I bought way too much at convenience stores, so I’m splitting this over several posts.

cake from Top’s

This one wasn’t from a convenience store. It’s not a fancy dessert, but everyone loves it, young and old. I like it too — back home, 17℃’s cake is the closest thing in taste.

Morinaga’s Cinnamon Sandwich Ice Cream

I hadn’t had cinnamon in a while and got a craving, so I gave it a go… yeah…

Seven-Eleven’s Goroujima Kintoki sweet potato yokan

just okay…

Oyatsu Jukushi semi-dried persimmons

They have semi-dried persimmons in Japan too.

À la campagne

The design is pretty much Qu’il Fait Bon straight up… it tasted good, but still…

Oishisa Sonomama milk bar

just okay…

pistachio maple candy

I thought it was a throat lozenge, but nope…

Yomeishu Seizo throat lozenges

Ken’s Cafe Tokyo gateau chocolat

A collab at FamilyMart! And it tasted pretty good too.

Echire sable sandwich

Pretty to look at, but the taste was just okay…

Sokan Hana no Nodoame throat lozenges

There are loads of throat lozenges that clear a blocked nose, so I tried a few… and they work. Stocked up ahead of pollen season…

Gatsun to, Apple Pie ice bar

This one tasted good.

Uchi Café Kaoru Choco Mint

The mint was seriously strong.

7-Premium waffle cone, chocolate & vanilla

Nothing special.

peanut nanbu senbei, Mamegorou

I bought it to go with drinks, and it wasn’t bad.

Ryukakusan no Nodo Sukkiri Ame

It really does taste like Ryukakusan…

Papico Otona no Noko Gelato, chunky strawberry

Being a limited edition, it was pretty good…

Tsuruya bite-size apples (Shinshu-grown Fuji)

An apple-themed souvenir I picked up in Nagano Prefecture. I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say how it tastes…
