"Yukinoyado" Sweet Rice Cracker

Bonjour! It has been a week since I last updated my blog. My life keeps being "sucky" with annoying corporate job. It is even worse when I get sick - ouch!

Today, I finally regained a little bit energy to write about my favorite rice cracker - "Yukinoyado" 雪の宿 . "Yukinoyado" translates to snow lodge.

Rice cracker is light weight, crunchy Asian cracker made of rice. You can absolutely taste rice in these snacks. It is also very very crunchy so it makes a very loud sound when you bite into it. There are variety of flavors available for rice cracker such as sweet soy sauce flavor, salt flavor, seaweed flavor.

My absolute favorite since kid is "Yukinoyado". There's milky sugar candy (resemble snow fall) coated on top of lightly salted rice cracker. When you put it into your mouth, you taste strong sweetness with salty flavor. After you start munching on the cracker part, you taste mix of saltiness and sweetness evenly. Since rice cracker is pretty dry, I recommend you to have it with a cup of Genmai tea.

Sweet and lightly salty, I like!

If you can't wait for Amazon delivery, you should be able to find a similar product called Wang Wang snowy rice cracker in nearby Asian super market. Yukinoyado is original snowy rice cracker but it is not widely available in the states.

"Awa Soda" Soda Bubble Candy

This candy is similar to Smarties but melts faster with flavor of ラムネ " Ramune " (taste like Sprite) with strange bubbles "Awa" in your mouth (a lot of bubbles!). Bubbly bubble! If you are either Ramune fan or bubbles fan (imagine bath bubbles melts in your mouth) or both, this is for you! This candy is very unique in its flavor and texture for people outside Japan (I hope it was obvious from my description above). However, I totally forgot about its uniqueness for a moment. Then, I came to realization when my daughter put the candy into her mouth for 2 seconds and then spit out immediately with yikes face. Yikes! Anyway, since my hubby doesn't eat any candies and my daughter rejected the candy, I decided to keep it all to myself at work. I like "Ramune", candy and bubbles so this is a candy of my dream. Very bubbly! Awa Awa Awawa! If you are up for this sensational bubbly experience in your mouth, check out these items now. Today&

"Caplico" Chocolate Snack

Caplico mini is one of our family's favorite sweet snacks. It's basically "ice-cream on cone" shaped chocolate snack (dry). "Ice-cream" part is made of fluffy textured chocolate. It comes with 3 different flavors - strawberry, vanilla, cacao. "Cone" part is wafer. Inside the "cone", it's stuffed with again, fluffy cacao flavored chocolate. Yes to strawberry flavor Caplico! Caplico actually comes with "regular size". In my opinion, you easily get tired with one flavor with regular size. On the other, " mini " version is just a perfect size for you to try out another stick with different flavor. Additionally, I noticed that "cone" (wafer part) is also somewhat crunchier with mini than the regular size. Regular size Caplico Hence, when you purchase one, please make sure you select "mini" Caplico! I selected one for you so check it out. Today's shopping list: 1. Gli
