This is one of the most mysterious snacks I’ve ever tasted. If you like creamed corn and puff crisps, you’re bound to like these little puffy guys. I’ve eaten these before during my time in Japan, but every time I taste it, it’s completely amazing. They have literally found a way to infuse the savory qualities of Cream of Corn into little puffs lighter than Cheetos. It’s like eating clouds of corn. It’s great, almost euphoric feeling.
I’d like to point out that, unlike in America, a small portion of the chips in Japan tend to be savory and this is one of the best. It’s difficult to say much about these little guys because the taste is so straightforward and honest. The taste is extremely crisp and clear.
God dammit, I’m going out to get some more of these.
You can look away. I'm getting dressed to go out.
So what I wear Power Ranger underoos? Fuck you. You know what, you don't see me complaining about your smell.
Yeah I said it, and what are you going to do about it? Bathe more often?
ONE CAN ONLY DREAM BUDDY.

What a cocky promise. The Kuma-ku collection promises to provide you with a human life partner. How in the world can this little box contain not only a chocolaty treat but also your soulmate? Never has a little box promised such lofty goals. It’s up to you, and your low expectations, to find out whether or not they were telling the truth.
While the cookie tastes great, the chocolaty filling living up to its chocolaty promise, there is much left to be desired about my new life partner. It’s up to you to choose one of a glorious ten possible soulmates which include but not limited to; a drunk, a bear in a frog costume, a Rastafarian, a thief, and afro’d disco bear. I’ve chosen a DJ with his own little spin table!
DJ play that music louder onegai!
So far this guy does nothing but hang around. My life partner is a sham. If I were to add in a new category in which to rate my snack treats, I would add in “Lofty Promises” and give it a score of 0 out of 10. It was silly of me to expect BoA to jump out of the box and begin dancing with me. It was silly of me to imagine us strolling down the beach at sunset in each others arms laughing about the past. It was silly of me to already begin thinking about the words I would use in my marriage proposal.
IT WAS SILLY OF ME TO ALREADY HAVE NAMED OUR CHILDREN.
Umm… the snack is good though. The chocolate filling is extremely creamy and smooth and definitely compliments the type of cookie used. It’s firm and gives a satisfying crunch. I’m going out on a limb by saying that the disappointment of not getting your human life partner is mitigated by the chocolaty treats contained inside the very same box. It doesn’t do much but at least you can cry yourself to sleep on a full stomach.
My thoughts about this weeks taste sensations? Not so good overall. There were some bad times and some good times. Mostly bad and I feel mostly pain now. Little shards of crab seem to be trying to escape my stomach and work its way into my blood stream. I’m fairly sure those things weren’t meant to be eaten, maybe cultivated as livestock or something. But for those of you who caught the last article, I told you checking out Japanese snacks weren’t going to be all fame and fortune. It’s going to be a lot of tough work and sacrifice. My stomach may never be the same. Until next time, eats out!
Eats out!
You know? Like Peace out?
Oh fuck it.. forget it. Can’t salvage that one.
