Goryokaku Park

The site of Goryokaku Fort, the former political capital in this area, known for its cherry blossoms.

Goryokaku Park in Hakodate is dressed in a silvery-white blanket of snow in winter. The star-shaped fort covered in snow feels quiet and magical.

Walking through the snow and taking in the pure white scenery feels like stepping into a winter painting.

It may not have the romance of cherry blossom season, but Goryokaku in winter has a peaceful, mysterious charm. You may even get to enjoy the romantic nighttime illuminations.

No matter which season you visit, you can experience a different kind of beauty.

Premium Wasabi Paste in Tube

"Japanese Wasabi", which has been naturally grown in Japan since ancient times, is characterized by its spicy taste that goes through the nose. "Premium Wasabi Paste" by S&B Foods is a high-grade tube wasabi that uses 100% Japanese wasabi. It is characterized by a smooth texture like grated Japanese wasabi with shark skin, a refreshing flavor, and spiciness.

I love buying all kinds of seasonings in Japan. Every trip to the supermarket feels like a treasure hunt, and whenever I see something I haven't tried, I can't resist bringing it home! This S&B Premium Wasabi Paste is made with 100% Japanese wasabi. The tube is convenient and easy to store, and as soon as you open it, you can smell the naturally fresh wasabi aroma.

It's great with sashimi, sushi, grilled meat, or soba noodles. The flavor isn't as one-dimensional as regular wasabi, and the aroma is more delicate, giving it a luxurious feel. Japanese supermarkets really have so many hidden-treasure seasonings that I quietly fill my suitcase with them on every trip.

I really like this Kao Pure Oral toothpaste! Besides cleaning my teeth when I brush, it also helps prevent and control periodontal disease, which is a big plus for me as I've been paying more attention to oral care.

I use it every morning and night, and afterward my mouth feels fresh and clean. Overall, it's very comfortable to use and doesn't feel too harsh. Especially as I get older, I feel even more that I can't neglect caring for my teeth and gums.
Pocky Chocolate

Pocky was created in 1966 as the world’s first rod-shaped chocolate sweet. It is a rod-shaped pretzel snack covered in a chocolate coating, and it has a very pleasant texture. The combination of that delicious flavor with a way to keep your hands clean after snacking made them into a huge hit.

A classic chocolate-covered biscuit stick loved around the world. Even though you can buy it in Taiwan, I still can't resist bringing a few boxes home every time I visit Japan.

Crispy biscuit sticks coated in rich chocolate—the sweet flavor makes it hard to stop eating them one after another. They're great for an afternoon snack or while binge-watching shows. Pocky also comes in many different flavors, each with its own unique character. Matcha, strawberry, and milk are all delicious too!

When shopping at supermarkets, convenience stores, or drugstores in Japan, it's really hard to walk away empty-handed when you see Pocky.
