First, we will inroduce Japanese snacks that are very famous and popular now in Japan.
There are two snacks especially liked by people.
[Pocky]It is a chocolate confectionery first sold by Ezaki Glico in 1966. It is a snack of chocolate coated pretzel and it is sold not only in Japan, but also in every country in the world now. Different kinds of Pocky such as "mousse pocky" and "crash pocky" are also popular in Japan.
[Potato chips]It was first sold by Calbee in 1975. It is a snack in which potatoes are sliced, deep-fried, and processed. Potato chips with the taste of a regional limitation are sold in Japan. Our recommendation is "Kansai dashi syoyu", which has taste of soy sauce, and is sold in the Kansai area including Kyoto.
There are also snacks sold only in winter in winter in addition to a standard snacks. The snacks limited to winter are mostly chocolates. "Melty kiss", "Porute", and"Shiroikoeda" are popular this year.
Next, we will introduce Japanese traditional snacks.
[Cyujunoutuwa]Cyujunoutuwa is a Japanese snack that is are made in Kyoto. This snack is presented as a gift or festival of marrige and a congratulation of longevity. The characteristic of this snack is to be able to eat the bowl,too. The bowl is made of by special ingredients. Also, you can drink tea by using this bowl. (It can be used two or three times !) It is a very delicious and interesting snack.
[Hinaarare]
Hinaarare is a Japanese snack that is eaten during the Doll's Festival, in which people wish that children will grow up the children cheerfully. This is a very famous snack. People eat them easily because it is made of small of pieces. There are a lot of tastes, such as soy sauce, chocolate, cheese and so on. But this taste is different by region. The main outside colors are white, red and green. The meanings that the colors represent are that white is earth, red is life and green is trees. Therefore, it is said that people escape from misfortune by eating them.
