Those of you following @grabyourfork on twitter will have noticed a sporadic stream of photos. If you're not on twitter, here's a brief update on a few things I've seen so far...

Today's Osaka find. Soft boiled eggs from the convenience store!
Probs with kids not eating their meals? That's because you're not serving it in the right dinnerware! I want!
Sapporo. One word: amazing. The major ice sculpture is incredibly detailed.
Did someone say they wanted a giant chocolate eclair? Try this 50cm long version - Sapporo, Japan.
For the gaming geeks: Final Fantasy Elixir. In shops everywhere.
This is what cocoa drinks promise to do to you in Japan. I feel dizzy already.
King crab at Nijo fish market, Sapporo. They're big.
The ice sculptures and Susikino, Sapporo Snow Festival. Clear ice carved with chainsaws.
We're having a blast. Hope you're eating well too :)
