taste test (Page 62)
Company that previously produced made-in-Japan Oreos is back in the sandwich cookie game, and our reporter Meg is ready to score the fight.
Fugu, one of Japan’s most gourmet foods, is the ramen star of the classy Ginza neighborhood.
After the incredible success of the green tea Frappuccino, Meg tries out the new tea flavor exclusive to Japan.
Come with us as we try these two new packs, which incorporate unique rose petal toppings in deliciously different ways.
Starbucks and coffee nuts alike shouldn’t miss out on this unique, luxurious method of coffee preparation.
We’ve had our expectation betrayed by “matcha” foods before, but what happens when we try this instant curry from Kyoto?
Warm, cute and delicious – this is the type of Pokémon everyone in Japan wants to catch right now.
The cool Frappuccino and its hot counterpart are some of the sauciest, best looking drinks we’ve ever tasted.
Come with us as we take a look inside the cream-filled presents and snowman-shaped doughnuts ahead of their official release.
Demi-glace soup is the fanciest-sounding, best-tasting machine-sold canned treat we’ve had in a long time.
Our reporter with the larger-than-life character gives us his verdict on the equally giant sweet.
