Will Saori's prediction be correct!? Let's check it out right away!

The tour conductors in Japan mentioned these 8 sweets as ones that are well-received when given as gifts to overseas guests!

●KitKat

The first one, and the one that was mentioned by many as being a favorite, is KitKat. It's available overseas as well, but there are many Japan-exclusive flavors, which are unusual and delicious, hence they're very popular.

●Pocky

Pocky is widely sold overseas and has a proper handle, which makes it easy to share, a big appeal! The fact that you can eat it as a snack without getting too full, and that you can eat it casually during tea time or even on the bus, is a highly rated point!

●Chococones

Among Japanese snack lovers, the taste of Chococones and Kinoko no Yama often becomes a topic of discussion. This time we've picked up Chococones, but the uniqueness and cuteness of the shape of the sweets, and above all, the deliciousness of chocolate and biscuits are the highly rated points!

●Alfort

The combination of chocolate and biscuits is very popular among overseas guests, and Alfort is no exception. The beauty of the shape of the sweets, which is more beautiful than cute, and the ease of eating due to individual packaging are also secrets of popularity. Recently, the milk flavor added to the chocolate, the salt flavor added with salt, and the matcha flavor limited to Japan are also popular.

●Choco Pie

This super popular Japanese snack has a unique presence with its fluffy texture and the harmony of chocolate and whipped cream. For Japanese people as well, Choco Pie has a special image as a snack. It gives a feeling of luxury and makes one feel special when eating it, not only for foreign guests but also for Japanese people when they eat it.

●Karamucho

Spicy! But not too spicy! When it comes to a snack that lets you enjoy delicious spiciness, it's Karamucho! There are potato chip type and long stick type, and if you're worried about how spicy it is or if it's not too spicy, we recommend trying the long stick type first!

●Tongari Corn

Actually, this is a snack born overseas, not in Japan. However, it has been loved in Japan for a long time, and everyone in their childhood has done the act of eating this corn snack by fitting it on their fingers. I also did it.

●Pure Gummy

Among the gummies sold in Japan, this snack boasts top-class deliciousness and fame. The heart-shaped gummy with fruit juice kneaded in is abundantly sprinkled with sour powder, making it deliciously heart-throbbing. The fact that it has a zipper for easy storage even after opening is GOOD!

No Pizza Potatoes!? But I can only agree that these 8 snacks have been picked up...... they're all famous and delicious snacks, aren't they?
boss
For our foreign guests, it seems that the evaluation points are not just deliciousness, but also ease of sharing during tours (like not getting hands too dirty), ease of storage, cuteness of appearance, and the abundance of limited flavors that can't be eaten in their own countries.
saori
Certainly. No matter where you go in Japan, there will always be at least one regional limited flavor of KitKat! It's a talking point even if bought as a souvenir...... Grr, I'll do my best to eat and support Pizza Potatoes so that they can get into that position someday!
boss/smile
I wonder which of these snacks our readers know? They are all delicious and classic snacks that even we Japanese people are convinced by, so please try them!
