Ryukakusan Direct

Ryukakusan is a throat medicine that has been used for over 200 years in Japan to treat coughs, phlegm, and throat pain. The Ryukakusan brand is now releasing a new granule-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Stick” and a lozenge-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Lozenge.” The stick-type version comes in peach and mint flavors.

Ryukakusan is one of the medicines I always buy when I visit a drugstore in Japan. I usually get the mint or peach flavor. When my throat feels a little dry and itchy, I take one packet with water. It leaves my throat feeling cool, and after a while, it doesn't feel as uncomfortable. But it is still medicine, so anyone thinking of buying it should consider whether it's suitable for them and be careful not to take too much.
Sapporo Agricultural College Hokkaido Milk Cookies

Hokkaido, is Japan’s beloved “kingdom of dairy”, an apt nickname due to its booming dairy industry. Outside of the sheer production volume of milk and butter, the quality and flavor of Hokkaido’s dairy products are heralded by many as some of the best in Japan.

Sapporo Agricultural College has shops at both Fukuoka Airport and New Chitose Airport. These cookies have a rich milky flavor and are crisp without being too sweet. People who like handmade cookies will probably really enjoy these.

This is the cheesecake I had while shopping at the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse in Hakodate. If you eat it there, it comes with a cup of black coffee, and you can stand in the space behind the counter and enjoy it at your leisure.
I have to say, this pairing is really good. Especially when you're a little tired after walking around for a while, one cheesecake with a soft, creamy center that melts in your mouth makes all the fatigue disappear instantly.
Also, the black coffee isn't too bitter, so even I, who normally don't drink much black coffee, enjoyed it. (By the way, the logo tag stuck into the cake apparently can be used as a spoon.) Their cheesecakes come in many flavors, but for me, the original was already very satisfying. If I get another chance to go, I'd like to try the chocolate flavor.
Houkiboshi “Brown Sugar Cannelés – 10-Piece Set”

The most popular item from Houkiboshi, Okinawa’s first specialty shop dedicated to Brown Sugar Cannelés, is this delightful 10-piece set. Made with premium brown sugar from Tarama Island, each bite offers a rich depth of flavor and an elegant sweetness. The exterior is perfectly crisp, while the inside remains soft and chewy.

The cannelés were so small that I finished them in no time, so all I have left is this flyer. Their cannelés are really beautiful—so beautiful that I wanted to buy several more boxes—but they’re also really expensive. The texture was average, and the outside wasn’t very crisp, but they make up for it with their cute appearance. They’re still worth buying if you visit Okinawa.

I don't know if it's because this PARCO is mostly high-end boutiques, but AEON Mall feels more fun to browse. Still, there are cute shisa here, so I recommend stopping by. The shisa here are even tan versions, and they're really super cute.
