiny red balls on the cherry blossom trees. It took some time to realize they were cherries.

A local supermarket started selling store-made crêpes, and I’ve been casually checking them out. They look like big crackers and are about 18 centimeters tall and 6 to 7 centimeters in diameter at their fullest part. The most popular one seems to be Choco-banana whipped cream, and it’s 400 yen.
