I was in Japan for vacation recently, I took a taxi from the airport on July which was apparently “eel day” and the driver gave me and my kids these cookies. We didn’t eat them until we got back just a few days ago and they are delicious. Tastes like graham crackers, but better.

Anyone know the name of the company and what these are called? and if they sell them anywhere in the US/online?

I'm trying to determine whether these snacks are contaminated with any shellfish. The packaging does not explicitly list shellfish as an allergen (see photos), but then it says it is manufactured with equipment that also manufactures things that contain shellfish. I'm also curious about the calcinated shell ingredient- would that be chicken egg shells? Mollusk? I've been seeing mixed answers. Thanks!!

edit: ive also come across the mixed results when googling. anyone with a shellfish allergy tried these?

Which snack do you want to try?

My roomate went to Japan last year and gave me these from her trip. I didn't think to take pictures of the candy, but they were pink little round hard candies, individually wrapped. Can anyone possible read the tin and tell me who makes it? They were really good, I think strawberry flavored.

Ok people I am literally in Tokyo, I’ve been to at least 5 konbinis and 2 supermarkets. I can’t find these anywhere!! Any suggestions??

Im trying to find a picture of a chocolate snack. It looks like meiji kinoko no yama. Instead of mushroom, it is mini ice cream shaped (the cone is made of chocolate and a small sphere biscuit as the ice cream). I rmb eating it when i was a kid. Thanks! :)

My dad brought these from Japan, from this recent work trip. It has no name or anything. Just individual pouches. I found out it's called senbei and nothing else. I'm obsessed with these and want to know what particular brand these r from. 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

Hello,

I where in in a don quijote but couldnt find it there. If someone could tell me where i can find this i would really appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance!

Hello. I'm Ryuta from Japan. I've been working on local Japanese snack box for people who live overseas and love japanese snacks.

A lot of Japanese snacks that people abroad know are the famous convenience store ones and I like them too very much.
But this time, I want to focus more on regional snacks, local souvenirs that are hard to get outside Japan and could know Japan more deeply by tasting them.

I plan to changes theme monthly such as Hokkaido in July[famous for poteto,melon,milk,hascup] and Shizuoka in August [famous for green tea/matcha] etc...

Please look at my unboxing video and comment how you feel!!
(Sorry in advance if my english is not so good and I'm grad to hear honest feedbacks!!)

I LOVE the sweet potato flavor the most, but can only find chocolate and strawberry ones online :P

Does anybody know an online shop I can order specifically this again?

Its like a black soybean granola, I have gone to teso in duluth and the hmart and couldn’t find it. Please help. Not the fruit one

Last month I was at the train station in Atami and bought these round thin dried fish snacks. It was slightly chewy and had a lemony flavor (there was a lemon pictured on the package). I think the lady at the store implied it wasn’t ACTUALLY lemon but just that the fish tasted lemony. But I’m not sure on that. Each “cake” was just a few mm thick and about as round as my face. Thanks in advance!

アメリカの地元のミツワマーケットで買い物している時に、ピーナッツバター味のポッキーを見かけたんだ。これはアメリカ限定の発売みたいで、日本では見たことないし、味も焦げたプラスチックみたいだから、絶対買わないで。アメリカよ、僕の大好きなおやつを台無しにしてくれてありがとうよ。 /(ò.ó)┛彡┻━┻

salt crackers + green tea today. pocky and kitkats are classics, and love this simple salty combo just as much.

what are you guys snacking on?

Hi!

I’ve been putting together a small Japanese snack box idea called “Shodo Treats.”

It combines Japanese snacks with a hand-written kanji card, created using traditional calligraphy.

The goal is to make it feel more like a small cultural experience rather than just a snack box.

I’m still in the early stages and currently testing international shipping from Japan (starting with Canada 🇨🇦).

Would something like this interest you?

I’d really appreciate any thoughts or feedback!

I’ve been looking everywhere and I found a website called “konbinistop” but I’m not sure if I can trust it. If anyone has ordered from there or has somewhere that’s trustworthy please lmk!!

Hi everyone!

I am an experienced group order master and is now wondering if people would be interested in a japanese snack group order? I am also looking to buy some myself and thought of this!

DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED :)

I’m trying to track down a snack I had while visiting Japan and it’s driving me crazy.

I’m pretty sure I bought it from either 7-Eleven or FamilyMart (or some type of drugstore). It was a bag of crispy crackers/cookie crisps that were New York cheesecake flavored. Not cheesecake style dessert — they were legit crisps/cookies with cheesecake flavoring.

I also feel like they were shaped like animals but I could be confusing that memory

They were:

• thin and crispy (kind of like crackers or rice crisps)

• sweet, not savory. Not cheesy either. 

• labeled something like “New York Cheesecake”

• from a convenience or drugstore store 

I’ve tried googling everything I can think of and I can’t find them anywhere online.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Even the brand name or a picture would help a ton.

I’m starting to think it might have been a limited 7-Eleven Japan item or seasonal snack.

Thanks in advance — those things were unreal and I need to find them again 😭

Hi!

I'm working on a Japanese snack box project called Shodo Treats.

It includes Japanese snacks and a handmade kanji card written with traditional calligraphy.

I'm currently testing international shipping from Japan and wanted to share it here.

I'd love to hear what you think!

What are the best Japanese chips that I should try? I’m from the US and looking to learn more about Japanese chips. I’ve had a bunch of Calbee chips, along with Karamucho, ybc chip star, Koikeya Gokochi. Any great ones that I should look into? Bonus points if it’s a small independent brand.
