Today we have a lot of fun in store! It’s rainy, and going to the park is not an option. BUT, we have a party pack of Nuru Nuru. Nuru Nuru meaning swirling swirling (sort of.) Now maybe you have seen these before in a smalle pack, but with 3 kids, on a rainy day, […]
Today we will be reviewing Lotte’s Baked Cheese Tart flavor CRUNKY bar. As with all CRUNKY bars, there is a crunch added. A simple, crunchy, chocolate bar. The flavor of baked cheese tart changes this bar completely . It’s actually impressive. You really taste the baked cheese. Not normal cheese, but cheese that has experienced […]
The fall version of パイの実(Pie no Mi) is Apple Pie. And I favor myself as somewhat of a connoisseur of apples being from Washington state, the apple capital of the world! Well at least the apple capital of the USA. Apple pies are an American tradition. It is even often rumored that Americans have apple […]
Yamazaki Pan has a large selection of delicious, crust free sandwiches. They range in many different flavors. Hopefully someday we can cover them all, but for today, we will be reviewing a seasonal one that I doubt many of you have seen. さくら(Sakura) and 抹茶(Matcha). This is a typical spring flavor, and we see this […]
Taro Friends is a group of snack products made by Kado. They are all super cheap snacks, and have interesting flavors, that tend to be very Japanese specific. This bag is “M” sized. So we don’t get to meet all the friends, but still, it’s an interesting package. These snacks are what would be considered […]

But let’s briefly touch on the etymology of this flavor. “甘熟いちご” (Kanjyuku Ichigo) As we know, ichigo is strawberry. But this Kanjyuku is interesting. 完熟(Kanjyuku) translates to “ripe” or better yet, […]
What a great day, when you get the oppertunity to enjoy a Japanese Kit-Kat! Today we are going to be trying out the こだわりのストロベリー(kodawari no strawberry) flavor from the オトナの甘さ(Otona no amasa) series. Let’s get the translation out of the way first, so you get a better idea of what this Kit-Kat is all about! […]
Man, oh man did I kill that title. But it is what is. Nobel is bringing us 男梅, or Otoko Ume. Otoko meaning Male, and Ume being the pickled sour plum that is so popular in Japan. A better translation would be “The manly Ume-Egg.” But I digress, and let’s look into this product a […]
What a fun name for a company! ‘Banjo’. I’m not sure if there is any meaning behind the name, or if they are just named after the country sounding instrument. I had never heard of this company, but when I saw the salad dressing, I knew it was something I had to try! I love […]
So yeah, I’m taking a break in a convenience store right now to bring you this review.. Need some protein as well, so let’s try out Asahi’s protein bar. I have 2, but only the stomach for one, so the chocolate will have to wait for another day, and today we will try the cereal, […]
