Genkai Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 anyone else on the boards love to sit down with a cold bottle of ramune, some pocky and yan-yan, maybe some of those chocolate mushroom cookies, or a hi-milk bar or something? i love jaanese snacks like these SOO much... yan-yan!!! yay!!! anyway, everyone here probably knows what pocky is, but if you don't, it's like a cookie stick dipped in chocolate.....they have a ton of flavors...... yan-yan rocks, cause it's like dipping your own pocky... ramune is a japanese soda pretty much like 7up or sprite, but it has sorta a melon twist on it... anyway, i could go on and on abut ym favorite japanese snacks, but i don't think i could list them all...... of coure, these things take a chunk out of my pocket money, cause my parents buy us ameircan snacks, so any additional snacks we pay for..... i buy pocky and yan-yan in chinatown whenever i go, and i think you can get ramune there too. they don;'t have a huge variety of pocky and yan yan, normally just chocolate and strawberry(eww...strawberry pocky is sooooo weird...) flavor..... but it's all good... the rest you can buy online, most stuff you want is available... i think lostwonders.com has all the stuff i need...... problem with ordering stuff online is sodas might explode on you when you get them... you have to tap them about a million times before you open it... and DON'T order soda if you live out of th U.S., cause it'll probably explode before it gets to you...... yeah.. anyway, you get the idea...
Mitch Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 [color=red] Nope, I've never had any Japanese snacks. But I hope to have some someday. I also hope to go there one day also, even if it may be in a different charter of my life. [/color]
Semjaza Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 I don't get to go to Chinatown anymore... In Chicago we have a HUGE Chinatown; lots of great stores and restaurants. The only candy we ever bought there was Chinese rice paper candy. Those pink candies that come with a free sticker heh. I've seen other candies around... Our supermarkets here suddenly have a Japanese section. Lots of Sushi stuff, snacks and whatever else. I'm not a fan of candy either way, so I mostly buy these roasted peas covered in wasabi. Those kick *** :).
Manic Webb Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Strange. I've had (and love) Yan-Yan, but I never knew what Pocky was. I used to get my yan-yan from a nearby store that sells a lot of international stuff. Haven't had yan-yan in about 4 years, though.
Armadillomon Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Pocky is a kind of Japanese candy. I've heard it's really good. I've had a seaweed cracker thing. The cracker was good but the little piece of seaweed that came with it was nasty. I also like sushi (if you can consider that a snack).
Guest Imsirion Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 I love pocky, choclate and strawberry, mmmm. I used to buy Botan Rice candy when I was little, still do. And those stickers rock! I live far from a Chinatown, I think the nearest is in Seattle, and its been a while since I've been there.
zidane11 Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 I wish there was some place near that I could buy some of this stuff. Sounds better than my snacks. It's to hard to choose a flavor.
Semjaza Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 If you are desperate... [url]www.jlist.com[/url] has tons of snacks and candies you can order. They have a lot of other hard to find Japanese items there as well. Prices aren't too bad, although I'm sure the shipping isn't cheap if it is sent from Japan (some are mailed from California).
Genkai Posted September 26, 2002 Author Posted September 26, 2002 mm.. botan rice candy kicks ***... im glad some other people like japanese snacks too.. white rabbits are the bom.. i love them...
munkee Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 [COLOR=blue][SIZE=1]yum... it sounds good but for the pocky thing theres different kinds... i get the korean one pepero sometimes.. EVERYONE! its at your local asian market, korean for me... has anyone tried the chocolate covered sunflower seeds? SCRUMPTIOUS :tasty:[/SIZE] [/COLOR]
Juu Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]POCKY!!!!!!!!!!! RAMUNE!!!!!!!! ^____________________________^ As a korean... I get to eat [i]alot[/i] of Japanese food each time I visit my reletives, since korea's pretty close to japan. ^-^ Pocky is my all-time favorite, next to Goreibab, and then next to cocodasu. ^_^ goreibab is korean, and I think cocodasu is japanese... Anyway... anyone other than me loooooove japanese soda candy? ^_^[/color] [/size]
SSJ5 Vegeta Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 I've never had Japanese food but chinese food is good. We had some foreign exchange students from China in summer school, and they brought snacks. They were really good. They brought in hard candy once that tasted like different flavors of popcorn, like regular, caramel. And they brought in these things like fig newtons we have over here only they were pineapple upside down cakes. They were really good, and they also brought in various other snacks. That's the good thing about cultural diversity, so many different types of foods and customs, that's what makes this world a great place to live in... Now if only we'd all get along...

Pastbyer Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 [color=indigo]Mmmm... Japanese snacks... They're nice. They're right up there in my ratings along with some of my favourite Chinese snacks. Such as prawn flavoured chips and stuff like that...[/color]

Juu Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Japanese actually feels like soda.. except.. it's not. ^^' It's in Ramune, melon, and apple flavors. They all come together. ^^ I got some this morning, and I have one in my mouth right now. It's hella good... you [i]must[/i] try it.[/color] [/size]

Angelus_Necare Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 POcky makes good on my list of favorite snacks. I haven't had any in a while guess it's time to stock up... another favorite snack of mine are any of the japanese 100% fruit gummies. I lived off of those on a bus trip to chicago once.
Genkai Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 just finished some ramune and yan-yan... mmm... i COULDN'T find the soda candies... probably cause i can't read japanese or chinese... dammit........anyway, i need a pic or someting grumble... not gona go back to chinatown for like a month, but i got enogh pcky for a while.. though i only got two bottles of ramune, one for my girlfriend, one for me... their only like, 7 ounces, plus all the stuff that comes out after you pop the marble... yeah... i forgot to buy white reabits, but i almost got an awesome wooden sword.. i also got kung fu slippers for my tai chi and kendo staff, and some chinese coins for my i ching.. anyone else a messed up hippi like me? tai chi and i ching.. you kno it...
