Let’s dig in!
Pokemon Gachapon
Meiji’s Carl Cheese – New Years Edition
Meiji’s Carl have been sold for decades in Japan. Puffy, airy and delicious – they are infused a refined cheese flavor. This is a special version of the iconic snack designed with New Years imagery. It features an “Ema” – a wooden block that you write your wishes on before hanging it at the temple.
TohatoChocobi – Hot Milk
The snack made famous by the lovable character Crayon-Shin-Chan. The original version of this snack is a staple of Japanese Pop Culture. This is a special edition of Tohato Chocobi flavored like Hot Milk. A perfect taste for the Winter.
Ultraman Gummy
Big Grape Gummy candies in the shape of Ultraman! Each one has a grape flavor. This is an officially licensed product from Bandai and was massively anticipated by Ultraman lovers and collectors all over Japan.
Koala No March – Hot Cocoa
Koala No March are world famous biscuits printed with adorable Koalas in different poses. This is a special version with a unique and daring Hot Cocoa flavor.
Butamen Salt
Butamen is a kind of “snack ramen”. It is normally sold in Dagashi stores and local independent shops. Usually the owner will prepare it for you right in the store! This is a classic ramen style with a simple salt broth. To prepare, fill with hot water up to the inner line. Cover and let steam for 2-3 minutes before eating.
JOO C – Soft Drinks
Delicious candies from Kabaya in a handy flip-top container. Each one is flavored like different soft drinks. Cola, Ramune, Melon, Lemon and Orange are all included.
Takaoka – Chocolate
A step-back into Japanese snack history. This delicious wheat puff chocolate was first made over 40 years ago and the recipe has been unchanged since its creation. In a 2009 survey by the Asahi newspaper, 70% of Japanese adults named this as their Favorite Retro Snack. It has gained popularity in the past few years in the current retro snack boom. Light and airy, it is a chocolate that is not too heavy when eating.
Takaoka – Strawberry
After you have tried Takaoka – Chocolate, please enjoy Takaoka – Strawberry! This version was released not long after the original and also has not changed its recipe in over 40 years. These colorful wheat puffs were originally sold in loose form, where you paid by weight. In the 1980s it was changed to a pre-packed back format.
PriPara Soft Drink – Grape Soda Flavour
An amazing DIY Soft Drink that ends up with three layers of flavors and jelly in one glass!
The collectable cup and packaging are designed with characters of Japanese anime PriPara.
Moko Moko Washing Machine DIY Candy – Yogurt Flavour
This DIY Kit is famous in Japan for being a little odd. “Moko Moko Washing Machine” lets you create a minature washing machine figure. Next you can add powder and water, then spin the machine using a dial until delicious foamy candy comes bursting out!
Whether you want to indulge in new Japanese treats, or just love anime or Japanese culture in general, OyatsuCafe is for you! Let me know what you think of this OyatsuBox in the comments below.
