BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY

My box of Japanese snacks is getting light.

I had budgeted $100 to buy snacks for the office, and another $150 for myself. The last traces of the office snacks (cheese and almond Doritos, ramune corn puffs) were gone by the start of the second week of my return.

My box is now down to some gum and watermelon hard candy. (I do have two bags of taco Doritos that I bought at the Costco in Chiba— I just need to reconfirm that they’re veg friendly.)

But all of my chocolates and my various vending-machine drinks are gone.

I expect that I’ll restock a bit up at Mitsuwa in November, but it just won’t be the same…
