Trader Joe's

I like to go to "Trader Joe's" Because they have good stuff in good price!! I saw 2 shops will be open soon in Manhattan. They are getting bigger and bigger!!
And also I find many unique things every time:) And last time I went there, I found this!!
I'm not sure American likes this texture but maybe "Mochi Cream"(This is popular shop in Japan that selling many many kinds of Mochi Ice Cream http://www.mochicream.com/) can start business in U.S.A. soon:) lol
I've seen this at "Kenka" which is Japanese Izakaya (Izakaya is...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izakaya) in NY. It's pretty funny place to go... You can enjoy funky Japanese atmosphere!! http://maps.google.com/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Kenka+ny&fb=1&gl=us&hq=Kenka&hnear=ニューヨーク,+NY&cid=75412288690634467
If you go there, please be careful when you go to restroom because they have only Japanese signs for men and women.... so men is "男", women is "女". Why don't you remember this sign first then go there? :)

こちらには”トレーダージョーズ”という大きなスーパーがあり、オーガニックのものなどが安く買えるので愛用しています。マンハッタンにも数店舗もうすぐオープンという看板を見たので、現在拡大中と思われます。お土産を買うのにもいいですよ!!ホールフーズより断然安いです。
そんなトレーダージョーズでこの間、雪見大福ならぬ餅アイスクリームを発見!!それもマンゴー味。。。
ケンカという居酒屋さんのデザートでも見ましたが、これアメリカ人にうけるんでしょうか?もしそうだとしたらMochi Creamのアメリカ進出も間近かもわかりませんね!!
