Kōrēgusu

Sorry for the interval again, visitors. After getting back from UK, I have been a bit too busy to upload my sketches here. I travelled to Okinawa and bought this bottle of spice. This spice is the local chili peppers in Awamori, local spirits. Very hot but quite nice with Okinawan cuisine. Sketched on the 9th of August, 2010.

I attended a wedding ceremony of a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and this heart-shaped rice cracker was a small gift from the bride and bridegroom at the banquet. Of course it was the first time for me to see the heart-shaped rice cracker! I sketched it on the 10th July, 2009.

It is not very common to eat escargots in Japan but I really like them. My wife found the frozen escargots on sale then she purchased. I cooked paella for dinner yesterday and the escargots were served with paella. So good. Sketched three shells out of six on the 7th of June, 2009.
