It is time for Christians to exchange Christmas greeting cards.
Here in Japan, we have similar custom to exchange New Year's Cards.
Many Japanese people buy New Year's cards with lottery numbers at the post office, while others buy blank post cards, and print photos or pictures of their own.
As New Year's cards are best to arrive on the New Year's Day, post offices encourage people to post the cards by a certain date every year.
The number of New Year's cards they have to handle is tremendous. Some send only 20-30 cards,and others send as many as some hundred.
今日は・・銭函にあるZenibako style cafe’さんのChristmas 楽市に行ってきた!
お友達のJEANS SHOP LOKKIが出店するということで☆
Pizza is a popular Italian food in Japan, and this time, I would like to introduce a pizza topped with a Japanese food "Mochi" or rice cake and flaked crab.
Rice cake stretches by heat like cheese does, and its chewy texture is somewhat similar to cheese. Crab meat seasoned with mayonnaise goes well with Mochi,too.
You can enjoy this unique pizza at the restaurant "Verre Bois" near JR Minami Otaru Station.
They also have several different pizzas and pasta menu.
When Christmas comes near, advertisement blitz by confectionary makers starts in Japan.
Although Christian population in Japan is said only 1%, most other non-Christian Japanese, especially children like to enjoy Christmas as a joyful event.
Christmas for the Japanese seems that it is the day to eat beautifully-decorated Christmas cake, and exchange gifts.
Therefore, cake shops provide leaflets and brochures to attract customers' attention with their cakes made specially for Christmas. Advertisement for Christmas cake can also be seen on TV.
