Various Food Items

There are so many restaurants to visit during the time of visit. However, there was little time left and I only captured a few of them. 

This photo displayed Black Milk Tea with boba and coffee jelly. It was really tasty and satisfying to drink. The drink in the back is Thai Milk Tea with boba. I didn't try it, but my friend reviewed it as one of the best he had ever drank.

Here is a display of Mochi Ice Cream from the ice cream store in the Japanese Village Plaza. I bought four for myself, and boy they were delicious.

Here is a closer look of the green tea Mochi ice cream. It's very tasty.

Yaohan Plaza

Yaohan Plaza is a mall consisted of several stores. There is an Asian marketplace, department stores, a Japanese arcade, and a bowling alley. Here are some of the photos I took during this experience.

This store consisted of several artistic items, such as paintings, photographs, little statues, and other things. It's one of sensei's favorite stores to visit also.

This item was located in the Utsuwa No Yakata store which is the photo above this one. It caught my eye because of the details it had in this picture.

 This store was located above the Asian supermarket. It consisted of several teacups and pots that are very delicate and artistic to the customers.

Here is a food display I saw at a restaurant. It was closed, but outside of the store it displayed several food items to make the observers hungry and wanting to come back for them. There are ramen items and sashimi items displayed in the photo.

Here is a nice overview of the department stores, with some of my friends blocking the view. I apologize for that. There are three levels as you can see by the escalators. They all have department stores on each level.

Outside, there is a relaxing view of this kind of miniature waterfall. There are tables around here just to sit down and relax, and also eat from the things people bought in the Yaohan Plaza.

I did not remember what this sculpture called, but this photograph displayed a sculpture with the words Hope and Peace (on the other side of the sculpture). This probably meant something containing to the war era.

James Irvine Japanese Garden

This area is one of my favorite areas to visit in Little Tokyo, since I am fond of observing nature. The small ponds and shrubs combined gives an artistic view to the audience. It's amazing how these shrubs can give such an artistic look. Here are some of the photos I captured. I cannot explain them because I'm unaware of what they are, but enjoy some of these photos.

Tokyo Japanese Outlet

This store is located in the Japanese Village Plaza. The Tokyo Japanese Outlet consisted of several Japanese souvenirs. It is attractive mostly to children and teenagers, since there was items like Hello Kitty or Domo. Here are a few things I photographed from this store.

This picture is a bit blurry, but it's a great item to show you. This is sort of a bobble head but it swings left to right and is also solar-powered. It's great for something to put in your car as it wobbles to the rhythm of the music, or a decoration for your room.

This picture shows a wide variety of pencils. There's everything ranging from light up pencils to Hello Kitty pencils. It's great for someone who collects pencils, or just someone who needs one for school.

This picture consists of the few kitchenware that is sold in the Tokyo Japanese Outlet. Unlike the Marukai Market, these kitchenware have a more childish appearance. There are designs with kitties, dogs, or sparkles. In my opinion, these are more fit and stylish than the ones sold in Marukai Market.

Marukai Market

There are a variety of goodies located in this market. It was risky to take pictures here though, because they didn't allow it. Fortunately, I sneaked in some photos here to share the experience.

The photo above gives a sneak preview of the accessories sold in Marukai Market. The photo reveals stools shaped like wooden logs, paper curtains, variety of flowers, buddhist statues, and Japanese style lamps.

This photo shows one of my favorite snacks, which are Green Tea Kit Kats. They are fairly pricey; one bag of these cost about 8 dollars! However, these are worth it.

This photo is part of the snacks aisle. There are a wide variety of snacks and candy as you can see above. From the American snacks to the Japanese snacks, they all are tasty in their own way. You can see fruit flavored snacks and drinks, and also rice crackers.

 This photo displays a wide variety of pots and other sorts of kitchenware. They're fairly cheap (unless you break them). They have a nice Japanese design with a plastic cap on them. The tea pots are really decorative also.

This photo shows a tasty bag of snacks. It's sort of a trail mix, but it's mostly made with rice and other organic materials. I bought one for myself, and they were really delicious compared to other American trail mix!
