Theres so much crazy food here in Japan. Some of the food is just new flavours of old favourites, but some of the food is entirely new products the likes of which are hard to imagine before you come here.
Partly at mums request, and partly just so I can remember all the awesome things I try here, I’m going to start posting occasionally about cool food that I try. First up, and hardly a big hitter, Grape Mentos.
Oddly enough, this item tasted exactly like advertised. It was Mentos, a fine product of its own right, with the added bonus of tasting like grape, which is always a flavour I’m willing to support. The thing they were closest to is the grape flavoured kool mints back in New Zealand. But instead of having to throw out all the yucky flavours, I got a whole packet of delicious grape. This set me back 100 yen, which I thought was quite reasonable since convenience stores normally price chocolate bars at 105 yen.
Is that a Japanese trash can in the background? Whatever it is, IT SURE LOOKS COOL.
thankyou I am sure I am not the only person reading this that is interested in what you are eating
They sell them in New Zealand Andy-roo! Have you never had them? How are you? Have you found any exciting sports beverages like the cool one I got you that time???

I never saw them before coming here, so they were certainly new to me.
sports beverages, sport’s beverages!
