Sampleman Loves Kimuraya

Another day in Ginza seldom gets more rewarding than making your way into Kimuraya for some azuki goodness. With constant days of rain lately, I need a sugar high to raise my mood.

Last night I decided against going into Krispy Kreme, Tachikawa for another box of doughnuts.

I just got the last lot a week ago. A lot of sugar can't be too good for you. So this week I've decided to opt for a "little less" sugar instead.

Still a bit unimpressed with the price increase, Sampleman® gets as many free samples as he can. A great way to get an extra bite to eat before work too!

Going home is hilarious. I don't know why I do it, but I put myself in the busiest carriage. At Ginza it's pretty easy to get a seat. One station before mine the people just pile on. The best way to describe it is like a sausage machine. Every available space is quickly squashed with people.

From my safe sitting position, it's truly a fascinating sight.

I like being the outsider looking in. I'm glad I'm not Japanese sometimes. These are one of those times.

That would be a GREAT name for an anime show! Sort of like a "Joannie Loves Chachi" in cartoon form. Sweet.

For those that are confused, Sampleman is my superhero alter-ego. I become him when I see food samples. It makes me all powerful, destroyer of worlds.
