Recently i found a place to get all kinds of candy shipped from japan so i splurged and ordered like 300$ worth of random japanese candy to get a run of a miniscule amount of japanese candy.

Best place to get random Japanese candy are the little markets on the walks up to really touristy shrines, and also this little place just outside tokyo called candy alley
except we got totally lost trying to find it, when we finally did it was really really busy, then we got lost trying to find our way back to a train station!
So worth it for the adventure to candy land though hehe

Yeah I suppose. It kind of amuses me how some of my friends try Pocky and think they are being so brave by trying something "foreign".

That sounds cool! Did you ever accidently buy something that wasn't what you expected it to be? I got a drink once that looked like a little bottle of flavored milk, but on the side wrapper it showed a picture of an egg. xD I still drank it and it was good but I never found out if it actually had egg in it or not. Lol.

It made me sad that a stupid webshow where they scream "HAMM!!" for their comedy punchlines every three seconds won against a good Japanese comedy, in a contest held within JAPAN itself! *rants more on iCarly's ignorance*

Anywho, my favorite Japanese candies are Yan Yan and Hi-Chew. There are also these delicious cookie things I came across called Collon, as well as D'asses - they were very tasty.

Pocky is good as well, but only in flavors such as milk, or when it's dipped in cookie crumbs.

Oh really? Haha. Weird.

Yeah one of my favorite flavors (that I have tried) is the chocolate Pocky with cookie bits on it. The other candies you mentioned sound interesting. -Searches for them online-

Ahh yes the fizzy candy is truly the best hard candy I have ever had. The Ramune is delicious too! I have a hard time dislodging the glass ball though. xD
