[Limited] WASABI MAME (traditional fried peanut snack)

Texture wise has a dense soft crunch. Taste wise is only mildly sweet, with more of a bean-like aftertaste than matcha. I tasted no matcha in aroma, only the slight tea-bitterness in the aftertaste. Given that the beans are coated with matcha, this snack may pair ...(more)

Texture wise is very light and airy in crispness. I find the green okra has the lightest crunch factor, and red beet has the most dense crunch from the rest. Taste wise is very natural in its mellow flavor. They are only lightly salted so no to overwhelm or oversha...(more)

[Limited] MISO NEGI SENBEI (handmade rice crackers)

The light crunch with its savory flavor is addictive. There is a slight sweetness to its salty soy sauce-like flavor. Not quite soy sauce, but not exactly miso heavy either. I don't smell the fermented soybeans aroma that usually presents in all miso, so this one de...(more)

[Limited] UCHIZOME SANSUI (handcrafted Teacup: 170ml)

It has simplicity that is friendly to the eyes, with just enough blue painting on the inner rim to make it aesthetically pleasing. I like the dented grooves on the outer surface of the cup, which gives a slight grip-feel to smooth glaze. The sizing of the cup fits n...(more)

[Limited] HACHIMITSU UME (sweet honey plum confection)

First look of the fruit upon unwrapping is the muted peach-brown coloring of the wrinkled fruit skin, and also wet from the juice in the wrapping. Its flesh is very soft to the touch. First bite gives an instant saltiness in taste, followed by mild sourness and swee...(more)

[Limited] YUZU SHIZUKU (citrus AN bean jam confection)
Rating: of 5 Stars!

Upon unwrapping, the sweet citrus aroma of yuzu permeates the air. The instant smell gives a pleasant first impression. At first look, the color is not as deep orange-yellow as the pics on the description, but rather more on a paler/muted side. This confection is ...(more)

[Limited] Matcha MIZU YOHKAN (traditional sweet bean jelly)

This is not a typical yohkan. Not the type that is firm and overly sweet. Instead, it is very different, thankfully. Its texture is smooth, soft and juicy, practically melts in your mouth. A very tender and watery version of an agar pudding, more to a texture that...(more)

[Limited] YUZU SENBEI (traditional YUZU citrus crackers)

There is a sugary coating on the surface of the cracker, which gives an instant medium sweetness on the palate. The yuzu flavor is there but mild, unfortunately. Wish it is stronger. No trace of sour or bitter note to the flavor, making it a snack suitable for kids ...(more)

[Limited] MASAGOISHI - Black Pepper (handmade rice cracker)
Rating: of 5 Stars!
Date Added: 06/26/2023 Read: 446
There is a medium firm crunch to the texture, a bit too firm for most kids but suits adults in general. Each bite there is a light savoriness to the palate with a toasty note, followed by a warming sensation down the throat from the mild heat of the black pepper. Th...(more)
This snack looks rather like sand-colored pebbles with its uneven shape and surface texture. Texture wise it has a soft crunch to the bite, with a hollowness in the middle that helps giving that lightness in texture. Taste wise it is mildly sweet, with a gentle true...(more)
