Barbie had Japanese guests arrive today, and as a form of gratitude for her helping them today, they had these Japanese snacks all packed up in wonderful packaging.
Now the things is, as most Japanese products are packaged, there is hardly any English language to help determine its contents... so the proof is in the tasting. Still, what little English words it had simply showed this on the box (which was elegantly designed as well) Chocolat - Okoshi. I'd guess, the Okoshi would be a name, and Chocolat would be chocolate - but the thing is, it wasn't. I mean, the contents that is... it was basically rice puffs flavored either with strawberry, green tea and maybe chocolate, the latter because it was really unclear to me if such was choco or more vanilla glaze of sorts.
The other snacks, the one opened are mire like rice crackers with differing sea food flavors. Now... if these are the usual type of Japanese snacks, I won't be surprised as to why they are rarely fat. The snacks may be a bit bland and given their small servings, maybe also calorie conscious. My point? It may be a culturally backed conscious effort to make sure their consumers stay healthy... maybe. Isn't this a great thing?
