Joli Creer (Autumn Hokkaido Fair) @ Takashimaya

0 comments
Puddings. Had wanted to get the one that was advertised in the Takashimaya flyer, but it was very small and pricey. So got these from Joli Creer instead. Each bottle was about 70gms in weight and costs $6 each.

green tea flavour

looks abit like tofu

soft and nice

The green tea flavour was rather intense. The deeper the spoon goes, the dryer and more intense the green tea flavour was.

drying up

The tiramisu one was interesting.

coffee jelly

wobbly soft, almost mousse-like

The tiramisu pudding basically has a coffee jelly ontop and the usual soft pudding for its body. All the way down of the bottle towards the bottom, there's a thin layer of cake.

My bro had the rea-chizu (real cheese?) bottle, so didn't have any pictures of that one.

Ryugetsu Sanpouroku 柳月三方六 (Autumn Hokkaido Fair) @ Takashimaya

This baumkuchen can be found near the cashier (same location as Ishiya chocolate) at the Autumn Hokkaido Fair in Takashimaya.

Am still not quite sure what possessed me to buy this. Hahaa!

This could make a good gift, as it was wrapped ever so nicely. Sampled all three flavours; original, chocolate and maple, and personally felt that maple has a more interesting taste.

many many layers

Liked that the cake has already been pre-sliced. Just needed to take it out of its plastic wrapping and simply enjoy.

single slice

The outer most layer was coated with chocolate that was thankfully, not too sweet. The inner cake layers were nicely soft and not too dry. The cake has a nice mapley fragrance.

yummy

There was a 10% discount for Sanpouroku when payment is made via Takashimaya credit card. Here's a link to Ryugetsu website, if you're interested.

Seafood Mix Bento (Autumn Hokkaido Fair 2012) @ Takashimaya

1 comments
Located at Food Hall, Level B2 of Takashimaya Department Store, as part of the Autumn Hokkaido Fair 2012.

The main ingredients seemed to be crab meat, ikura and uni (sea urchin). Bought a Seafood Mix Bento (@$27) set to try. Was rather dissappointed that the bento wasn't wrapped with an external paper like those ekibens.

It came with pre-packed wasabi, that was kind of interesting. Most striking was the picture of a mountain/volcano on its packaging. According to Kinjirushi website, its prepared packet wasabi was released in 1972.

The taste of the wasabi is in between of a fresh grated wasabi and those artificial ones.

This Seafood Mix Bento has the most variety of ingredients. Uni, ikura, tobiko, salmon, shellfish, pickled vege, crab shreds, and ebi. Never a dull moment.

 The rice was tasty and adequately vinagered. Yummy.

rice made even tastier with plentiful of ingredients

 A quick search on the internet on Asahikawa ekiben, and one can see the closest match to this bento.
