Calbee - Jagarico Salad
These are awsm! I think you can get them in the states...possibly at Mitsuwa, but I haven't checked. They are similar to shoe-string potato chips, but are crunchier on the outside and soft on the inside. They come in a few flavors and the above one advertises vegetables on the front. "Vegetable" make you think you're eating something healthy. Unfortunately, these probably are not healthy for you. Despite that, you can pretend you're somehow meeting your vegetable intake requirement while enjoying a delicious snack.

Tirol - Mini-Chocolates - Pancake Flavor
If you have ever wondered whether you could turn delicious pancakes into candy, wonder no more. It's incredible how much this "chocolate" tastes like pancakes... You can actually taste the maple syrup (and maybe even the butter)! Like all of Tirol's mini-chocolates, it melts in your mouth. There is a tiny layer of what feels like graham cracker at the bottom that makes this chocolate simply delectable.
While I was in Japan, I had the pleasure of winning tons of Tirol mini-chocolates in a crane game, but they did not have this flavor. It may be unique. That is one of the fun things about Japanese marketing -- this idea of unique or "special" goods that may be for only a limited time. You feel as though you are having a unique experience. Hehe...
Another amazing flavor is White Cookies & Cream. I purchased this at the local Mitsuwa as a part of a variety pack.

Meiji - Apollo (Strawberry Chocolates)
These Japanese strawberry chocolate cones are not only adorable, but are delicious! You can find them at most Japanese supermarkets and of course, in Japan! They're terribly addicting to eat and the boxes usually contain a good amount. Tiny, cute, addicting... eeeeeeiiiiiii!! <3 It's like eating strawberry ice cream with chocolate fudge on top.

Michael Season's: The Ultimate White Cheddar Cheese Puffs
The bag picture made it seem like I was going to enjoy large cheddar cheese puffs, but in actuality, they were regular sized. Ultimate... maybe. The puffs are absolutely COVERED in white cheddar. You might as well be biting into a piece of cheese. Light and fluffy, original and tasty, these puffs are good for anyone who likes white cheddar. I found these at Whole Foods for a fair price. While they're probably not something I would get again (there is such a thing as TOO cheesy...), I would still recommend them.

Kurkure - Tomato
Okay... Look at this bag. What do you see? I see a little tomato man chasing me with no eyes and arms flailing. I thought it was so funny that I thought I just HAD to buy them. Then I found out that it's not a little tomato man :(. It's actually a tomato with horns. You know, like a devil character. Afterall, it does say "Naughty Tomatoes" on the bag... Anyway, these are tomato flavored cheet-o's essentially. I got them from our local Indian grocery. The brand makes a number of Indian flavored chips. These were not spicy in the least, but I LOVE the tomato flavoring. We seriously do not carry enough snacks that have tomato flavor. Japan and London both had tomato flavored stuff and now India. C'mon USA, hop on board already!!!

Tangy Tomato Banana Chips by Haldiram
These were found at a local Indian grocery store. It's rare to find tomato seasoned chips, but probably even more rare to find banana chips. Together, they make a tasty and unique combination! Haldiram's Tangy Tomato Banana Chips are crunchy with a comfortable level of tang. The tangy flavor seems to stem mostly from the black pepper seasoning. Much more interesting than your typical potato chips. :)
