Asahi Mintia Spearmint mints


These are great. The mint's them selves are really small and you probably could use like 2 at one time or three. The container that it comes in is really small, size of a credit card but maybe like 5 or 6 stacked on top of each other. It fits 50 of these mints and they have a nice taste. I am not sure if it eradicated my bad breath those days but they are enjoyable and I wish I could try a few more of the flavors. 

American Cola


So Ms. Noodle picked this up at a discount store in Japan. She wanted to see if it was like our American Cola and also if it tasted better then the Pepsi over there(Ms. Noodle isn't a Pepsi fan). Ms. Noodle liked this a lot she thought it was really close to Coca-cola or was a good replacement for not having any there. I am not sure what the brand is other then it's American flare of a can. I recommend for the price that we got it which was like 75 cents.

Suntory Strawberry Milk


This was like strawberry milk but not. It wasn't actual milk and it was kinda like skim milk but it tasted like strawberries. It wasn't bad and it can in a small can which is fine, not sure I would drink an entire larger can in one go. I do like their smaller cans over there in Japan. This is made by Suntory and is enjoyable but by no means not like a strawberry milk from the grocery isle in the states.

Kirin Mets Grapefruit


This soda is amazing. I tried it on my first trip to Japan and just fell in love with it. I love grapefruits and this soda is so refreshing. I had a hard time coming across it in a vending machine in Tokyo but found it pretty easily in Kyoto. My first trip I only noticed this one and Met's Cola along Kirin's Mets line but now there are some other fruit flavors. I have noticed a lot more grapefruit soda drinks last year then 3 years ago.  This drink has such a nice sweet grapefruit flavor inside. I think about ordering a case and having it delivered here in the states but know it would be costly. YES GET THIS.

F&E CHE Orange Gummy


These are really sweet and when I first put these in the mouth my tongue was twitching. They are intense but they are good. Taste just like orange and they come in small tear drop shapes. Glad they come with a seal-able bag since I could not eat these in one sitting or I would have sores in the mouth. I want to get more and once again take my time eating them over a week!

Suntory Horoyoi chu-hi Peach


More fruity alcohol?! I will buy! I love peaches and this is like and alcoholic peach drink that is carbonated. Only 3% you can probably go through a lot of these. It taste great and Suntory did a great job. I wish I found out about these on my earlier trips rather then this last one because I would have had these all the time. It isn't a sin to walk the streets of Japan drinking alcohol either! Drink it like a soda with a kick, Yes you have to try these.

Hokkaido Rich Butter Potato Chips


These were great. I love crispy chips that has a flavor I would like and is different. They almost were like Lay's regular chips but had a more rich butter taste to them. It was like a creamy baked potato loaded upon some butter but in a crispy form. Nice for one sitting if you don't mind the 320 calories from the entire bag. The little cow face is cute too and Hokkaido is known for their agriculture. If I can find this again, I would grab a bag.

Karamucho Hot Chili Flavored Chips


These chips have a bit of a kick to them but they are good. When I opened up the bag a chili smell came from within. I was disappointing that the bag was 1/4 full of chips. It made it a good snack size that is for sure since I do not want to sit and eat tons and tons of chips. I would get these again and I am usually not a chip guy. Gosh they are crispy and taste great. I would find these and get these again!

Kanro Wasabi Grilled Seaweed


This is a small re-seal-able package with some nori or seaweed inside. It has two layers of seaweed with some wasabi placed between. The nori taste great has that strong fish taste but once you hit the wasabi it has the kick that brings you to attention. Not a big bag enough for a quick snack and it is nice that they offer a seal as a option if you want a few latter. Some of the other nori packs Ms. Noodle gets you have to eat them in one go since there is no seal, unless you have a Ziploc and put it in there. Not sure if I would get them again, I am not a nori guy, Ms. Noodle is but she is not a wasabi girl!

Denny's in Japan


So Ms. Noodle and I stopped at a Denny's for breakfast to get a little bit of home for a meal. This Denny's is open 24 hrs like some back home but it smells of cigarette smoke and there are some old business men reading the paper smoking up a cloud. Anyways, we ordered our own meals and I decided on what is pictures. I got a scrambled egg, lightly cooked piece of bacon, side of white rice, miso soup, glass of orange juice, small yogurt and a little salad. Very nice but I sometimes enjoy my heavy breakfast at IHOP with huge omelettes and pancakes! The eggs were fluffy and soft, bacon really chewy and I don't ever eat a salad at that time of day but it was nice. Rice is almost anytime of day there which no complaint here. I'd stop by again for this mix of American-Japanese breakfast.

kirin Mets Litchi


So this is from my trip to Japan last year. Man it seems to have been awhile but all the food reviews and images that are from that trip were from my phone so sorry about that. I love Met's drinks from Kirin. My first trip to Japan there was Met's Cola and Met's Grapefruit (all time favorite). This last trip I found that there were more offered in the line. This is one of them. I picked it up at a 7-Eleven and boy did it have some carbonation. It had the refreshing feel to it but I was not sold on the taste. I may be biased because my tastes for Lychee has dropped really. Other then that I can see it to be really enjoyable.

Glico Pretz Sweet Corn



Ms. Noodle loves these things. She has bought them almost every time at the market since she tried the first box. I know she gives the A+. These are a lot like Pocky in shape but they are not coated with chocolate or anything. There is some seasoning on the outside but they are different. Nice and crispy, it has a "corn" flavor to it. Imagine eating some corn on the cob that is slightly sweet. It is that taste in a biscuit stick. Pretty good, definitely one of the more enjoyable Pretz that Glico has produced. We will be getting this again.

Calbee Honey Butter Potato Chips


Honey and Butter chips why would you not pick this up at the store. Calbee comes out with some great flavors. They try all kinds of things in Japan with these chips kinda like Pringles trying out flavors. These are just like all their other chips but butter with a sweetness from honey I expect. Ms. Noodle enjoyed them and would like to get some more. I am about mid way, I have had other chips I enjoy more like the spicy ones.

Karamucho Hot Chili Fries


WHAT!?!? This are like hot fries but smaller. They are so tasty! This bag is not that big and the fries are pretty small and narrow. Grab a few and put them in your mouth as you get that nice spicy kick! The old lady on the bottom of the bag is yelling for more (not sure if she really is). I want more, I may go look for hot fries after work today!

Wilkinson Gingerale Vodka


This was Ms. Noodles free drink at the Robot Restaurant and Show. It is a pre bottle ginger ale and vodka. Very low in alcohol content as you can not really taste the vodka but it makes the ginger ale have a kick. If I was in the mood for a ginger ale I would totally get this. 5% seems low for my local brewery here of beer which makes them between 5-10% (heavy stuff). I could probably keep drinking these before you really feel it.

Glico Pocky Demitasse


These are absolutely delicious. They were some good and creamy. I wish I could fins these again. They are really short and the sticks are chocolate with this dark creamy chocolate on the outside. Maybe 3 to 4 inches long a piece I destroy them easily in a few minutes. The box is not that big but I enjoy every bit. GET THESE.

Morinaga Raw Ramune Candy

I am not to sure amount more ramune candy. There are so many flavored candies after ramune in Japan it's crazy. I can not think of much Coca-cola flavored candies here in the States. This is a soft candy the shape of a square and it melts in the the mouth and taste just like ramune. If you freeze or cool it in the refrigerator it actually changes flavors, pretty cool. I like them more frozen as it is a chilling effect but tasty still. Grab some!

Lottee Koala March Custard Pudding Flavor

Aw man this stuff is legit tasting. This is some taste candy right here. I've had the Koala candies before this is the best flavor. It reminds me of maple syrup, I want more right now! It is a sweet flavor. It is March themed and has some Easter themed aspects to it. It is a seasonal treat!

Pepsi Sakura limited edition Flavor

This is a bottle of Pepsi that is not it's typical brown color. This is a Pepsi with pink coloring and the label says Pepesi Sakura with purple and pink on it. Nice pleasing bottle. The soda does smell fruity and has some nice carbonation in it. I am not sure I like the flavor which is the flavor of sakura/blossoms cherries. I do not like cherry flavored things so much and this taste like cherry which is what it's going with. It reminds me slightly of Mountain Dew Code Red which I do not like. It is a bit better though then the latter.

UHA F&E CHE Orange


This gummies come in little tear shape and they taste like orange. It is really strong and sweet. Makes my tongue tingle that it is so sweet. I may get them again but they are really sweet. I like that you can re seal the bag between every fruit you have. There is no way I could eat them in a single sitting, my tongue go crazy. I approve.
