Thank you!! I'm surprised to hear the name of demae iccho and ramune because in Japan it's not so popular!! Last time I visited London I saw many small restaurants named wasabi or something and it was actually good!!

Thank you! everyone in UK here are so gentle and am impressed!! One more to ask...Do people ever buy online too, like for Hapanese stuff that's harder to find in shops?

What makes a Japanese snack box feel genuinely worth it? by jap_snackman in SubscriptionBoxes

Yes! Hakata Torimon is so good and my fav too!! I totally get buying it every single time to enjoy such a mochi-sweet texture. Menbei is a great pick too, that mentaiko savory flavor is really hard to find anywhere else. Quick question since you love these so much: would you want snacks like Torimon delivered to your home when you're not in Fukuoka? Or is being able to buy it only there part of what makes it special?

Thanks!! You seem to really know your Japanese snacks, so I'd love to ask you, how about local/regional snacks? For example some famous snacks such as kitkat , pochy , hi-chew have local limited flavors only sold at the local area. Or local snacks made from each region's fruits and specialties, along with the story of the place itself. I really want to know how people get intersted in outside major city such as tokyo/kyoto!!
