There is a candy shop a two-minute walk from the school. A dagashi shop sells snacks for children. The sweets cost 10 yen, 20 yen, and other prices that kids can afford. The dagashi are illustrated with scenes from Momotaro (a Japanese folktale), images of maneki-neko (traditional beckoning cat ornaments), and festival happi coats, so visitors can learn about Japanese culture. The other day, during a break in class, I gave the students some dagashi as a gift and they were very happy. They especially loved the candies that crackled and popped in their mouths!
