Nothing all that remarkable this time, so I’ll keep it short..

Yamawasabi Shio Yakisoba..

It’s billed as a wasabi-flavored yakisoba, so I bought it out of curiosity.. You can certainly taste the wasabi, but it wasn’t a good yakisoba.. Yakisoba and wasabi just don’t go together, it seems..

Cup Noodle Karamen

Spicy flavors are a trend in Japan too, so products like this turn up.. The taste was just so-so..

Hotei Yakitori Toritama

It’s canned yakitori, and it works well enough as a drinking snack. Nothing amazing taste-wise, but it’s nice to just warm up and eat.

Mala Peanuts

This one is a real treat, so I keep buying it.

Sanriku Kamaishi Nakamuraya Oyster Ramen

Perfectly edible, nothing more.

Hanjan N Gul (oysters to go with a drink)

Is that Bonobono on the box?.. The taste is ordinary.. Well, it’s a drinking snack..

Pasta Tai, Saga Wagyu Bolognese

I really do like this series.

Hotei Yakitori Tori Tsukune

When I was young I never understood the middle-aged guys who ate this stuff.. But these days, with age, going out to meet anyone feels like too much trouble.

Taimeiken x Ninben Nihonbashi Curry

The katsuo dashi makes it easy to eat, but for the price it’s unremarkable..

Ankimo

This one is really tasty too. The only problem, if you can call it that, is the quantity.. It’s rich, and you have to eat it fast..

Asada Ame Hana-Nodo-Ame EX

A throat lozenge that clears your nose right out.

Lemo-can Miyajima Mussels

Less satisfying than the oyster one..

Ça va? Can, Domestic Mackerel Acqua Pazza

I bought this one for nothing.. For the Ça va? cans, basil or lemon really is the classic..

Yoshinoya Kanmeshi Gyudon

It’s sold as an emergency preserved food. I bought it because it seemed novel.

Opening the lid..

It’s not just beef and sauce, there’s rice in there too.. Considering the price, going to an actual Yoshinoya is the right answer. The can costs more than a bowl of gyudon.. I’d only recommend it to someone who has to have gyudon no matter what..

Lemo-can Hiroshima Ko-iwashi

Another drinking snack.. I’ve tried all sorts of these.. and honestly, going out to eat is the better option more often than not.. But with covid, and being lazy, they’re a decent stand-in.
