267. Japanese Titbits

What to get from Japan? I searched online and surprisingly I couldn't find any relating to food. Mostly were on getting Burberry blue label goods. Shouldn't there be at least some information for tourists on what to get whilst in Japan? Or was my searching skills too bad?

A few days ago, it was advertised on papers that tourists visiting Singapore could get the following (to state a few) as souvenirs.

1. Barbequed pork

2. Bengawan Solo's pandan cake

3. Ready-made laksa, chili, chicken rice paste

and etc....

"No Laudree. No Pierre Herme.", Bro said. He is not going to bring back any of those dainty macarons, isaphans for me. "Awww..."

Just the commoner's pick. In Singapore, we could only get kit kat original. In Hong Kong, we could get kit kat filled with mint or orange, exterior is still of chocolate coat. In Japan, we could get kit kat coated with matcha and the interior is also filled with matcha. I loved the matcha kit kat more than the chocolate kit kat. Yummy....

More candies. Chelsea sweets. I think we could get this brand in Singapore. Not too sure about the peach flavour. The yogurt flavour which comes in green colour package is also nice. Ah.....soda gum. I wanted cidar sweets but bro didn't manage to get it. He got soda gum instead. And it's super soda gum, centre-filled with a tad more soda content (in powder form).

40 yen (app SGD 0.64) a bottle. So kawaii~ The height is half of what we have got here.

Satsukuri Toufu Kuranchi (Toufu crunchy). There are 10 packs in a canister, cost about 500 yen (app SGD 8). 豆太-san, the bean illustrated on the cover, is so kawaii! Tofu, the main ingredient,is mixed with black sesame seeds, concentrated milk and etc. It has a texture like the yogurt bar- chewy. It is ideal as a gift.

Well, we could get mochi as well but I personally felt the mochi was nothing special, just that they were very nicely wrapped. And maybe Imoyokan, the Japanese jelly made from sweet potatoes? At least it's something that we could only get in Japan. I wonder how's the taste like?
