I really like its chewy, bouncy texture. Every flavor is delicious, but grape is my favorite. The sweet and tart taste is just right, and the more you chew, the more addictive it gets! I usually carry a pack with me when I go out, so when I'm shopping or craving a snack, I can easily pop one in for a little sugar boost and that small sense of happiness from satisfying my sweet tooth〜

Houkiboshi “Brown Sugar Cannelés – 10-Piece Set”
The most popular item from Houkiboshi, Okinawa’s first specialty shop dedicated to Brown Sugar Cannelés, is this delightful 10-piece set. Made with premium brown sugar from Tarama Island, each bite offers a rich depth of flavor and an elegant sweetness. The exterior is perfectly crisp, while the inside remains soft and chewy.
Okinawa’s super-popular Houki Boshi cannelés are irresistible just from the packaging alone! Opening the box feels like stepping into a starry sky—it’s exquisite and dreamy. With the smallest 4-piece box, you can choose different flavors. The mini cannelés are made with brown sugar from Tarama Island, Okinawa. They’re slightly crisp on the outside and moist and soft inside, with a subtle brown sugar aroma. In addition to classic brown sugar, there are many distinctive flavors such as Okinawan milk, pineapple, and coffee. Each one is so tiny and cute that I almost couldn’t bear to eat it!

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s premier cherry blossom viewing spots, with nearly 1,000 cherry trees of more than 65 varieties planted across its expansive lawns. From the early-blooming kanzakura and Kawazu cherry trees to the final display of Somei Yoshino and double-flowered cherry blossoms, the different varieties bloom one after another. The garden combines Japanese, English landscape, and French formal garden designs, creating enchanting scenery. Every spring, visitors and local residents bring picnic blankets and sit beneath the cherry trees, enjoying food and the romantic views while taking in the feeling of spring in Tokyo.

Starbucks Coffee Dazaifu Tenmangu Omotesando Store
Starbucks Coffee Dazaifu Tenmangu Omotesando Store opened in 2011, right next to the torii gate facing the Omotesando Avenue of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. This is one of the "Regional Landmark Stores," originally designed by Starbucks in iconic locations throughout Japan to promote the attractive local culture to the rest of the world.
This Starbucks was designed by master architect Kengo Kuma. Its most striking feature is the use of approximately 2,000 pieces of traditional timber, woven diagonally and extending from the interior to the exterior. The entire building was constructed without a single metal nail. The flowing wooden lines perfectly complement the historical and cultural atmosphere of Dazaifu, blending nature, tradition, and modern architectural aesthetics. It’s an artistic landmark and photo spot you definitely shouldn’t miss when visiting Tenmangu Shrine!
