Salt and Lemon Baumkuchen: Ever had a salted lemon flavored cake? I hadn't up to this point in my life, and I wish I had. This import from Japan is very well balanced, with a concentrated acidic flavor. Like most Japanese pastries, it's lightly sweetened. Texture is a bit dense but not dry. Honestly better than many fresh cakes I've had. 4.0/5.0

Trader Joe's Peanut Butter & Oat Bars: Honestly tastes more like a cookie than an oat bar, but I'll take it! Surprisingly moist and filling. Good peanut butter flavor and chewy texture. 3.5/5.0

Kameda Ageichiban: Japanese rice crackers individually wrapped with a half-dome, textured shape. Crunchy and slightly sweet. Tastes like a familiar yet improved rice cake. Addicting. 3.5/5.0

Perky Jerky Jamaican style turkey jerky: A wet rather than dry jerky, similar to what you might get with Asian-style jerky. Unexpectedly, the taste reminded me of Chinese sausage since it had a pretty sweet flavor. Spice mix finished with a bit of heat. Good quality turkey meat. 3.5/5.0

Tao Kae Noi seafood flavored crispy seaweed: I've become pretty fond of this line of seaweed snacks: each piece of seaweed has a unique, crispy texture, but it's still thin so it feels like a light snack. The seafood flavor contains a mix of cuttlefish, shrimp, and crab. Definitely distinctly seafood in a sort of traditional Asian way, but I like it. Too bad each bag only had 2 servings. 3.5/5.0

Harvest deluxe whole cranberries: Plump and exceptionally good cranberries that work great in oatmeals or salad. Very sweet, like most dried fruit, so use wisely but sparingly. 4.0/5.0
