Taiyaki and Leftovers

Since we were having leftovers for dinner tonight, I went to Shirokiya to see if I could find anything interesting to spice up dinner. Shirokiya is like a mini-department store and has a nice food area with many ready-made food vendors, kind of like you see on the bottom floor of a department store in Japan. I bought a pack of croquettes to have with the curry from last night and also taiyaki (fish-shaped cakes filled with red bean) for dessert. Since we rarely have dessert at home, the excitement in the air was almost tangible (H's eyes were shining!) as we quickly finished up dinner to have our taiyaki. Yum yum.
