Sweets, cont'd: biscuits (above) and manju (below) featuring the generally likeable governor of Osaka Hirofumi Yoshimura (吉村 洋文) who, incidentally, is older than he looks (i.e. 48) and a disclaimer that he doesn't have any financial gain from his likeness being used in these products. The cookies were good, BTW.
