When it comes to classic chocolate cookies, Pocky is also on my list. Whenever I travel to Japan, I make sure to stop by Don Quijote to hunt for uncommon large packages or regional flavors.

For example, I once bought a large package of rich matcha Pocky in Kyoto, and I also picked up the sweet Amaou strawberry flavor in Kyushu. Whenever I come across these special seasonal or local limited editions, I can’t resist bringing a few boxes home. They’re satisfying to enjoy myself and are also very popular as souvenirs for friends. The fun of discovering delicious limited-edition flavors in different places is one of the little things I look forward to most whenever I travel to Japan.

As someone who loves to cook, I used to have to buy Kayanoya products through a Japanese proxy shopping service. When I first saw their simple, additive-free ingredients, they made a very good impression on me. Now, whenever I travel to Japan, no matter which city I visit, I always make a point of looking for special local flavors. On this trip to Nagoya, I was lucky enough to find a limited-edition product, and I was very happy to get a taste of the local flavors.

Besides their classic all-purpose dashi packets, I also recommend their chawanmushi soup stock packets. With just a few simple steps, you can make smooth, delicious Japanese chawanmushi, so they're really useful in the kitchen. I really like these kinds of natural, worry-free seasonings, and I feel especially reassured using them when I cook. If you enjoy cooking for yourself, this high-quality and delicious kitchen helper definitely deserves a spot on your must-buy list.
Kappa Ebisen

A famous shrimp snack known for its commercial jingle, "I can't stop, I won't stop, Kappa Ebisen♪".It is toasted instead of fried in oil, giving it a crispy, fragrant texture.The wheat dough is kneaded with whole natural shrimp, shell and all, making it not only delicious but also a source of calcium.A long-seller since its birth in 1964.

My first encounter with Calbee Kappa Ebisen was actually while feeding seagulls at Amanohashidate. Later, I couldn’t resist buying a bag at the supermarket to try for myself, and I found the flavor really appealing.

Although they look a little like the shrimp crackers commonly found in Taiwan, they actually have a lighter flavor and aren’t too salty at all, allowing you to taste the pure shrimp flavor even more. During this trip to Okinawa, I was also pleasantly surprised to find a special locally exclusive flavor.

I like the individually wrapped small bags, which are extremely convenient to carry around. Whenever I got hungry during the trip, I could simply pull a bag out of my backpack and immediately satisfy my craving. If you’re craving a small savory snack, I highly recommend keeping a few bags in your backpack. They’re definitely a great companion for satisfying cravings while traveling.
LOTTE Toppo

This crisp pretzel stick comes filled to both ends with deliciously mellow chocolate. Ready for study or mid-work snacking, the no-mess design is another reason to love this handy snack.

As a devoted fan of chocolate-and-cookie combinations, LOTTE’s chocolate-filled sticks are a pocket snack I always stock up on whenever I visit Japan.

What I like most is the slightly salty, savory flavor of the outer cookie stick, which blends perfectly with the sweet chocolate filling packed inside. The combination of sweet and salty is rich but never feels too heavy.

The slim, lightweight packaging is also super convenient to toss into a bag and carry around. Sometimes when I get tired from walking during an independent trip in Japan, I’ll take a break in a park and enjoy some fresh seasonal fruit with these filled sticks for a simple, relaxing outdoor picnic. I sincerely recommend this little treat you can enjoy anytime, anywhere to anyone who likes sweet and salty flavors.
