sechan19With the end of the month approaching, I began a vigilant watch of the 100-yen-store and its surrounding environs. My diligence is paying off. The 100-yen-store appears to be displaying maneuvers directly preceding a change back to a discount store. There are signs similar to the ones I saw when I first visited posted all over the exterior of the building. From what I can tell, the switch will happen at the upcoming weekend. I’m taking photographs of the various stages, and will also note the duration of the change (for, you know, posterity and stuff) when it finally occurs.
Exciting times in my little slice of Tokyo.
In other news, I took the advice of my friend Eunja and bought a package of easy-make curry roux. I picked up a box of the medium spicy, and last night found me in my dorm room puzzling over the Japanese directions and accompanying explanatory drawings. Eventually, I figured out that I wanted to half the amount if I was to have any hope of eating the stuff on my own and did so accordingly.
It was still too much.
I ate part of it, put more into tupperware, and ultimately (in great shame) was forced to pour a bit of the broth down the sink because I had neither the fridge space nor the stomach space for the rest. But it sure was tasty. I added potato, carrot, and garlic, and served it over brown rice, and the spicy was just right. Yum!
Next time I'll halve the half and see where that gets me.
Updates about my Nasushiobara trip will resume after the weekend...
