So two days ago I decided to head over to
Torrance to check out the
Mitsuwa market. The one near my house is very small so I never really find anything much. It's definitely 5-6x bigger than the one near my house.

There's a food court and a bookstore. I checked out the bookstore to see if there were any magazines I wanted to pick up, but I didn't really want to fork over $10 per magazine. I remember in my early high school years Japanese magazines use to be only $5-6. I miss those days :( Anyhow, the market was really nice. There was 4 rows of snacks&
candys galore. The beauty section was decent, but I wish it was a little bigger.

I picked up a liquid eyeliner, which was on sale and some serum-less facial masks. I thought I would try using them with homemade masks that were more
liquidy. I also got some Pineapple candy. I absolutely love pineapple flavored candy. I am not sure what it is but they are just oh so yummy. Finally, I picked up two drinks. The
Gokuri Peach can was too cute. I pretty much bought it for the can. It has subtle heart designs in the black background. Finally, I got the
Pokka Pineapple jelly drink. I got this because I have heard about the
Fanta Shaka carbonated jelly drink from Japan that a lot of people claimed to be quite good. However, the drink can be only found in Japan so when I saw this I immediately grabbed it.

The "directions" are on the back. You have to shake it to sort of mix up the jelly so it's not one giant clump in the bottle. If you don't, only some juice will come out! The drink itself is quite strange. It took me a few sips to get use to. I definitely wish it was more carbonated though. I think it would of tasted better. I wonder if the
Fanta version is better? I am not sure how I feel about it yet. I originally was going to take pictures of the drink, but it didn't really show up on camera. Perhaps I will do a video the next time I get one of the other flavors for my boyfriend to try.
Anyhow, I will be at Universal Studios Hollywood tomorrow with a few of my friends because one of them got some free tickets. So perhaps more pictures to come?
