Japanese Snack Roundup



A list of some of the snacks I recieved for my birthday. Note these were given by someone who knows very well that I am vegetarian and there's a lot of meat. Trying to figure out if this is malicious, in jest, or simply innocent:

Dried Ramen (chicken-flavored)
Potato Wafers ("Fried Chicken"-flavored)
Big Katsu no idea what this is, but kastu-don is breaded pork & this looks just like it.
Kamu Kamu Dried Squid
1 Piece of Beef Jerky
Steak-Flavored Strips (of something?)
The Choco Bat baseball bat meets malt ball meets disgusting.
TAKO San dried octopus strip
3 Umai - like giant, horrible-tasting cheeze puffs, sans cheese.
Konbu pickled(?) kelp snack. actually pretty good.
Wasabi Nori wasabi = wasabi. nori = seaweed. exactly what it sounds like.
Ra-Mu-Neif someone took the powder from Bazooka Joe and compressed it into little balls.
Ra-Mu-Ne Cola haven't opened yet, but sounds pretty obvious.

I also got two packs of alcohol-filled chocolates (very popular here) from other people. One was filled with sho-chu, the other with brandy.

mike, happy belated birthday! sorry I didn't remember... but colleen made sure not to remind us! my mom was really sad when she found out it had passed, i think you prob missed out on like a case of cheez-its. normally i would say you weren't missing too much to miss out on that, but it sounds like given your snack options it's a real loss.
