Japanese Snack Reviews
OK, so I’m a bit of a closet J-snack addict. I avoid going to the Asian Markets on an empty stomach due to the fact that I fill the cart with bags and boxes of glorified, international junk food. Who’s with me on that? I can’t resist food that tastes so incredibly [...]
I visited East-East Oriental Grocery the other day and then went straight to Olive Farmer’s Market. I realized afterwards that EE would probably be a better bet to get traditional anime snacks than at Olive Farmer’s Market. I hadn’t thought too much about it before since I’m not a huge fan of Pocky, Hi-chew and [...]
Found it!! Oh yeah, jackpot on Olive Blvd. in St. Louis. I have found my numero uno place for the goods when I gots ta get me my Japanese food fix on. THE place to get all that’s worth getting in the way of Hi-Chew, Pretz, weird marshmallow things, and a shit-load of all kindsa [...]

I am still determined, though, to finding the best and largest selection of Pocky and whatnot this [...]
I posted an article a while back titled “Where to Pocket Pocky†in which I listed two places in St. Louis to get your Asian goody groove on. One was Global Foods in Kirkwood and the other was J International Food. I have thus far only visited J International Food, which is only like nine [...]
So you moved here from a land of milk and honey compared to Carbondale’s anime scene.
