My buddy from Japan brought me a buttload of tastey snacks... I figure I'd review some with you guys... I'll save the obvious snacks (i.e. pocky) for future days. Today: AmericanSoft Green Tea cookies. These cookies are AMAZING. Softer than American cookies, this has a wonderful mouthfull of matcha flavor mixed with macadamia nuts and milk and white chocolate chunks. It almost melts in your mouth like a fresh half-baked cookie... but better. Note how the packaging advertises that they are "CHEWING" instead of "chewy." I love Engrish. So next time you pass an Asian-mart, do stop by and pick up a few bags of these. It's well worth the price of gas to get there.

I must also add, that snacks are important, my parents, pictured here: can attest that snacks are the most important resource Japan can offer.

But... no threads in this forum ever stay on topic.
You might be asking a little much there.

Everyone knows Pocky. You can probably get it at your local asian-mart. It comes in a variety of flavors (200+, from what I've heard). Well, take a chocolate pocky... thicken it. And dip it in layers in a creamier chocolate. This is fran. Fran is a richer, tastier pocky. In particular, I have become enamored (no surprise) with the green tea flavor. This beadstick-shaped cookie is pre-dipped in white chocolate before it is heavily dipped in a white-chocolate matcha flavor layer. Wonderful taste and one package is really enough.... unless you eat Matcha like it's crack... in which case, the whole box will do it. Enjoy.

Green Tea is technically good for you as well. I bet that you get cravings for those things too.

Oh god, I only told my buddy to bring Fran from Japan. I am very grateful that I can continue to taste other things too... but Fran is my personal favorite... Next to the AmericanSoft cookies....

I prefer to stick to snacks I can readily find in my locale. It's so annoying to get craving for things I can't find/afford :*(

Closest thing I have is Meijer. They do sell Pocky, though. And I bought some in honor of this thread. Strawberry. The best kind.
