Having a tea break just after finished a little work.
Today, I am drinking "TEKKAN'ON" which is top grade of Chinese OOLONG-tea. Tasty. The snack what I am eating is "UMERAKKA" produced by "MAMEGEN" in "AZABUJUBAN". This snack is made of Peanut with "UMEBOSHI" flavor. Not sweet. It is good for both of tea and alchohol kinds. "MAMEGEN" is a very long-established beans-snack company since 1865.

仕事の区切りがいいところでお茶の時間中。
今日は「鉄観音(てっかんのん)」を炒れて飲んでる。これは烏龍茶の高級銘柄でとても美味しい。お茶のあてに食べているのは、麻布十番(あざぶじゅうばん)の老舗「豆源(まめげん)」のスナック「梅落花(うめらっか)」。このスナックはピーナツを使った「梅干し(うめぼし)」の風味がつけられたもの。甘くなくて、お酒にもお茶にもあう。「豆源(まめげん)」は、創業1865年の豆菓子専門の老舗。

    Ah UMERAKKA looks like a austerely elegant snack!
    Uhhhh! I was at a loss very much what I should call " SIBUI ” in English.

    あー・・・良い意味での「渋い」って英語でなんて表現すればいいのかとても悩みましたw

    I've never tried those two flavors together. Peanut and umeboshi... I like both, so together must be OISHII.

    I see you've been inspired by @hatchan to start talking in several languages. I think this is very helpful and I can maybe learn more Japanese. So please keep doing it、 お願い!

    looks rather lovely :) And I've been educated in some Japanese snackage, I feel like I've learned something rather special which is lovely :D And like person above said, it's good to see both languages written out ^_^

    ooOOoo. I'll probably be staying in Roppongi when I visit so maybe I'll make a quick trip Mamegen.

    I love trying new things. I've never heard of anything you are describing - I'd love to find out where I could try things like that here.
