Dark Chocolate Pino

by Tom on January 20th, 2008

Pino are a classic Japanese ice cream.  Typically vanilla ice cream shaped like a tiny fez covered in chocolate.  This week I discovered dark chocolate Pino and was very happy.  There is nothing particularly unusual about the ice cream or the chocolate but they make studying Japanese Kanji (as you can see behind the box in the photo) so much more relaxing.  A box of six Pino like this costs about 100 Yen and will get me through about half an hour of Kanji before I have to go searching for more snacks.  I think that snacks and study go hand in hand.  The more snacks, the longer I can study and so the better the results.  Thanks you Pino!
