Hi guys. This thread is about Japanese Groceries. What are you favourites? What Japanese food have you been dissapointed in? What do you want to buy soon?
Here's my list:
Favourites:
Kewpie Mayo
S&B Mild Curry / Hokkaido Corn Cream Stew
Okonomiyaki flour and sauce / Yakisoba Sauce (plus aonori, red ginger, katsuobushi etc.)
Instant Miso Soup and Dashi
Sushi rice plus nori, vinegar, wasabi etc.
Pokka Coffee/Royal Milk Tea/Calpis
WASABI PEAS!
Furikake (especially wasabi flavour)
Morinaga Pancake Mix (guilty pleasure!)
Natto
Dissapointments:
Ramen noodles, I think they're quite yummy and they taste authentic (unlike the UK variants) however they are so salty they make me feel sleepy and bloated afterwards :(
Pocky, most overrated snack
Collon (too sweet)
Instant Purin (creme caramel)
Things I want to buy but never have:
Mochi
Azuki bean paste
Mochi ice cream
Aburaage (tofu pouches)
Japanese Sweets that are actually delicious.
I *think* that's everything! I have spent FAR too much money in the Japan Centre!
What does everyone else love/hate?
