Yum yum...

Oh yah. I love food. Sweet food. Especially sweet food that entails red bean (obviously the sweet kind), my all-time favourite. Today was the best day of my life. Just kidding. Today was a good day. But for a few seconds I was blown away, whisped away to a far off land, the world of red bean heaven. Allow me to explain. Today I had matcha azuki bread.... and it was a life altering experience. Life altering in the sense that I have found my new favourite food. Step aside toast! Who needs you anyway! (well I still need you) But there's a new bread in town! Yeah... anyway....

The kind I found was even more green!!

Ok so, you're probably wondering... what the hell is matcha azuki bread??? Sounds weird, and perhaps interesting, doesn't it?. WELL,  macha azuki bread ( I don't know how many times I can type it) is a delicious, heavenly slice of ever so tender bread made with matcha (green tea powder) and red beans. Think raisin bread, but green and with sweet red beans instead of raisins. Yes, the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. Try it! You will love it! I can't wait to have it for breakfast tomorrow with red bean paste slathered all over that beast! I don't know what I will do when I have to go back to Canada and live without it. I suppose I will have to become a dedicated mactha azuki bread-maker...

While I write this, I would also like to call your attention to the fact that I am also drinking the most incredible canned alcoholic beverage I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Introducing.... Calpis Bar Time in Lychee Rose flavour!!! I bought it a) because of the pretty picture on the can (actually I didn't look at the flavour indicated on the label until half a can into it) and b) because like most practically minded societies, in Japan you can by alcohol at supermarkets and convenience stores. How convenient indeed! Nothing like a Lychee Rose Calpis Bar Time after a good day's work! What a yummy day.... ^_^
