A must-buy every time I go to a convenience store in Japan.
The limited-edition flavor was as tasty as always.

Tsutenkaku Tower
A steel tower which looks like the Eiffel Tower and 75 meters high was built In 1912, on top of a building which was the motif of the Arc de Triomphe, and named “Tsutenkaku” meaning “A building reaching the heaven'' by Nangaku Fujisawa, a Confucian in the early Meiji period. After being broken down due to a fire, citizens lobbied for rebuilding and the current 2nd Tsutenkaku was built in 1956.
How could you visit Osaka and miss Tsutenkaku Tower?
Shinsekai, full of old downtown charm, is truly a food lover's paradise.
Freshly fried, golden and crispy kushikatsu and piping-hot takoyaki that's crispy outside and soft inside, along with the flashy oversized signs and neon lights lining the streets—every photo feels so Osaka〜 You won't be able to stop eating as you walk around!
This is the place to sample all the affordable local favorites everyone should try when visiting Osaka.
Strolling through the Showa-era atmosphere of Shinsekai is perfect for taking photos and checking in.

Sugar Butter Sand Tree
Milky white chocolate is sandwiched between cookies made from a blend of whole wheat, rye and wild oats. With its adorable appearance, your clients or friends and family will be delighted to receive this box of cookies as a gift.
Whenever I see a long line while walking through a department store, I know it's for Sugar Butter Sand Tree.
The crispy rye cookies have a grainy aroma and are coated with fine sugar crystals. That crunch with every bite is so satisfying! Paired with the rich, smooth filling, the sweet and salty combination never gets old.
I was super lucky this time and even managed to pick up the “limited-edition flavor” too (satisfied).
It's just right for afternoon tea with a cup of unsweetened hot tea or black coffee.

Yukari by Bankaku Sohonpo
Yukari is a cracker made with shrimp paste which is believed to bring good luck in Japan. Yukari was once presented to Tokugawa Mitsutomo in the Owari domain during the Edo Period and carries on its history and excellence. Using 7 natural shrimps for each cracker, it is carefully roasted in a unique double baking method consistent with the Edo Period.
A must-buy Nagoya souvenir: Bankaku Sohonpo shrimp crackers
I love the luxurious gold tin packaging. Every bite is packed with the rich aroma of grilled shrimp.
Great as a gift or to enjoy all by yourself.
