If I gifted you everything in Japan, what reason would we have to do a girls’ trip there someday???

Lady Lotus,
I’m particularly concerned that I too have not received a Chinese 5 Spice Gord from you!!!

hmmm, Lady Lotus. I’m not quite understanding why I haven’t been gifted a cute little gourd container filled with Chinese Five Spice from Japan.

In Japan, Chinese 5-spice is sold in cute little gourd containers outside of Buddhist temples and Shinto Shrines during festivals. Mind is adorable!

Thanks Mary
I actually buy mine at Kalustyans http://www.kalustyans.com/ in NYC, very fresh and cheaper than traditional grocery stores.

Five Spice powder is great–you can also get it in a Chinese grocery store or a Thai market. Thanks for reminding me about these flavors.
