First thing, this isn’t a Japanese product, though I did find it at Nijiya – which is a Japanese market. It’s from Taiwan, or at least it was manufactured there, distributed in CA though. Second, during the haul, I didn’t understand why they called it Ketchup French Fries. If, however, I had actually turned the […]


I hate when I review something that I can’t find any other information from online – reviews and/or purchasing. I mean, I guess I’m kind of weird because some people might be happy about it because it means they have something “exotic” or something. But for some reason, I get upset about it. I don’t […]


I think they used 25% of chocolate chips…or maybe they’re saying that out of the whole cookie, 25% of it is chocolate chips. It says “チョコチップ 25%使用”. The katakana part just says “choko chippu” and the kanji part says “shiyou” which is translated to “use; application”. But yeah… Well there’s a short little Japanese lesson […]


I feel bad. Because this post is late, and because I’m cutting down on reviews. SO, as a “treat”, I guess, from now on, at the end of the post. I’ll let you guys know what I’ll review next. I’m guessing this is a spring product directed towards the Japanese students who are in the […]


What in the world, right? How could European cheese (though I’m not sure how different that is from “regular” cheese) and chocolate go together? I’m not entirely sure either, actually. It’s just, it kind of popped out to me, besides the packaging is nice. I guess the last haul was kind of “exotic” food, except […]


I actually finished this bag & review a while back. But stupid school got in the way. Anyways, an announcement. After the next two reviews (not including this one), I’m not going to review regularly anymore. Money’s a little tight right now so yeah. I still will make trips to Japantown (when I can) & […]


Here’s the same candy, with different mascots – penguins & polar bears! How cute. If you’ve been keeping up with this blog, you might remember that I don’t like grape flavored candies. It’s true, I still don’t. But, I caved for this. I don’t actually remember why. I think it was kind of a whim. […]


I’ve been eying this for awhile, but I wasn’t sure because I don’t like almonds. But I wondered if green tea would trump that. I really hope it does. There was actually two different Tirol mix packs. The other one had Castella (which I heard wasn’t that good) and regular Milk Tirol. I’ve recently discovered […]


This is ridiculous. After the Chocolate Wonderland, I felt sick of chocolate, so I got kind of fruity candy. And now I feel like chocolate again, but I don’t really have any. Or more, I want chocolate like…drops I guess? Like, I don’t want a whole bar that I have to eat at once or […]


So backtracking. I caught a cold, and now I’m on my second piece of Sunflower candy. Admittedly, the candies were deceiving in making me think they were candy. But now, I know, that they’re pretty good for when you have a cold. It’s soothing for my throat and it actually relieves a little bit of […]
