Last week, I got a surprise email from somebody I lived with at Ebisu’s – all the way back when I first moved to Japan. So, we decided to meet up and as Monday was a holiday with a special free event sponsored by Kyoto Prefecture going on in the Botanical Gardens, this is where we went.
It was lovely to reminiscence a little and talk about the old days and what the future might bring too (maybe she’ll be back in Japan soon?) All the while, we were taking in the scenery. I love the Botanical Gardens!
And, I got a lovely present: Chocolates! I’m not a big fan of dark chocolate, it’s too bitter for me in general. However, there is this exception: Le Daniel Chocolates from Rennes. I have no idea what they are doing, but their chocolates are fabulous, super smooth, not bitter at all, and the fillings… absolutely scrumptious!
And for once, I even managed not to eat the whole box in one go. It seems I’m getting better at restraining myself. Finally.
