Japan is a land of many wonders, including interesting and amusing foods. The point of this post is not to say that the U.S. isn't full of strange/weird/funny things (such as fried twinkies or beef jerkey), but just to point out some Japanese products that I have found facinating.
To start, Wine Paring Snacks. Joe found these at the local convenience store. Yes, Frito Lay has come out with chips paired to the 2008 Beaujolais nouveau! These classy chips include two flavors, Cheese Fondue and Garlic Toast. Really I was reminded of Cheese Sunchips and Doritos, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they kind of matched the wine. I really love the image of the man at the top.
Next up, Pepsi White. I was hoping this would be good, but it tasted like a tart cream soda.
Last, and certainly not least, tortillas masquarading as pizza crust. To find flour tortillas was really exciting, especially considering that our favorite Osaka Mexican restaurant just went out of business. But, why are they labeled as pizza crust? The same store sells regular pizza crust and flour tortillas labeled as such. A mystery....
