White day- March 2024
In Japan, girls are the ones expected to gift chocolate to their chosen one on valentines day. If you are female and don’t like this notion, no worries, on white day (March 14th) those who received chocolate on valentine's day are expected to return the favor trifold! This box is filled with white & bright snacks in commemoration of this day!
Kanton Paitan Men Shio from Table Mark
Allergens: wheat, dairy, sesame, soy, chicken Cooking time: 4 minutes How to cook: 1. Remove half of the lid and take out three bags. 2. Open the dried ingredients bag over the noodles, pour boiling water up to the indicated line, and cover. 3. After 4 minutes, add the other two bags, loosen the noodles, stir well, and enjoy. Real wontonmen should be served smoking hot and this bowl is your ticket to do just that! It’s winter, it’s cold, so we made sure to include a hearty ramen that’ll melt away any stiffness and winter depressions ( I have no clinical background, you’ll have to take my word for it). New to this bowl is the Jinhua ham extract, a legendary Chinese ingredient. Wontonmen is the predecessor of Ramen and this bowl mixes that history with creamy powder for that modern twist.
Calpis THE RICH from Asahi
Allergens: dairy, soy Step aside Veuve Clicquot, there’s a new fancy beverage in town, namely Kalpis, The Rich! We cannot confirm how much Kalpis The Rich is drunk during art gallery openings and movie premieres, but we can confirm how it outperforms its classic counterpart with 97% Hokkaido milk and burnt sugar to really drive home that rich feeling. When you really want to reward yourself with a relaxing time, this beverage is the way to go!
O'ZACK Iso Nori Shio from House Shokuhin
Allergens: dairy, wheat, soy, pork Processed in a facility that also processes shrimp and crab The first chips anyone who moves to Japan brings home is any type with nori seaweed as part of the seasoning.

O’Zack is popular for its texture, the crisp is really unique. Then, out of left field, the alp rock salt hits, and the taste completes itself!
