Isetan Kyushu Fair

#1 Mixed milk and goma soft serve from Aso natural ice-cream ($4)
Cold, smooth goodness in a crisp wafer cone, with the nutty aroma of black sesame balanced out by the creaminess of the milk flavor.

#2 Octopus takoyaki from Nakayama Shokuhin ($6.50 for six)
I have yet to try Gindako Takoyaki due to the perenially long queue. Though not mind-blowingly good, these were the best takoyaki that I have had. Knowing that they're best consumed when warm, I simply stood at an empty spot next to the escalator, whipped out a pair of disposable chopsticks, and plopped these soft and fluffy octopus balls into my mouth, one by one. Not at all greasy, each takoyaki ball was stuffed with a large piece of tako. (That's why it's called takoyaki!) All six of them, gone in a few minutes- I'm a fast eater.

#3 And to end off, (really) 100% natural mango juice from Miyazaki Fruit Juice. A thick and pure dose (though pricey at $5 a cup) of vitamin C.
