COW BRAND Beauty Soap is a long-established Japanese brand. The red box has a light fragrance, not the kind that's overpowering or noticeably artificial. My skin also feels comfortable after washing, so it's one I personally like quite a bit.
Besides the red box, there's also a blue box to choose from. The main difference between the two is how moisturizing they are. The red box feels more moisturizing and is better suited for dry skin, while the blue box is also a good choice for normal skin. You can also choose based on the season: use the lighter, more refreshing blue box in summer, then switch to the more moisturizing red box in winter. Just choose according to your skin's condition.

Blue Bottle Coffee Kiyosumi Shirakawa Flagship Cafe
The popular coffee shop born in California, USA opened the first shop in Japan in October, 2019, as Kiyosumi Shirakawa Flagship Cafe.
The brand was originally founded in California, USA, and later gradually gained popularity among coffee lovers around the world. You can sense its commitment to coffee quality and minimalist aesthetics. The simple interior design, paired with natural light, makes you slow down without even realizing it. Besides enjoying the coffee, there are also quite a few limited-edition items, and many visitors come specifically to buy them.

Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu bathhouse
This hot spring facility opened in 2017 as a base for introducing a new hot spring culture. Under the theme of "Ancient Dogo," the building incorporates architectural styles from the Asuka Period, which is appropriate for Dogo Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring.
Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu was designed around the concept of the Asuka period. Both the architecture and interior are distinctive, and you can also see local artwork from Ehime. Compared with the historic Dogo Onsen Main Building, Asuka-no-Yu is newer and more comfortable, with a more modern atmosphere. Each has its own unique character.

Kobe Pudding
With its gentle sweetness, deep richness, and smooth mouthfeel, Kobe Pudding also offers a refreshing citrus liqueur aftertaste. The separately packaged caramel sauce, with its pleasantly bitter sweetness and roasted aroma, adds to the special experience of pouring it yourself.
A coworker from Kobe shared this souvenir with everyone. This treat is great for bringing back to Taiwan. Its biggest advantage is that it can be stored at room temperature, so you don't have to worry about keeping it refrigerated along the way. It has a rich egg flavor, and compared with Uni-President Pudding, the texture is firmer than regular pudding. I personally think it tastes better chilled. It's nice and cold, and the egg flavor is even more noticeable. Overall, it isn't so sweet that it feels too heavy, making it great for afternoon tea or as an after-meal dessert.
