I swear that's the first time I had ever seen them there. Our whole family was excited to try them, as we had seen them on TV on a travel show from Japan. They were good but I would have preferred it without the thin sauce on top, which made them somewhat soggy.Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390944490265195300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-83280182429717364382009-09-14T09:00:48.854-07:002009-09-14T09:00:48.854-07:00Thanks James again for turning me on to them!
