And sunkus to you too my good man


These adorable little creatures were pork-and-tofu-skin hot buns I bought at and then consumed immediately outside Sunkus, the erstwhile-ly mysteriously named convenience store.

I say erstwhile-ly because once again Toshi has shed light onto the darkness of my confusion. Japanese speakers pronounce it san-koo-soo, which sounds like "Thanks" to them, which at least makes some sense. However, their logo is still kind of creepy to me.

Piggies in a wrap!
Their website has more oh-really-who-cares kind of explanations of their name and the logo (only available in Japanese):
