A trip down aisle 1

Ah, the Japanese grocery store. Here, we can see Japanese mushrooms(enoki, eringi, bunashimeji) and okra, tofu, and different kinds of soy sauce. How many kinds of soy sauce can you see? How many kinds does your market carry? Did you notice the prices: the mushrooms and okra are 100yen(just under $1), the tofu is 38yen(about 35cents), and the soy sauce varies from about 198yen-1550yen(about $2-$15)!

  1. This so funny because Chalice and I just went to the Chinatown Food Market here in Kansas City about a week ago. I may have questions for you pretty soon because we are planning on going back soon and i need some ideas on what to get because I can't read most of the labels...

    You'll help won't you? I know you will because you are sooooo sweet.

    Later jet...
