This time, I would like to talk about legendary snack. “Umaibo”.

    Prices keep going up though! Corn potage and cheese for the win!

    You must try the yakitori flavor, it’s the only one that has a crispy shell instead of a powder. Favorite one. 食べたことある？

    Along with corn potage, yasai salad, mentai, and sugar rusk. But I love them all.

    I haven’t had Umaibo in a while. But the flavor varieties on these are crazy good! I loved the curry one

    Take a bite so people can see the texture/what it’s like inside.

    Mentaiko and sugar rusk are my favorite but really all flavors are good.

    This is an amazing snack, it’s 13 yen at mu local Belc. They are delicious but not very filling. One time I bought 50 thinking it would last me a while but I ate them all in one sitting.

    I got high and ate like 30, threw up and can’t touch them since.

    Great snack tho

    The purple is my favorite but don’t kill me I prefer the rings in the bag I think they are considerably less salty

    It’s says mentaiko (small fish roe) but to an American the first thing that comes to mind is BBQ lays

    The salami one surprised me. I was ready to not like it, but it was really accurate salami flavor and didn’t feel that strange to eat in that format.

    I brought a bag of them from a seller on Amazon once. Had one that tasted like apple pie. And one that made my tongue numb after eating it. It sucks how expensive it is to get them now.

    One time I walked by Shinjuku east exit and they were being handed out . Nasty tasting.
