A friend used to send me a few Japanese snacks now and then. I still have the tin from the "Grave of the Fireflies" candy.

And you still make it out of bed everyday without sobbing uncontrollably at the sight of it?

It's on a bookshelf in another room and at an placement removed from normal sight-lines.  No way I'd have that where I'd notice it on a regular basis.  There is a Totoro plush on the same shelf to counter-act any negative emotions.  Also, a plush of a cat inside a muffin.  The Japanese really like the concept of edible cats.

Well if anyone knows how to eat pussy, it's the Japanese.

Update in the OP.

- Peach caramel Corn
This one is actually amazing. tastes like cheese puffs but sweet and with very light peach flavor. I'm almost getting addicted.

- Pickled Sakura Daikon
Actual pickled Daikon. Most probably would not qualify in most countries legally as candy. I like pickled things and this one was quite tasty.

- Waku Waku Animal Soft Candy (this one is DIY with plastic shapes to form the animal you want)
I fail to get the point of this one. Why would I want to work for my candy? it's just 2 tiny plastic shapes with 2 kinds of different flavored soft candy. I didn't even bother and ate the soft candy raw.

Welp that's it. Last piece is gone and it was yet again green tea flavored. At least I know now what to avoid when going to Japan.

Overall I give this crate a 5/11. The candycorn was amazing, the daikon was interesting and the sakura mochi chocolate was a pleasant surprise.

Next crate should arrive in a month or so.
