I'm a winner!

Back in March I won Kayleigh's giveaway of Ryu Murakami's In The Miso Soup along with a bunch of goodies from her trip to Japan which was SUPER EXCITING! The package finally got here. Or rather it got here on Monday but since I was not home to sign for it, I had to wait until Saturday to pick it up from the post office. But that has happened and now I have it and everything is wonderful. Wondering what it included? Of course you are!

Look at all the treats! There's so much chocolate here.

There's the book. Obviously.
A GORGEOUS origami bookmark from the Sapporo museum
Cookies & cream panda Pocky
There were 2 of the Cadbury Marvelous Creations eggs but I ate one immediately. In part because I can't control myself. In other part because the package was sitting in the car for awhile and while you can't tell in the picture, that other egg is entirely melted. The other was worse so I HAD to eat it. 
That cute bear tin ALSO full of chocolate
Yubari melon candies that are from a melon only grown in that area so suuuper fancy
Green tea and sakura blossom Kit Kat which I am totally not sharing with anyone. Sorry, Boyfriend+
Lil' origami fish
A white rabbit Alice in Wonderland sticker
Things that look like match books but are actually MORE CHOCOLATE. As the package says "Not flammable, but eatable" 

Kayleigh, thank you! This is awesome. And I can feel myself coming down from the first sugar high, so I should probably have some more candy.

I almost didn't do the post cos I was like "this is just bragging, don't do that" but then I wanted to point out how awesome Kayleigh is. Also CANDYYYY
NICE! I love Japanese candy.

I can't say I'm familiar with it, except I guess Pocky, but mmm I am enjoying this journey
That looks totally amazing! not to mention well worth waiting for. I never even suspected the existence of a green tea KitKat, but if it were mine, I wouldn't share it either. This is perhaps the most exciting package I've seen in ages.

I have heard OF all of the crazy Japanese KitKat flavors (apparently they have any-flavor-you've-ever-considered-and-many-you-haven't) so I am excited for this. Especially cos I tend to love green tea flavored things.
luuuuuucky! Japanese snacks are the best, no lie. And you're right, the cure to a crash is to just eat more chocolate. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I'm sure that's the right thing to do. Seems to work for the Harry Potter-verse!

YES! See I'm fighting dementors. Sure, there aren't any around, but it's probably from all this dementor vaccine I'm taking
What a haul!

Oh yay!! I was just about to tweet you and check if it had arrived! I had my fingers crossed pretty heavily that it wouldn't show up in a big goopy melted chocolate mess, so PHEWW.

The green tea kit kats are amazing, I have two left which I'm rationing out because I don't know if I can live without them at my fingertips.
