I love the peanut flavor the most. The salty and sweet balance is just right—not too heavy at all. The brown sugar one is pretty good too. It kind of reminds me of traditional Hong Kong candies, but with an extra layer of toasty flavor.

Kameari Park
Kameari Park is located near the north exit of JR Kameari Station (head straight out, then turn right and you’re there). It’s famous as the park of the same name that acts as a setting in the manga “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutujo.”
As soon as you get near Kameari Station, you’ll see a bunch of Kochikame (“Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo”) character statues.
If you’re a fan, you’ll definitely want to track them all down and take photos one by one. -

Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street
While Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street is affectionately known as "Grandma's Harajuku", in recent years it has been drawing attention as a spot enjoyable for people of all ages and genders. Spanning approximately 780m, the shopping street is home to about 200 stores covering a diverse range of genres, including Japanese sweets, Western sweets, bakeries, tea shops, rice cracker shops, and Buddhist altar accessory shops.
This street feels pretty local by Tokyo standards—fewer tourists, more older locals—and the vibe is totally different from Shibuya or Shinjuku.
The whole street is packed with health foods, red underwear, and traditional wagashi. It has a real Showa-era feel. -

Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
Honestly, the Chinese food here leans more Japanese-style. It’s not as bold as in Hong Kong, but it still has its own unique character.
