Japanese Snack and Candy Haul - What I Purchased in Japan

Japanese Snacks and Candies Haul

As I mentioned in my previous entry, my husband and I have visited Japan this winter. We purchased our favorite Japanese snacks at Muji in Japan, and we also purchased more snacks and candies at a supermarket and drugstore there.

If you love Japanese snacks and candies, you can check out my entries including poplar Japanese candies and snacks, my previous hauls and etc. This time, I'm going to share 8 products I purchased in Japan with you. Some of them have been my all-time favorite since I was a child. ;)

Kanro (カンロ) makes hard candies and was founded in Yamaguchi, Japan, in 1912. They started selling Premium Milk Candy (濃い贅沢金のミルク) in 2012. According to Kanro, their Premium Milk Candy became the best selling candy in all milk flavor hard candies in Japan. This one has a lot of positive reviews on Amazon US as well. This candy is made from high quality ingredients such as heavy cream produced in Hokkaido. If you haven't tried this candy, you should have one! It's so delicious and has rich creamy taste. Their matcha candy (Kanro Premium Milk Candy Matcha, カンロ金のミルク濃い贅沢抹茶) is also very popular.
