I wanted to shop at Marukai, because it’s cheaper than Mitsuwa, enough to justify the small $10 annual fee. So I downloaded MARUKAI_APRICATION.pdf (ha) and dropped in today to get my card. Some trophies from the visit:

I’ve been obsessed with the word “crunk” ever since it turned up as a sound effect in The Beano comic in the 80s.

Crunky’s so fucking good.
Find a can of Bubble Man II soda though, if only for the design on the can. And the fact that soda can have a sequel.

the best product i’ve seen at a japanese market was “creaming soda”. i was too hesitant to give it a try , but apparently it was bursting with flavor.
