Just came back from shopping for tonight and New Year's day.
Me and my friend went to the second biggest market street in Kobe, and that was the area I used to live during 1998 to 2007.
I walked the street which the apartment where I first lived in Kobe was located, and I met my landlord there!!!
It was nice surprise! She was like my Kobe mom, and I was happy to meet her.
My English was so awful, I was trying to say that "she was my ex landlord", though I couldn't say "landlord" correct;y. 
Japanese TOFU shops are great, and I love them. I can get fresh soy milk, or soy milk with black sesame.
Many kinds of TOFU, chicken meat pate with TOFU and vegetables, fried TOFU / ATSAGE, and their products are so natural and organic. I love TOFU at the shops, better than ones at supermarket.
As I wrote, this is the second biggest, though the arcade is sooooo narrow. We can get fresh KOBE BEEF, fresh and alive fish, organic vegetables, and many delicatessens. I used to buy things here instead of supermarket, and this was 5 minutes walk from where I used to live. I was lucky.
OMOCHI /
Now I'm living on the other side of Kobe downtown, and there is the biggest market in my area!
But this is too huge, and sometimes I get lost there!. lol
I hope you all will enjoy a New Year's Eve and New Years Day!!!
