Jenny and I are fighting over whether that crustacean in the senbei is crawfish or a prawn. If anybody knows, let us know so we can settle this!!! -<3
It's gotten a lot more expensive than before. Still, I want to try tuna sashimi.WE were disappointed with the tamakoyaki on our last trip because it was sweet and not special.
Thank you for the great video and you always have a great trip.

Did you find that many stores only accept cash? Or is it okay to use credit cards?
