Cookies instead of Souvenirs

Momiji

When the Japanese go on holiday they bring food (cookies especially) back to friends and coworkers instead of souvenirs. This is more practical and it gives the others a taste of the vacation (literally). Miyajima and Hiroshima are famous for their cookies. Momiji is very delicious and comes with a variety of fillings (chocolate, red bean, cream, etc...)
