Yakult is well known for its Yakult milk drink which can be found in supermarkets overseas as well as Japan. Yakult has a number of subsidiaries that make other products such as these cereal bars made from Yakult Health Foods.
One thing which you often find in the convenience store is a corner stocked with bites to go down with beer or Japanese sake. Otsumami (おつまみ) usually give me the image of old men sitting around sipping sake and eating dried squid or beef jerky. Lets have a look at some of the offerings here.
Ok, if you are not into Japanese sake, then you will need something to wash down all that beef jerky and dried squid. How about a bottle of Cassis Fanta from New Zealand to get things going.
If cookies are more your thing, then Fujiya has 2 new types of chocolate chip you can try.
Lots of variety this week from my friendly Family Mart store. What’s your favorite type of product? Are you more into the chocolates or is your thing otsumami? Do you like to find a cold drink or are you looking for some hot ginger tea?
I love dried squid. They make great companion for some after dinner snacks and beer while you chat with your friends.
When I first saw the title on Twitter, I thought it was Yakult flavored cereal bars
The bourbon chocolates looks so good! hope that they’ll have it in the Japanese mart here
intersting to note the Yakult snack bars advertise as 50 kcals. Snack bars trying to advertise low calories here all say 100 cals
there are so many products here trying to be low cal snack bars. i prefer to see a nutrient bar than a diet bar 🙂

Yeah another conbini monday 🙂 I think i’ve seen the cm for it on tv for the Yakult milk drink, will have to pay closer attention to make sure it’s the same brand you are talking about. if it is, they sure are some small bottles. Yakult, don’t they also have a Baseball team? I think they’re called the “Swallows”. The bars look yummy, nom nom.
Which one is your fave/ mine would be the chocolate. Ginger milk tea sounds good also. Those bourbon chocolates, do they have a liquor smell or taste to them? Cause the ones I’ve had here, the smell and taste can “Knock you for a Loop”! That fanta drink, is that still a Coca Cola subsiderary? What flavor is that?
Now I’m a stickler for cookies, would really like to try them. And the jerky, don’t know if I’d like squid,just doesn’t appeal to me. I’ma liken the beef flavor. around here they’res alot of different types of snacks to munch on while drinking beer, we have one called “Beer Nuts” sort of a sweet and salty type of peanut,tates great w/ beer or soda.
Love the new design of the wed page.
Have a great week.
When re the contest results coming out?
Oh beef jerky it’s been too long! xD
Though in reality most of the time I’m happier snacking on chocolate ^^
chocolate coated beef jerky? LOL
