A few weeks ago, friend's daughter and grand-daughters were visiting New York from Tokyo. I heard about them before, but that was the first time I spent short time with them. They brought me a souvenir. It was a box of assorted rice crackers in many shapes specially made for summer.
They were too cute to eat, so naturally I had to take photos of it before I finish.

You know how important packageing is for Japanese. But this one was so well designed almost too perfect.
As you can see above, some of them were shaped like
sliced watermelon, Gold -fish.
One of them had a painting of Morning glory.
They are symbol of Summer.
By the way miniature UCHIWA (round shaped paper fan)
which is always very useful for Hot Summer Nights was Menu.
Even I finished tasting all of them, Box and Menu is still here.
