My Preferred Food and Things
I love when I cook Asian food at home. These are some of my favorite snacks and food I bought and ate in Japan. I included some products too to showcase what I’ve seen in Japan and can buy here in the US.
Add some peanuts and you got yourself a healthy snack. I kept buying these rice crackers at 711 in Japan on my visit. It was my go-to snack when walking around. These rice crackers are delicious!
I love these Japanese Rice Crackers
When I need a kick on my season I like to drizzle some cooking oil. I like to cook shrimp with it to add taste and change the texture. I only put a little bit since it can get spicy. Great on noddle soup

These were easy to pack when I was visiting the temples and needed to take a break on my hike. They are crunchy but very good.
My Umaibo Japanese Corn Puffed Snacks Rolls
One of the best souvenirs I bought from Japan was this Starbucks Been There Series from Kyoto. When I saw the Maikos and the Sagano Train drawings on the tumbler I felt it was telling my story. I found the same tumbler on Amazon but it does cost more...
Love my Starbucks JAPAN Kyoto Tumbler
Japan is known to have one of the best nail clippers. I bought nail clippers on my recent trip and they are good. Durable and strong these nail clippers are perfect for those difficult nails. 💅
The Best Japanese Nail Clippers I bought
You can’t leave Japan without sake cups. All over Japan I’ve seen cups similar to these with various drawings. I found these that are similar to the ones I bought in Toyko.
Sake Cups for Wine Not Shot Glasses
This is the most non- sweet milk chocolates I’ve had in Japan. It’s so good and it perfect for the nice dessert after a big dinner. Think of Andes chelates without the mint.

Toyko is full of wonder. The coolest thing was seeing Godzilla on top of a hotel spewing air. It was an amazing experience. Now I can bring this experience in a mug ☕️
