Yasuhiro had been avoiding this part of town since he heard of the dangers of the Unicorn. After all he had no intention of worsening relationships between the two empires. He needed to learn more about them, if only a little though, so he set out to do that this morning.

It helped that there were a few odds and ends he wanted to pick up, and they have one or the larger shopping districts in the city. Wandering the area of the hoof he kept a eye open to what was going on around him. He didn't wish to be caught off guard after all.

It was a calm day this early in the morning for the market, the vendors only just starting to set up shop. The chaos of the day would soon reach this area as the city started to rise, but this time, however, was the prime chance for a consumer to have their way with the market free of the crowd and the dangers.

A man catches your interest, selling food to the other vendors. It looks to be some sort of bread dish that many of them are seemingly enjoying. "Ensaïmada!" He shouts to the others around him, some coming over more eager than others. "Baked fresh from my wife herself!"

The Lion had no idea of what it might be,other then some sort of bread. Seeing how interested others were he decided to approach on his own. Bread probably wouldn't have anything unclean about it, at least he hoped.

Walking towards the vendor, he waited for his turn before raising a hand with one finger. "One, please." He offered simply in his heavily accented Merenese.

He smiled and looked to the nice man. He stopped his small cart and took out one of the rolls. It's a roll with seemingly no meat on from the looks of it. Actually from the smell of it, as you approach, it seems rather sweet.

"Cost you half a real, Señor." He keeps the roll into his hand. "Ever eaten a Ensaïmada?"

Honestly it seemed more then a little expensive, but the Lion decided to hand over the money regardless. "No. Never had before," He answered easily, not even attempting to say the weird gaijin name for the product.

"Well then, I am honored that my wife's dish should be your first, Rokugan." He smiles and prepares the bread itself with a powered top. "It's stuffed with a turrón filling, which is honey, sugar, and eggs. Very sweet and very filling with some nuts mixed in. Also has it baked in with some shahim to give it extra flavor for the dough."

As he takes the money, he hands over the bread plate, eagerly awaiting your first bite and your reaction.

The man was a bit creepy, with the wide smile and expectant stare. For a few moments Yasuhiro considered not trying it at all. At last he relented, giving the pastry a try.

After a few curious moments he gave a nod of approval. "Is good." It was a sweet not a meal item, but it was good.

The smile on his face seemingly meets his eyes. "Good, good. It's sneaky, though. It will fill you up if you eat it too quickly." He grins. "Tastes very good if you take it with coffee, señor. Flavors mix together and acts like a full meal." Looking over at some other people in the corner, he gives you a affirmation your response as he picks up his cart in proceeding to move onward. location.

"Hopefully you'll try again later; I come this route every morning. The shopkeepers love my wife's ensaïmada."

He probably wouldn't the meal was good, but coffee was pretty terrible, and honestly the Matsu didn't do much in the way of shopping. Giving a dip of his head in place of a bow to the shopkeeper he went back to his shopping. Eating the strange morning sweet as he walked.
