Bonchi Ponsuke Nori-Aji: One of my favorite things about Asian snacks is the combination of sweet and savory. These substantially-sized wheat crackers have a sweet, soy-like glaze with speckles of nori. Balance is very good. Texture is similar to a rice cracker, but slightly more dense. Very addicting. For the type of snack it is, it's one of the best I've had. From Japan. 4.5/5.0

Pocky Cookies and Cream: Creamy coating with bits of chocolate cookie. Cookie bits add texture. Coating had a waxy feel. Flavor overall is reminiscent of Hershey's cookies and cream bars. Sweeter than most Japanese snacks, but not as sweet as American candy. Decent. 3.0/5.0

Honestly better than many fresh cakes I've had. 4.0/5.0

While the package had very little English, the words \"Japanese cracker\" are misleading; instead, inside are strips of eel with a soft yet meaty texture not unlike jerky. The flavor is savory and sweet, similar to the sweet glaze on takoyaki. Overall, ... (read more) 3.0/5.0
