i chef i know came back from visiting his parents/family and i have a present. i just havent a clue what it is and he was busy so i didnt ask.

its a dessert he said as he walked away


it is in a thin plastic wrapper, and is in a ball shape. something kinda white-ish in the middle, i can see from underneath, but surrounded by something im pretty sure isnt chocolate, sweet bean paste?


annnny ways. if you have lived there or know what it might be, what is it?

Sounds like maybe it's Mochi?

And nobody asked you for your opinion. She asked for if anyone knows what she has is called...

Everytime I go to the actual authentic Japanese (not the hi, we have a habachi and a few novelty sushis) place here, they're out of dango.


Pisses me right the f*** off. I really want to try it.


I think I should make a trip to Nagasaki this weekend.


Edit: We have about four real ones in the area. Nagasaki is the only one where they don't outwardly hate white people, though.
