Was "Umi no Shizuku" used in an anime or something? I've been getting a lot of hits because of that song. I searched but the top result is for a nutritional supplement. Maybe that's what people are looking for? And they end up here instead. LOL Anyway, at this point the only EP I've done …

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated "Pray freely" to "Pray it freely", which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)
