Riska Corn Potage Corn Snack: There is nothing subtle about this Japanese fried snack. Shaped like onion petals, each bite combines the best of sour cream and onion with corn soup, a surprisingly sweet and savory combination that seems obvious in retrospect but refreshingly new at the same time. Intensely concentrated creamed-corn taste, like a powdered form of the liquid from canned corn. There's also small bits of dried parsley that cut through and round out the umami goodness. Airy, puffed consistency, with a text... (read more) 5.0/5.0

Tiny but Mighty kettle popcorn: This snack features a special line of heirloom kernels whose hulls disintegrate when popped. This means that there are virtually no shells to pick from your teeth after eating, (useful science!). While the kernels are small, they have the perfect balance of salty and sweet. An especially addictive snack that quickly disappears despite a 10-serving bag. The marketing claims that this product will change the way you think about popcorn forever-a tall order, but it lives up to its promise! Purc... (read more) 4.5/5.0

Riska Mentai Corn Snack: I love that Japanese culture is seemingly contradictory. There is the upmost respect for serenity and simplicity, along with an obsession with quality and workmanship (e.g., tea gardens, sashimi and sushi rice, Yurbai melons) - yet, at the same time, it can be loud, brash, and colorful (e.g., manga, Pachinko). This purple bag of Mentai (cod roe) puffed corn snacks is sensory overload all on its own, with multiple exclamation points, bold lettering, and metallic silver foil highlighting. I...

Bhan Kanom Thai Pangchi: Pangchi is a bite-sized sticky rice pancake cooked on the griddle, giving it a crispy crust on both sides and mochi-like interior mixed with corn. While not captured in this photograph, panchi are actually lilac in color. Mochi is my favorite snack, and this take on crispy mochi was eye opening and delicious. A perfect bite. Purchased from the Thai dessert specialty store Bhan Kanom Thai in LA. 4.5/5.0

Green Hat sweet corn ice bar: a milky and creamy ice cream base studded with real kernels of sweet corn. The flavor is surprisingly good and interesting, but the texture of the corn is a bit strange to bite into. Overall, the bar is a little bit on the sweet side, but it's a rich treat worth trying. 4.0/5.0
