Blogging about Japan yesterday inspired a run to the Asian/Japanese grocery Tomato in Norcross. I love to go to Japanese grocery stores and look at the colorful packaging. Lots of it is PINK. I know from working for an international linen company that the Japanese consumer (in Japan) loves PINK! Another reason I know I will love Japan.
This is a Japanese treat a round puffy marshmallow filled with a strawberry jelly and it is not too sweet! Most of the Asian desserts I have eaten are not very sweet. So was I in heaven there pink packaging, sweets and all kinds of cute little plates and even Japanese magazines. I think it is one of my favorite markets to go to.
Have a PINK day!
As my kids were growing up we hosted a number of exchange students and we were so happy to have a Japanese student with us for a year. My kids LOVED the MANY packages that our student's mom would send to them. The Japanese are so thoughtful with gifts and it was most common to get a box of gifts and candy every month. For year's after our student had returned home we would still receive a gift on his graduation date with a letter of thanks. It wasn't pink but all of these kind gestures were unforgettable.
