Most Japanese packaging is quite interesting in itself -Super rats. There’s a great book on classic Japanese packaging called : “How to Wrap Five Eggs”. It’s a good book that shows how the Japanese have paid attention to wrapping, carrying, and presenting items through the ages.

The only place I’ve seen this candy is online. If there’s a Mitsuwa near you I’d try there. -Zingor, does your Mitsuwa carry this stuff?

One of the things I like about most bags of Japanese candies is the packaging. It makes whatever it is seem that much more special. I’ve never seen this particular candy at ye old asian grocery store here in Philadelphia, but I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
