It was unfortunate that my Japan trip was cancelled this past weekend so I decided to try to do a makeup session with a picnic with Japanese eats at home. S.O. and I went to Nijiya to buy our picnic goods that included: Kalgi Beef Bento Box: this one was surprisingly delicious, the meat was very tasty and the marinated sauce used was delicious.

California Rolls Wakame Salad Spicy Tuna Onigiri: S.O. didn't quite like the hot sauce used for the tuna.

Definitely will come back for Japanese snacks...

The female cashier asked me if I wanted a bag, and I told her I didn't. She might not have heard me or accidentally place my items in a bag. I told her again that I didn't want a bag. She glanced at the computer, and I believe she knew she had already charged me for the bag, but she didn't show any intention of refunding me or voiding the transaction. Whether it was intentional or careless, the service was unacceptable. When I went back to inquire, the female cashier had already...
