This man is scary-looking, and very grumpy, and very serious. But his sole job tonight is to sell little Doraemon and Hello Kitty-shaped donuts at a local holiday festival. You should see him flip them over in that little baking machine of his. He's very professional about it. Even though he didn't say a word to me as I bought a bag of 30 Kittys for 500 yen, deep inside I think he's a softie. When I asked him if I could take pictures, he grunted yes. Thanks sweet man!

I assume that the bottom picture is of the grumpy man?

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Those donuts look delicious.

Hmm. You weren't perchance at Senso-ji as well? We bought some and tragically got a "Beating Victim Doraemon" donut. His tasty head looked like it had been staved in with an axe handle.
Anyway, here's to another year of blogging! And every time you link to the Mainichi it makes me feel warm inside :D

Nope, I was at some place near Nihombashi. Do you work for Mainichi Rog?

Well, you know. When I'm not using my atomic breath to RAIN FIERY DESTRUCTION on downtown Tokyo.
Wait, that was Godzilla.
No, I just do the Mainichi thing.
