Here’s some of the snacks we had from our snack box!

Chocolate-covered freeze-dried strawberries: very tasty, could have eaten quite a few more! Nicely thick layer of chocolate too.

Chocomochi, soft rice cakes with chocolate. They were individually wrapped, and then wrapped in some kind of edible wrapper. Which is good, because they were very sticky and chewy. Very nice.

Ogura An Pie: we had two of these. Very nice soft flaky crust around a soft and smooth sweet red bean paste. Sometimes red bean paste can be overly sweet, but this was really nice with a good structure.

Two really small snacks: a Osaka Chiyoko, a crushed millet snack. We liked it, but there was only a single one in the box, which feels a bit cheap. It was very nice though.
The snack on the right is an arare, a rice cracker. This was nice, but I did not feel it was that special. The packaging features famous spots in Osaka, and we got the one with Osaka Castle.

I do not like seafood, and so I did not expect to like the red ginger squid bites. And I was right: the squid taste was quite strong, even though the soy sauce and ginger were also clearly there. I just had one of these, and klik was happy to take care of the rest.

The best snack we had (so far…) from was the maneki neko (beckoning cat) rice cracker. Quite a hefty thing.
Here in the Netherlands, rice crackers are often glazed with a sugary syrup, but this rice cracker has been dunked in high quality soy sauce and then grilled, which resulted in nice crunchy texture and soft sweet taste.
