To Tokoroten or not to Tokoroten...

'Tokoroten' is a snack that consists of thin jelly strips. It is eaten cold with a watery vinegar dressing. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet... it's pretty healthy and, in this heat, a refreshing snack (and appetite suppressor, I think). However, the vinegar is a little off-putting, but it's super fun to eat. Hmm... I'm totally undecided on this one. (Which is a bad thing, because I bought six packs of tokoroten because it's really cheap and a good alternative to the fried snacks that always seem to be lingering outsider me doorway.)

Tokoroten...



It looks a little like worms...


And the vinegar tastes a little grassy...


But it's so fun to eat!


Hmmm... undecided, especially given my stomach ache from slurping it too fast.
