Strawberry Puffs Snack

Strawberry Puffs

Origin: Japan
Type: Chip/Cookie
Description: Strawberry flavored puffy snack

As you can tell from the first picture up there, this packaging is literally screaming at you to buy it. It's a good thing I like strawberry flavored things! These wonderful strawberry puffy snacks are shaped like and have the same consistency as cheese curls. They taste like strawberry alright! They are sweet and salty, a nice balance that makes them easy to eat without getting tired of them too easily.

They have a pleasant texture and are the soft kind of crunchy. It's like eating strawberry cereal but softer like popcorn or a cheese puff. These are really good! I would recommend them to anyone who is lucky enough to come across a bag.

2% Peach

Origin: Korea
Type: Drink
Description: Peach flavored water

At first glance, this can looks like it could be a fruity soda, or perhaps a stylish dietary supplement. It is neither of those things. 2% Peach is peach flavored water in a can. It has no calories, no carbonation, no sweetness. Just peach. It's not bad though. I tried it at both room temperature and chilled. When chilled it's one of the most refreshing drinks that I've had in a while. This drink is good on it's own, but I could see it being used as a drink mixer. Delicious!

Sriracha Peas

Origin: Thailand
Type: Snack
description: Dried pea snack, Sriracha flavor

Sriracha is soooo good. It's one of my favorite spicy sauces to add to just about everything. It's made of chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, and sugar and can be found in many restaurants all over the world. In most American market's Asian aisle you can find dried peas that are usually wasabi flavored, but never sriracha flavored. I picked up these bad boys at the local foreign market.

They are surprisingly sweet! They aren't too salty, and they taste just like sriracha! They're so spicy though, I can only eat a little bit at a time. They're also kind of hard the teeth, but that's to be expected of dried pea snacks. These are pretty good but I probably couldn't eat them all the time.

Ramune Soda

Ramune

Origin: Japan
Type: Soda
Description: carbonated deliciousness

As cliche as it is, it's obligatory to cover this in a foreign snack blog. Ladies and gentleman, Ramune Soda. If you haven't heard of Ramune, you've probably been living under a rock. Ramune soda has become very popular in the last few years among kids that go to anime conventions and partake in other weeaboo practices. If you want more soda for less, and to avoid annoying cultural faux pas, go to a market and pick up this bottle instead of the gimmicky one with the marble in it.
Personally, I only drink Ramune Soda in the summer time when it's hot. Not sure why, but it just tastes better in the Summer. When it's hot out, Ramune soda can and will cool you down with its flavor that's something like the cross between 7up, bubblegum soda, and something else. Yeah, it's definitely a unique flavor, not overly sweet like western drinks either. It's just Ramune soda. There's nothing else to say. It's not really that special.

Pierniczki Alpejskie

Origin: Poland
Type: Cookie
Description: Chocolate covered gingerbread with filling

When I first picked these up, I had no idea what they were. Were they candy? Cookies? Whatever they were, they were cute and looked good. I was about to find out just how good these really were.

Opening the bag, there's a faint smell of chocolate. Judging by the look of the treats you would think that chocolate outside would probably taste like that of one of those cheap chocolate donuts. Boy was I wrong! The chocolate outside is the best that I've ever tasted on a cookie or any preserved dessert for that matter. It's like a fine dark artisan chocolate was drizzled atop these delectable delights. Biting into it, you notice that the cookie part is so soft! Extremely soft gingerbread that's by no means overwhelming. It's just right.

Inside is a delicious strawberry filling. Its texture and flavor are also just right. Is this it? Have I discovered one of the most delicious delectable dessert treats of all time?! It's so good! Please try these, you won't regret it!

Bottle Green Tea

Green Tea

Origin: Thailand
Type: Drink
Description: Japanese style green tea

Yes! Japanese style green tea from Tailand. In most Asian countries bottle tea is the order of the day. Unlike artificial teas in America and Europe, most Asian teas don't contain artificial sweeteners like their western counterparts and are differentiated by their subtle flavor differences. Plain green tea in a bottle is really refreshing. This tea tastes very much like different Japanese green teas that I've had, but it's really light on the roasted earthy flavor that the other teas have. In fact, this may be even more refreshing than those! The flavor is very subtle and there's no weird aftertaste. It's just smooth and refreshing, the way bottled tea should be. I could drink this everyday, it's so good!
