In tens

"Has it been ten years already?"

This was the question that popped in my head after this showed up on my feed.

That means it was in 2015 when Mark and I played tour guide to Isa and her family when they went to Tokyo. 

They arrived during the height of the Sakura season, so we went to Ueno Park to they could see them in full glory. Then, we went to a sushi bar with the revolving tracks, then to Omotesando and Harajuku.

Seeing this photo made me realise that it's been a while since Mark and I spent Holy Week in Japan. It's been less than 10 years, but still quite a long time ago.

This is good motivation for us to go and see the cherry blossoms again.

Intoxicating

Aside from the staple Green Tea Kitkat and Meiji dark and white chocolates, another variant that I bought at Ueno was this interesting chocolate variant.

Honestly, what attracted me to this product was the color of the packaging. I had no idea how it tasted like, but the box looked appetizing. Thus, I ended up buying one whole box.

And boy, it's a good thing I did. This chocolate tastes great! The rum flavor is very pronounced, and adds body to the dark chocolate base. There's this hint of berry flavor, which I attribute to the wine. It was my niece who told me that it tasted great, and after trying it out, I couldn't help but agree with her.

I'm glad that I bought this interestingly new Dark Rum chocolate from Meiji.

It really is intoxicating.
