Hontaka Ecorce : This Japanese line of cookies was first established in 1887 and is available in giftstores all around Japan. According to their website (translated to English via Google Translate), the cookie is made of just a few simple ingredients: flour, sugar, oil and fat, and eggs. What makes it unique is the thin and flaky layers, which are almost like a cross between a crepe and mille-feuille (though it's completely dry). Its buttery taste and precisely thin layers, along with its thoughtful packagin... (read more) 4.5/5.0

Jennies coconut macaroons: What drew me to this snack was the old school packaging and very simple list of ingredients. The macaroons come in a cardboard "can" with no visible expiration date. Inside are very moist cookies that taste homemade. They are extremely sweet and definitely the type of snack your dentist would not approve of. But they are also very tasty, which I approve of. Also (and this does not factor into the score at all), I assumed Jennie was a woman, but it turns out he is the original hipster. Check ... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Keebler cinnamon graham crackers: Similar flavor to cinnamon toast crunch. Cookies themselves have a slight cardboard-like consistency. 2.0/5.0

Kuan Sheng Food Seaweed Thin Crackers: These are specialty crackers from Taiwan that are bright matcha green. They contain a kitchen sink of Asian ingredients, from buckwheat to glutinous rice, mung beans, green tea powder, black sesame, and, of course, seaweed. Altogether, though, it somehow works, creating thin, buttery cookies that taste earthy yet faintly sweet and has a slight medicinal quality to it (it contains some mixed Chinese herbs as well). My mom brought this home as a gift from one of her students, so I’m not sur... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Languly green tea cookies: Buttery and rich sandwich cookies with green tea flavoring inside. Comes in a set of four individual packs or 3 cookies each. A little pricy, but very good. 4.0/5.0

Legally Addictive Surprise Party Cookies: Another item from my snack box was a set of "cookies made from crackers," which were biscuit-based crackers loaded with a kitchen sink of ingredients some may crave (half dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles, toffee coated on the other side). As someone who has always felt sprinkles are both frivolous and awful tasting, these sprinkles were fairly neutral – at the very least a largely tasteless (flavor-wise) version of a tasteless (aesthetically) decoration. The best part was the t... (read more) 3.5/5.0
