Because she saw us introducing a new product, she specially brought a new product for us to try and see. When you open it , you can see that it feels very hot inside . I really didn’t make any effort just now , I just put a little bit on it and it was very hydrating, so I feel that the amount of it is quite economical. When I pat it on lightly , I feel that it has strong concealing power. Then as soon as I pat it on, the tangy fragrance of the whole rose comes over. Well, the one I picked up is the brightest shade. It may look a little inconsistent with the color of my skin , but you can feel that it is very dewy and has a bit of pearlescence in it.

Another famous dessert here in Kyoto is the Matcha Parfait Warabi Mochi . It is very rich and you can tell at a glance that its texture is very dense. Generally speaking, Matcha may taste sweet. It feels a bit like adding some sugar. It feels like it has a natural sweetness . You can still taste the aroma of tea. Let me pair it with a small cake. After adding the cake, it can neutralize the taste of matcha , so it can be paired together. To eat , the other thing we ordered was their warabi mochi . Their warabi mochi is freshly made, so it will be very chewy when picked up. The way to eat it is also very special , that is, pick up the warabi mochi one by one and put it on their After the soybean flour is added, add this black honey and mix it bit by bit before eating. In fact, this is the first time I have eaten Kyoto’s warabi mochi . If you are an elder, you really have to eat it slowly. It is soaked in warm water, so it tastes warm. It is paired with soybean powder and black honey. I think it is quite a special experience. You can try it when you come to Kyoto . This warabi cake is made of their natural arrowroot powder, so it maintains the original color of the arrowroot powder. The current DIESEL is also a very popular brand in recent years because many girls in Korean groups wear their clothes, so recently This brand is becoming more and more popular . This brand actually started out by making jeans, so you can see a lot of jeans with washed or special designs on their counters. In recent years, in addition to jeans, they have also launched many small items such as bags or bags. Although this floor of clothes with their logo is mainly men's clothing , there are quite a lot of gadgets that girls should like, so I will take you to browse them now. Their hat is quite unisex and should be worn by both boys and girls. Minmin. Look, I was already looking at this cabinet just now. This little waste bag is so cute. It 's super cute and the price is surprisingly affordable, so it's OK . After everyone's tax refund, it should be very cost-effective . Now I'm here on the 5th floor of the main building .
