Small Bottles of Alcohol
Oct 15, 2026, 17:49

Small bottles of alcohol are really convenient when you want to try a variety of different types.
While you have to declare larger bottles when traveling by plane, small bottles don’t require any such troublesome procedures.
A friend of mine often buys several of these small bottles to enjoy a range of different flavors.
Unfortunately, I’m not much of a drinker myself, so I just enjoy collecting the pretty bottles and using them as decorations! 😭
Fun Decorations

Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in places putting up Halloween decorations again.
The other day, I spotted a suit of Western armor on display in a shop window—and it had a cute little bear-shaped pouch slung over it! I couldn't help but snap a photo.
After all, it looked exactly like the "Armor" character from *Chiikawa*, one of my absolute favorites! Haha.
Handy Cards

Lately, more and more hotels in Japan seem to be placing these kinds of cards at their entrances and exits.
They feature information on recommended tourist spots, gourmet food, and more in Japan.
I sometimes check them myself, as they often contain information even I didn't know.
If you ever visit Japan and aren't sure where to go, I think these cards are a great resource to use! 😊
A doghouse?!

Has my beloved Chiikawa turned into a doghouse?!
I spotted this product at a home improvement store the other day, and the funny look of it made me laugh.
I mean, there’s a huge hole cut right into my favorite Chiikawa’s face, and there’s a dog inside!
It’s just too funny!
Instant Soup

As it gets colder, I find myself craving a warm bowl of soup.
Japanese supermarkets offer a wide variety of instant soups,
ranging from Japanese and Chinese to French and Italian styles.
Among them all, my absolute favorite is glass noodle soup. ♡
