Hakone Onsen treat

​My Japanese instructor went back home on a family trip, and she brought back omiyage from Hakone Onsen! So here's a cute Hakone shortbread cookie with a little puff of hot steam on the "Hako" kanji.

Sanshoku dango (tricolour dango)

Not long after I posted about the kintsuba from Kusatsu Onsen, I was in the local Asian grocery store and found sanshoku dango (tricolour dango), also known as hanami dango when they're eaten in cherry blossom season. Since the student council hair colours are an obvious match for the dango, I thought I'd post pictures of them here as well.

I ate mine with plain gunpowder green tea. They're certainly worth purchasing, if you happen to find them in a store!

Kintsuba from Kusatsu Onsen

I was lucky enough to spend several days in Kusatsu Onsen this past October, and one of the souvenirs I bought while I was there was a box of kintsuba, a Japanese sweet snack made with adzuki beans or bean paste coated in a thin batter. (Here's a sample recipe for it.) Since it's one of Kinshirou's preferred foods, from his namesake onsen, I thought I'd share a few pictures of it here!

I had my kintsuba with a cup of lavender sencha, which helped to brighten up the heavy, grassy aroma of the sweet. I think the Student Council would approve!

DWRP

Hello :D Since we have this nice comm set up, I thought I'd ask if anyone would be interested in Boueibu RP on Dreamwidth.

I have muses for Atsushi and En, and would love to play against any Boueibu characters. There aren't many to be found in DWRP, and all the ones I've seen are accounts people take out occasionally for memes, but don't have the time or inclination to devote lots of attention to.

In particular, an En for my Atsushi or vice versa would be beyond incredible. Getting something like that going, with or without shipping, would be a dream come true tbh. But honestly I'm down for almost anything, except like... ships outside the Kinatsuen umbrella and a few miscellaneous plot turnoffs. I'd just really like to RP with these two. It's like when you have a plot bunny for a fic and it won't leave you alone, except with RP.

If you've never RPed on DW (or LJ, IJ, &c) before, that's fine. It's easy to get into, probably easier than it looks, and I'll talk you through it if you want. If you make a strong case, I might consider going off-site, but I'm really most comfortable RPing here so you'll have to be very convincing :D

I can provide samples if you want to see how I play them, though the threads that aren't locked aren't terribly serious, since they're all either tfln memes (semi-crack text message format, basically, if you're not familiar with DWRP) or from [community profile] dear_player.
