I received a care package full of edible Japanese and Taiwanese goodies from my aunt in Nagano today. Just in time for the 4th of July. Happy birthday America! 
Left: Oyaki おやき (buckwheat flour pies filled with various vegetable fillings, a specialty of Nagano)
Top-Center: Zongzi 粽子(Taiwanese sticky rice dumplings steamed in bamboo leaves, similar to tamales but with sticky rice instead of masa and bamboo leaves instead of corn husks)
Bottom-Center: Jiaozi/Gyoza 餃子 (dumplings filled with meat and vegetable, panfried or boiled, eaten in both Taiwan and Japan)
Top-Right: Gongwan 貢丸 (Taiwanese pork meaballs)
Bottom-Right: Taiwanese savory taro and rice cakes (I don’t think I have had these before, look good though!)

Hi, I found came across your blog while browsing through Technorati. I just wanted to leave a comment to say that the food you got really does look good! I remember how great it was to get care packages like that in the mail. Bon appetit!
