Shio Yakisoba Aoyuzu Kosho Flavor
We’ve got you a special collaboration for this yakisoba: the seasoning manufacturer Fundokin Shoyu Co., Ltd., which is celebrating its 160th anniversary, collaborates with Sanyo Foods for a unique yakisoba. Made from thin noodles, this dish is salty with a spooky light yuzu sauce made from a mix of tomatoes and pork extract, with a little added spice. It’s delicious!
Maru Uma Tonkotsu Ramen
A classic tonkotsu ramen made with thin noodles and served in a pork flavoured broth with wood ear mushrooms and ginger. It’s low in calories and makes for a tasty light snack or lunch.
Seto Shio Akuma No Ajitsubo Nira
This senbei (せんべい) cracker delivers the taste described in the award-winning recipe book from a Japanese bestseller: Devil’s Pot Garlic Chives – deviliciously tasty!
Scorn Koubashi Corn Flavor
Grilled corn with a little soy sauce bring out its natural sweetness. These small scones come with an exquisite sweetness that all the minion-costumed kids will rave about on their trick-or-treat spree. A fun halloween treat to share.
Gummy No Wa
This candy was specifically designed for you to be creative and shape it into new forms. Can you get it to loop like on the packaging? A fun candy to play with!
Atsugiri Zeitaku Potato Garlic Soy Sauce Flavor
Aomori does have some of the best potatoes in Japan. There is no point debating it. Together with local garlic, and your taste buds will go into overdrive. These crispy and light textured potato chips use a thick-cut wavy preparation method to achieve a voluminous appearance. These are very moreish!
DoraQla No Moto Gum
Dracula’s gum (ドラＱラ) taking you on a trip to Transylvania. Nighttime is atmospherically spooky as you would hope it would be. With every chew, the color changes, leaving your mouth with a bloody stain. Scare the children coming to your door this Halloween by perfecting your Dracula costume with a treat!
Fukufuku Candy
Saving the cutest candy for last, these omikuji (おみくじ, Japanese fortune candies) are a treat for everyone with their fruity flavours.
