What is everyone's favorite snack from Japan? Please try to think of something
else besides pocky, if possible, as this thread would be boring if everyone
replied with "Pocky!". Please also try to explain your snack (taste,
look, ect.).
My favorite Japanese snack would have to be Hiroshima momiji manju. They are
little maple leaf cake-like snacks filled with pastes of different types. I like
the red bean paste one the best. I have a picture of the package at this link

momiji manju
I really like Fran Rich Green Tea and Chocolate.
It looks like Pocky, but the is thicker.
The chocolate goes good with the slight grean tea taste.
It is not as overwhelming as Green Tea Pocky, which has no chocolate.
I go to a store called Central Market and I get these little frozen Ice cream
balls covered in a sweet pastry.The name escapes me sorry. I also love meat
buns.(Is that from China though?) I like Pocky to,sorry.
Hm...i've had no other snack but pocky, but I could tell you my favorite drink!
Its called Ramuni (sp?). Its only soda pop but it comes in this cool glass
bottle that is sealed up with a glass marble. You have to use a plastic tool
that they give you to dislodge the marble from the top of the bottle into a
resting place inside. Flavors I've hadso far include Melon (has funny happy face
melons on the label) and original, which i think is bubblegum (has funny little
kindergarden drawings of two little kids on the label)

Close on the spelling. Ramune is what you meant. It sounds like rah-moo-neh in
Japanese. I have currently seen these flavors of Ramune: original, lycee, melon,
kiwi, orange, blue hawaii, strawberry, peach, and sweetie (new?). I have tried
most of them, and they remind me of something between sprite and vernors with a
bit of fruit flavor in each different one. I like this too, and Ramune is quite
easy to find in most asian markets, especially if they are larger.

At least i pronounce it right, lol. I got mine in a Suncoast at the mall near my
house. They sell all kinds of japanese foods there, snacks really. I would love
to try peach, strawberry, and blue hawaii though.
Im sorry, but Pocky really is my favorite. Aside form that however, i like Hello
Panda and Yan Yan. Hello Panda is a sort of soft cookie with a filling center.
I've only had Chocolate and Strawberry, but im sure there are more flavors. Yan
Yan is basicly Pocky that you dip into frosting yourself. I like the chocolate
sticks with the vanilla frosting. yummy!
soory, dun have that much access to jp food around here, had to go over to
denmark just to get some pocky =(
but, ahwell, even though it aint original, i loooove choko pocky ^^
My favorite kind of candy it's from Japan, I can't read Japanese, but the
wrapper is pink, and the candy itself has a very strong vanilla taste. the
brand starts with uha___, that explains a lot, doesn't it? lol the weird thing
is I got it at a Korean store.
I really like kaki no tane. they're these little, red, chile shaped crackers. my
favorite flavor is the spicy one...I forget what exactly it's called. maybe
chile. and I love the Kasugai brand gummies! and of course, Pocky

i hate it when that happens. theres this Spanish snack that i really like thats
almost like a cookie, but the name of it is in Spanish so i have no idea what
its called.
One of the snacks that i cant stand are those crackers or chips that taste like
shrimp. i hate sea food and i had some... i'll never get over it.
Quote by ScribbleKittyi really
havent had all that many different flavor of Pocky. I like the
traditional chocolate though and i really want to try Green Tea
Pocky.
Green Tea Pocky has a strong green tea to me and takes a little getting used
to.
I thought they were ok. I like Coconut Pocky or Men's Pocky the most.
I have had like fifiteen or so flavors, at least five of them of them had
Strawberry flavor to them.
well, iam not japanese but my skool has this order when i can buy this
"obentoo!" from other shops ... it taste very nice... cosisit of rice
, sushi, tempura,other chicken stuff ..

I totally lucked out and my friend brought me back some from a con she went to.
It does have a very strong taste and takes some getting used to. Its like the
Green Tea Frappachino at Starbucks. Yummy in small doses, icky in gulps.
Theres a store down the street from the mall that sells japanese snacks and
stuff. I'll have to go in there and spend some money. They also have the soda
that mahkohime was talking about, but they only sell it in crates.
I love omochi!!! I eat it almost everyday !! I
also love pocky, koala no march...ahmmmm, i love these soft biscuits called ahhh
it starts with an 'M'...i also love the osembe and ummm and apple pocky (limited
addition tho)!!
fav drink from japan (bsides sapporo ;P) is Ramune, the real Ramune. my favorite
snack...i have lots, but i would have to say that my best and most favorite find
at one of my local asian shops were the infamous fish-shaped bean paste snacks.
yum! ^_^

Okay, if you don't have a favorite that isn't pocky, then you may write pocky. But only if you must, and say what kind of pocky.
i really havent had all that many different flavor of Pocky. I like the traditional chocolate though and i really want to try Green Tea Pocky.
mine would be the green-tea ice cream. not too sweet
so smooth and relaxing
