Dropping in on Mitsuwa

 
Dropped by Mitsuwa Markerplace in the International Marketplace after a long while, and was pleased to see another ramen vendor taking the place of my old favorite Hokkaido Ramen Santouka which closed in the wake of COVID years back! The new ramen place was called "Ramen Taiga" and while not the same taste as Santouka, was pretty yummy and I enjoyed it!

As I ate in the food court area, I noticed they installed a huge Gashapon section against the wall, surely a boon for those into those collectibles as Shirokiya Village Walk had to shut down, though the tourist kids I saw there were confused with the token system and just kept mindlessly cranking the machines for prizes, to no avail!

 Yep, so much has changed or been re-arranged, but it was nice to see that the CANMKAE Display area is still up and thriving, and still featuring their cute spokesperson Fuka Koshiba as the pretty campaign face!

As some might recall, I was thrilled when I first discovered the little Fuka Koshiba set-up and had to post about it- it was like seeing a friend at the mall!

SPEAKING of Fuka Koshiba, we are at episode 6 of her thrilling drama Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite- MARRY MY HUSBAND, and HOLY HELL, is it AWESOME!!! 

Just can't WAIT for the next few episodes- thank GOSH ALMIGHTY that Amazon Prime is doing the unusual tactic of  releasing TWO episodes per week- we are all in a feeding FRENZY with this show!!!
