japan 5 08

Shopping in rural Japan: the lovely lady in a radish colored outfit selling one of the area's specialities: pickled radishes.
A helpful, happy sign demonstrating what might be done with the - extremely unfamiliar to me - packaged items below.
And, again, in the image above you will find the happy little figures and the ice cream cone ( ice cream was big in the towns we visited, found on most every street ) indicating what might be consumed within. Above, then, you might have ice cream, beer and a tray of red things made by a baker!
