Japanese Snacks and Candies Haul - What He Purchased at Convenience Stores in Japan

      As I mentioned in my previous entry, my husband went on his business trip to Tokyo, Japan, last month. He only stayed in Japan for two days (It was just one night.), so he didn't have enough time to shop around. Yet, he was able to purchase some snacks and candies at convenience stores in Tokyo. You know, in Japan, convenience stores are every where in big cities like Tokyo. You can find these at convenience stores, supermarkets and discount stores in Japan. If you want to purchase some of these in Japan, I recommend you to check them at supermarkets and discount stores because they might be cheaper. Some large drugstores also sell grocery with affordable prices. Convenience stores sell most products with regular prices, so they are a bit expensive. :) Anyway, today, I'm going to share what he purchased at convenience stores with you.

         They were pretty good! These are made by Wakasaya Honpo (わかさや本舗), but many of my friends from Hokkaido used to give me similar cookies, Marusei Butter Sand (マルセイバターサンド), made by Rokkatei (六花亭), as delicious souvenirs from Hokkaido. I believe that Rokkatei ones are the original one. If you travel Hokkaido, you should try Rokkatei Marusei Butter Sand!
