I couldn't resist, I went back to Cost Plus World Market and picked up a bunch more goodies to try. This time around, I decide to combine the Haul with a Tasting video too. I hope you enjoy it!
Please do let me know which stores you find irresistible - whether it's for new snacks and new foods to try, favorite beverages, or great stuff for your kitchen (or home), I'd love to hear about it!
I have made no secret of the fact that I have been absolutely inspired by the YouTube Channel "EmmymadeinJapan" - and I submit as evidence, Article One Recipe Review: Gyoza. This post and companion video must then be submitted as Article Two, I suppose.
Not long after viewing Emmy's Gyoza video, I watched Emmy Eats a Japanese Snack Pack. Emmy has since made a least one additional Japanese Snack Pack Video. This video really made me curious and excited to try some Japanese snacks and one day when I was placing an order for some cookie cutters I decided to throw in one of these packs to try for myself.
Here is the particular pack I purchased:
The fact that almost all of the labeling is in Japanese characters and that what little I could read in English was still unrecognizable to me added to the fun and adventure in trying these products out. I was so excited when it all arrived!
There were 6 snacks inside...
This Big Katsu bar was the first snack I tried. I realize now, that I should have made the connection to Chicken Katsu - apparently Katsu refers to the breading.
This next snack had a really interesting texture - now that I think about it post video, I guess I would describe it as being a sugary toast-like snack. It definitely had a flavor and texture of lightly toasted bread...
My favorites in the whole pack were these rice crackers...
and these tube shaped, cheesy snacks...
I won't list all each individual snack here, you can watch the video to learn more about it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Have you ever tried a snack pack? What do you like to snack on? Do you know what any of these are and where I can get more of my favorites? Also, please do let me know if you like these types of posts and videos by leaving a comment, liking the video and subscribing or following the Channel or this Blog.
