They are light green, heart shaped gummies and are individually wrapped. They are so delicious and addicting. I love them, but they are so expensive here. If I can find some kind of candy shop or perhaps better, a larger supermarket, can you predict about how much they would cost there? It would be great if I knew ahead of time how much space to leave in the suitcase...Going To Kyotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208026369907368550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278972531514572637.post-50631567234496831712013-04-09T00:53:34.316-04:002013-04-09T00:53:34.316-04:00Great post, 2014 i am on my way to japan for schoo...Great post, 2014 i am on my way to japan for school. and have been researching everything from housing, utility costs and grocery cost. i am sure prices will change and very, still helpful. 5/5 keep the blog updated.

They usually have about 15 registers or so, so that tells you how big it is. You can search on line but you probably need to do it in Japanese. ave スパ<br /><br />Also Gyome Super. Their signs are in green and white. It is a huge chain too but great discounts.Warren Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940523941431891429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278972531514572637.post-3670792554440711562011-06-05T00:28:55.183-04:002011-06-05T00:28:55.183-04:00Hello,

It's most interesting :) I'm interested in spending a year in Japan and was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your experience?<br />Mainly which organisation did you use and how did you find them/any feedback? And do you have any tips/feedback/advice for someone thinking about the same thing? Thanks heaps. You can contact me on artemisfowl2 @ hotmail dot com if that's easier :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278972531514572637.post-50842558982693859742011-05-07T12:37:27.927-04:002011-05-07T12:37:27.927-04:00Great post!

Though I would rather not pay Japanese prices; I pay about what you paid!<br /><br />Some of the items are actually semi-reasonably priced! Fresh pineapple in Arizona often costs in the ballpark of what you paid...I guess it might be kind of like the banana thing? And I'm soooooooo jealous of your cheap Japanese candy, LOL.<br /><br />From Google it looks like they maybe "sterilize" milk instead of pasteurizing it. And/or, they mix fresh milk with reconstituted dried milk (!!!) for the milk you buy on the shelves. So that might explain why it was so gross. :/Julie Bihnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694252260205949341noreply@blogger.com
