A store selling Asian groceries has opened one minute’s walk from the school, above the post office! They sell vegetables and frozen foods too, and the spacious interior made everything easy to find. I asked the shop staff for a recommended snack. The one in the photo is a Vietnamese soft candy. This soft candy is made from young glutinous rice. It has a light sweetness and a nostalgic taste. Many international students use shops like this when they first arrive in the country. Hachioji has several stores like this within the city, so it can be said to be a comfortable place for foreigners to live.
