I follow Chris Butcher’s blog, where is has lately been posting photos from his travels all over Japan. They are mostly things that occur in my daily life, so I will try to fit a few more similar things onto the net. If you come to Japan, please find these things and try them yourself!
My most recent favorite snack is strawberry-flavored Caramel Corn. These are light sweet puffs that melt in your mouth. There are more flavors but I never take the opportunity to try them when strawberry is on the shelf. Only 100 yen!!
Usually I love to buy Osatsu. Osatsu are a winter-season chip that taste like sugary sweet potato. In the summer I rarely find this treat but if I do, I’ll buy five. There is a maple flavor available, but it is disgusting. Only 100 yen!!
These are little more expensive: Jagabee fake french fries. They are like artificial french fries that taste like the best french fries you’ve ever had. The consistency is different: crispier and denser than a real potato wedge. You won’t believe how good it is until you’ve tried it. One cup is only 130 yen!!! A box is like 500 yen.
