Small phones, smaller cakes
09/16/2006 @ 6:00 pm
Japan has really small cell phones!
But the desserts are even smaller. . .
There’s nothing more disappointing than finding a great deal such as… Pasta dinner set for just 1500 yen! Salad, Pasta, Drink, and dessert! Great!
Then the cheese cake arrives. Or, what will be a cheese cake when it grows up.
Cheese cake this size wouldn’t survive two normal sized-bites. Staying in Japan for so long though has taught me to eat my cheese cake sliver by miniscule sliver. If you plan it right, you can nurse your cheese cake through a two hour dinner.
Of course. There are some exceptions, not all Japanese desserts are small.
Check out this giant kakigouri found in Kyoto!

These small Japanese cell phones must be all be in the same town as those fast-walking Japanese people I keep hearing about. I hope to sight one before I die.
