Day 15 - Shopping and Green Tea

Tuesday 4th November

Still taking it easy now, but today is a shopping day.  I’m using today to go and get the things I didn’t pick up the first week and I want to get more tea …. But don’t tell Scott 😳 😂

I have a huge affection for Ippodo Tea, but they only have shops in Tokyo and Kyoto … however, I have found that they have a satellite store in the Sugo department store in Hiroshima ….. guess where I’m going!?!? 

The basement floor of department stores are always full of food and drink…. The smells are amazing and there are some incredible looking foods - especially cakes and sweets.  I could wander round here for ages just looking at the wonderful displays of food …..

But I had a mission …. I wanted tea.  Ultimately I now have enough tea to last me a little while …. Just hope we get it all in the case haha.

We went back into the underground shopping center and found a huge shop that had a mix of Asian and Western foods.  On one shelf there was Biscoff but on the same shelf next to it was Japanese Curry boxes… I may have bought a couple of tea boxes here … oops!

Then I ended up in Donki … I know - I can’t help myself


I’m now pretty much shopped out - much to Scott’s relief … I need a cuppa and put my feet up and prepare ourselves for tomorrow….. it’s our last full day tomorrow …. How did that happen?

Until then - Oyasumi Nasai ❤️
