Best Japanese Snacks?

[bginysta]

Yeah I don’t know how many times I look down and realize I killed off a whole box.

[HeptaPsyche]

Now that sounds yummy are they going to be the purple sweet potato?

[HeptaPsyche]

Pocky is one of my favorites. They have a great selection of flavors and are easy to find in the states. Strawberry is my default. Another is Muchi I found a good homemade recipe that used coconut. Sticky and yummy!

[Hdog]

Unsure if it is going to be that one but when they come I will take a photo

[HeptaPsyche]

Most treats are kept with traditional ingredients. So I assume and hope it’s with the purple sweet potato. I once made a purple sweet potato casserole and it was delicious. And I enjoy buns made with this ingredient as well.

By purple potatoe do you perhaps mean UBE? Or is it just a regular ol purple tater. UBE is awesome, it’s a big thing in Hawaii. UBE ice cream, yogurt, doughnuts, you name it and Ube’s in it. Lol

[HeptaPsyche]

Yes. Purple yam. That sounds like some delicious food there in Hawaii.

My absolute favorite is Apollo, if anyone gets a chance to go to Japan and get some, its super yummy

[Antares]

Ahh… I want to try Pocky one day! I’ve never seen it in stores where I live x.x

[somwhere]

Oh dang! We need to get you some ASAP. You don’t have an Asian market near you? If not I’d volunteer to send you some.

[somwhere]

Yeah I feel you on that but I just found this h mart near me and there is an international grocery store that has a really good selection. There kimbap is delicious.

[Asuna]

Hope I could get it in the Japanese Aeon mall where I live

[Celty]

Pocky is great, especially with chocolate and nuts, I like the peach and strawbery flavour, but they have this waxy texture I am not a fan of.

[Antares]

XDDD there are some stores around here but so far I haven’t found Pocky… Either they don’t get it or people rush to buy it before me

[somwhere]

Well you know what they say, early bird gets the worm. I’m betting they don’t order it. You should ask him if they could start stocking it.

[Antares]

You’re right… I’m a little shy but I think asking is easier than going there and find nothing

[somwhere]

What’s the worst that could happen? they tell you No! If they do just let me know and I’ll call to speak to the manager. Lol. No for real if they don’t I’ll send you a care package.

[Antares]

Hahaha!! I’ll talk to them in hopes I just get a simple answer instead of a “so you know the game you naughty girl ” … which is the sort of joke I know people here would make

[CaptJack]

Pocky sticks all day everyday.
