Rich Milk Tea Almond
An unexpected buy from Don Don Donki, Rich Milk Tea Almond surprises me by how good and addictive it is.
I was just looking around at the snack section with no intention to buy the snacks when I saw rows of Rick Milk Tea Almond packets hanging off the supermarket hooks. I didn't think too much about it at first, but somehow the picture of the cross section of this snack caught my attention. Yes, I guess my science-inclined brain totally digs it. So the description of crispy exterior coated with milk tea powder got my interest and I got a pack.
The crunchy texture of the almond juxtaposes so well with the crispy coating. The nutty aroma of almond is perfect match with the creamy milk tea. I can't stop munching on this.
Country of Origin: Japan
Where to get this: Don Don Donki

Fluff Meijin Hokkaido Cheese Mochi
Who would have guessed that this slightly humble-looking packaging packs such delicious snack inside. The puffy mochi has the starchiness of glutinous rice, and yet will surprise one with its super fluffiness. It’s like enjoying cheese clouds ☁️ ❤️
Niiigata Nanban Shrimp Senbei
Crispy crackers packed to the brim with the sweetness and umami of red shrimps from Niigata. This is so good, no wonder this got the first prize.

I have been looking for Japanese crackers that have some spice in them, and this is exactly what I had been searching for. Crunchy, spicy and full of flavours, this is a nice snack to munch on.

Okinawa Brown Sugar Coated Walnuts
How to enjoy nutritious food like walnuts that is great for the brain: by getting Okinawa Brown Sugar Coated Walnuts! The black sugar really adds that addictive touch to the walnuts and soften the texture a bit so that it is easy to bite. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy.

Hakata Gyokuro Manju
Bitter, aromatic, smooth green tea paired with super creamy milky finely grated bean paste is a delight to enjoy. The manju is very moist with thin dough skin, easy to finish in one bite. And this manju won the Monde Selection 2020.

Shion Purple Yam Cookie
Generous amount of cream filled with wholesome earthy flavour of purple yam coupled with crispy wafer bits mixed in for awesome texture, this is pretty good.
Hokkaido Yubari Melon Langue de Chat
The sweet aroma of melon is so lovely that I immediately fall in love with this cookie. The melon filling is simply awesome. The cookie part is nice, but may do better if it’s more of a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. All in all, this makes for a great impressive gift or a wonderful indulgence for oneself.

Ichiran Ramen
The Best packaged Ramen. Flavourful broth with spiciness that one can adjust. And the al dente level of the thin noodles can be adjusted according to one’s preference.

LeTao Langue de Chat au Fromage
Cheese filling made with Mascarpone Cheese is definitely a winner, as long as no chocolate is added. LeTAO, famous for its fromage cheesecake, immediately caught my attention when I was browsing for Japanese snacks. Without a second thought, I ordered this cheese cookie biscuit. It didn’t disappoint. The cheese filling is out of this world. The cookie has that slight melt-in-your-mouth quality. A good buy.

NewYork Perfect Cheese
The ultimate decadent Japanese Sweets: the combination of melt-in-your-mouth cookie biscuit, silky cream and slightly salty Gouda cheese with nutty goodness. It will impress on first bite. But it is very delicate, so handle with care and store in the fridge upon receipt. Let it warm up to room temperature to unlock the flavours before savouring.
Kumamoto Melon Panne
The sweet flowery aroma of Japanese melon envelope my senses the second I bite into this awesome piece of bun. The biscuit topping lends a nice crunch to the soft pillowy bun. One of my favourite Japanese snacks. The one I can order again and again.

Hokkaido Pote Kotan
Best Potato Snack! Best of all, the flavours are from natural ingredients. So flavourful due to the addition of seasoned onion powder to premium Hokkaido potato. Yea, Hokkaido potato tastes a league better than the common potatoes. Easy to finish three packets in one go.
Sakusaku Nikki Shrimp/Hotate
I love the subtle yet complex flavours of these crispy crackers. Made with natural ingredients, the essence of the sea is evident at first bite. Shrimp is more intense in taste while scallop is more mellow. I love both. The shrimp cracker for simulation of taste buds while the scallop cracker is for slow enjoyment.

Amanoya Mini Kabukiage
Crunchy rice crackers imbued with umami are great snacks to munch on. Soy Sauce is the mild safe bet while still being very tasty. Shrimp Salt is intense. And Plum Bonito is a nice surprise with the extra tang from the plum. Great for gatherings.
Kobe Milk Yogurt Parfait
While I love the creamy, slighty tangy taste of the yoghurt filling (made with premium milk from Kobe, the place famed for the highly sought after Kobe beef) what makes me swoon over this cookie is the unique texture of the filling that will sure to surprise anyone. Thin small wafer pieces are added to the filling to introduce the crispiness. A very pleasant surprise! So good that I order it again.

Press Butter Sand
Interesting and luxurious filling of V.S.O.P infused Colombian white chocolate and caramel. Love it, but will be even better if there is less of the cookie. But that’s just me. And the beautiful packaging makes it a great gift.
