It was already lunch time we I got there. My friend let me borrow her dad's bicycle to go shopping to the "shoutengai" my favorite place to shop or eat!
The street has almost everything.
But mainly food. This is how tofu is sold. This store sells all tofu stuff.
It is like a milk. In different stage of making, it creates different form of food. We even eat the soy bean wastes. They are all very nutritious
LUNCH TIME!

Takoyaki! (octopus ball - as you know by now)
