[Limited] IMO KARINTOH (premium sweet potato snack)
Rating: of 5 Stars!

Taste is flavorful and not overwhelmingly sweet. A firm crunch to the texture, a bit too firm than expected, as I need to use a little more chewing strength than I prefer. This snack is more suitable for an adult's jaw, but makes a nice accompaniment for darker/roast...(more)

[Limited] KINTOKI IMO Chips (premium sweet potato snack)

A nice crunch to the sweet chips. The sweetness is not overwhelming but flavorful. I suspect the touch of salt helps with the overall taste. I can easily finish them as is, though an accompaniment of tea helps to quench the dry throat-feel after a large mouthful. ...(more)

[Limited] TANSAN SENBEI (traditional Japanese cracker)

Very crispy and snappy thin in texture. Taste is gentle in wafer aroma and not too sweet. The lightness in texture and taste must be contributed by the use of rice flour. This is a prefect snack to be enjoyed as is or to accompany any type of tea.

[Limited] YUZU Peel (Japanese citrus peel glace)
Rating: of 5 Stars!

The peels have a soft rubbery crunch texture to the bite. They are not at all sweet, which how I prefer it. The minimal use of sugar allows one to fully appreciate the real flavor of yuzu skin. Aromatically, it is on a soft side, while giving off a slight bitternes...(more)

I love rice crackers of all sorts. These ones are fun to enjoy as they come in different flavour choices. All have a nice crispiness in texture with just enough sweetness to be a great accompaniment to Japanese teas. This particular product also happens to look so ...(more)

I love the salty touch to these cookies, I think it plays a major role to the overall flavour. It is not too sweet and has a nice soft crunch to the texture. Without reading the name or description you won't know it is made with tofu. The butter aroma is mild, making...(more)

[Limited] MISO SENBEI (traditional Japanese cracker)

I love the the crunch of this senbei, and it as a nice balance of flavours. It is not too sweet and you can taste the toasty savoriness, which I assume from sesame and nori. I can't smell the aroma of miso but it definitely has a pleasant overall flavour.

[Limited] Kiyomizu YUZU MONAKA (Japanese wafer YUZU flavor)
Rating: of 5 Stars!
Date Added: 09/30/2021 Read: 1125
The wafer skin has gone soft due to the moisture from the bean paste. I would prefer this with the wafer and paste filling packed separated. But the filling is nicely made. The taste is not too sweet and I love the soft yuzu aroma that has been infused in the bean past...(more)
Taste is of matcha powder at first from the coating, then as you chew you'll get a moderate milky sweetness that complements the flavor of matcha. Soft and chewy in texture, slightly sticky to the teeth, and leaves a milky aftertaste on the palate. Both of the match...(more)
