Kasugai Squid Pea Snack: I expected this to be a wasabi pea snack but quickly discovered that pea is short for peanuts. Each crunchy rice ball contains a single peanut. The exterior is crispy and tastes a bit like shrimp crackers (the ingredients list cuttlefish). A bag contains two servings, which go quickly. 3.5/5.0

Kasugai's ramune flavored gummy candy: Surprisingly faithful to the original Japanese soda, even down to the teal blue color of the gummies. Definitely on the sweet side, but good in small quantities. If you are a fan of ramune, this candy will make you very happy. 3.5/5.0

Kikkoman Pearl organic green tea soymilk: Delicious soymilk drink that's also fortified with calcium and high in protein. Texture is smooth, and green tea flavor is very good. Well balanced and not overly sweet. Great flavored soymilk! 4.0/5.0

Koh Kae Spicy Hot Pot Peanuts Mala: Purchased from HMart in Midtown, this can of peanuts has a uniquely spiced chili flavor that actually does taste similar to a schezuan-style hot pot. It’s savory but not overly spicy, with just enough heat. The roasted peanuts themselves were pretty ordinary, but the seasoning makes them worth trying. 3.0/5.0

Koikeya Polinky Corn Soup Flavored Corn Chips: These (crunchy) triangle (!!) snacks have a corn-based flavor similar to Bugles but are covered in a powdered corn potage-like seasoning blend. They mostly taste like MSG. Texturally a cross between Chex Mix and Bugles. Not my favorite corn soup flavored snack but decent. 3.0/5.0
