Late July Clasico Tortilla Chips – Jalapeno Lime

Late July Clasico Tortilla Chips – Jalapeno Lime

Despite being a self-proclaimed spice wimp, I rarely shy away from spicy or “hot” snacks because they supposedly pack heat. More often it’s because something is unnaturally colourful or chemical looking. And even then, it’s…

Hi-Chew Premium – Alphonso Mango

Hi-Chew Premium – Alphonso Mango

Mangoes are what I think of as a crowd favourite. Apart from people who are allergic to it, everyone loves it and it goes well in almost any format. It’s one of those fruits that’s…

Riceworks – Salsa Fresca

Riceworks – Salsa Fresca

Riceworks was one of the brands that was got in on the ground floor when rice chips first became a thing. I remember back in the early 2000’s my first experience with rice chips. As…

Hi-Chew – Yogurt Mix

Hi-Chew – Yogurt Mix

In an effort to keep an open mind, (and an inability to source Japan made Hi-Chews), I’ve decided to give some other varieties of Hi-Chew a try. These are made in China, and oddly enough…

Annie’s – Organic Berry Patch Bunny Fruit Snacks

Annie’s – Organic Berry Patch Bunny Fruit Snacks

Fruit snacks – what’s the first thing you think of when you hear that phrase? I’d guess that you think of those small pouches of colourful snacks you got as a kid. Or if you…

Pretz – Crispy Chicken

Pretz – Crispy Chicken

Pretz is a beloved snack that I have never outgrown, and hope to never outgrow. Sure there are times and lulls where I don’t have any for an extend period, but it’s never intentional. Like…

Toppo – Strawberry Condensed Milk

Toppo – Strawberry Condensed Milk

I’ve reached a point with certain snacks, where I’m either beginning to repeat flavours, or the seasonal limited editions they have are so similar that they might as well be repeats. Toppo doesn’t release that…

Pejoy – Chocolate

Pejoy – Chocolate

I’ve probably discussed at length by now about how I somewhat recently discovered Toppo, and how I prefer them to Pocky. Boy did I feel silly when I found out that the good people at…

DARS Chocolate – White Strawberry

DARS Chocolate – White Strawberry

I haven’t had a whole lot of experience with DARS, not like I have with some other snacks. But since I started trying out DARS, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. From their easy to share pieces,…

Tirol Chocolate – Yokan Sweet Agar

Tirol Chocolate – Yokan Sweet Agar

Summers in Japan can get pretty crazy, so it’s always surprised me how many cool, interesting summer snacks they have to deal with it. Also, they have some real sticky snacks. Not relevant to this…
