Riska Takoyaki Corn Snacks: I loved sampling the different Umaibo flavors available from the local Japanese supermarket when I was living in Berkeley, CA, but I actually had no purchased any Umaibo since living in Japan. However, when I saw this Takoyai flavor, one I had never come across, I knew I had to try it. The snack consists of ring-shaped corn snacks (this one actually included some octopus-shaped pieces too). They're coated in a robust seasoning flavored like takoyaki sauce, which is sweet and a little bit tangy, almost like a bbq sauce but tasting more heavily of worcestershire. It's definitely for junk food fans; I did enjoy trying this new flavor but probably wouldn't choose to purchase it again. 3.0/5.0
