For-Chan Cookie
Here's a list of things I tried...which now that I look at it is surprisingly long O_O
Like just about everyone else in the universe, I've tried pocky. When I first heard about it, I didn't believe that it could really be so addictive, but it is. It's fun and tastey. I've tried quite a few kinds, but strawberry remains my firm favorite.
I've also had pretz. I love tomato pretz! It's just as addictive as pocky, but is more for those who like a more savory snack.
How about Caplico? Anyone had that? It's like a small narrow ice cream cone with chocolate fillings. They were really good. I always buy some when I see them now. Dare I say that I like them more than pocky?
Yan Yan is a biscuit stick that you dip in gooey frostingy stuff. It's yummy. I always end up with leftover frosting that I just eat with my finger ^_^
How about Meiji candies? You can usually find an assortment pack of five small boxes. All five of them are so good! I'm more partial to the choco babies and the smooth strawberry shelled candy. They're like strawberry M&MS, but better!
Poiful is a yummy Japanese gummy-type jelly bean. They're nice and fruity.
Meltykiss is a nice melt in your mouth treat. I love it when chocolate melts in my mouth as smooth as this.
Pucca was ok, I prefer Koalas ^_^
Lotte's Koala Cookies are awesome. I love the strawberry ones! Are we seeing a trend here? I'm really fond of the strawberry flavored things ^_^ I can get chocolate here any old day, but strawberry, mmmmm. Anyway, these guys are so cute, I love popping them in my mouth and eating their heads! O_O!
Bontan Ame Rice Candy has the honor of being the first Japanese sweet I ever tried and to this day I am still very partial to them ^__^
For the life of me, I could not get my first Ramune Soda open by myself. My cousin had to do it for me -_-; Despite all the effort to get in, it was pretty good. Not the best, but not bad either. Of course, I think I had more fun with the bottle afterwards than anything else xd
Vegita-Beta is an orange non-carbonated apricot-flavored drink with beta-carotene. I thought it was tastey.
Most recently, in San Francisco, I got to try mochi ice cream and plain old mochi. I am in love. The texture is so different, but it's really good. I've also tried several hard and gummi candies on a recent stay in New York. Snacks are always fun to try. ^_^
And now, things I tried and didn't like. Green Tea ice cream. I tried it, and the flavor was just too weird for me. It might have been just that particular brand, but I don't really see myself trying it again.
Someone once gave me a sheet of seaweed to munch on. Ugh. Dry seaweed is totally not for me.
Things I won't attempt to try: Wasabi peas. They scare me O_o
Anyway, there's my incredibly long list of stuff! I got a lot of help naming and linking to stuff from Japanesesnacks.com. So now, start talking about your favorite Japanese snacks. ^__^
