A Toothsome Beverage

Dean and Deluca's seasonal 'Strawberry Marshmallow Hot Chocolate.' Need I say more?
(Consumed this morning on the way to the Kanto Plains Choral Festival.)

Golden Raspberry Jam

This jar of jam was purchased at a swish and modern deli (called J-Sekka) in Niseko last weekend. Not only does the jar have a pleasing label, but the jam inside of it is delicious, even if it is a little on the sweet side.

On Sunday morning, our final day in Niseko, Mt. Yotei finally made an appearance.
