  These were pretty nice, not amazing but a lot more like I expected, just from looking at them.

  I’ll start with the middle one, minced chicken balls on a stick. I’ve rarely thought “sweet” was a good word for chicken (whatever the foodies say), but this chicken really was sweet, not like a lolly but good.

  The one on the left was chicken and leek with a soy-sauce-based charcoally BBQ flavour, nice, what I expected. Second from left was white chicken meat wrapped in seaweed with wasabi – I like all those flavours, it was fine, but didn’t have a lot of zing or something… The pork, second from right, was thin, barbecuey, ok, again not amazing.

  The one on the right was the most interesting, it is actually a Japanese sweet (mochi, if I remember right). I normally don’t like sweets pretending to be savoury, but this worked really well, particularly with the smokey barbecue soy-sauce flavour. No idea why it was green, ‘tho.

  Again, from the Tokyu store that’s kinda integrated into Shibuya station.

• This is what I miss about Japan: things that just fit back into their boxes, with no trouble, clear instructions which way up... *sigh* 07:55:05 am 04 February 2012 from TweetDeck
