Do they still have a replica of a galleon ship in the lake below mt Fuji? When i was but a small lad we visited said boat.

Ugh, I always hate when random links get killed. :| Here's a Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Panda

Albeit, I do need to try some more interesting treats!

Omg, those things are delicious!

Hm... I know that Wegman's sells Hello Panda (that's how I first tried it), but Kroger doesn't. I was wondering if I had an Asian market near me (I know of one, but it's a few miles away), and I realized... I think there's one right across the road! I rarely ever go to that little plaza, so I never thought about it! D:

Anyway, I also like the Kasugai gummy candies! Unfortunately, they don't sell those at Kroger either, but Wegman's never let me down. Man... I miss Wegman's.

EDIT:

Kroger do sell these udon noodles that I like. I mean... I think ramen tastes better, but ramen also has nearly 2x as many calories per package! To note, I think Target sells just about all of the stuff that I've mentioned that Kroger sells... except for Ramune (I think).

Go to Himeji and buy me a bombos crest.

Although they're also available here, OP should try some Gokuri. THey're not cheap ($4 a pop) but my Lawd are they good. Also, food in Japan is cheaper and better so enjoy.

Still in Japan? Highlights from my trip 4 years ago:

1) convenience store breakfast. nigiri from 7-11 are great. Just make sure you open the package correctly
2) Shaka-Shaka Chicken from McDonalds
3) "fast food" So it's not fast food exactly, but simple sit down meals. Curry, ramen, udon. Stuff that's typically a little more fancy in America, but you can eat there for relatively cheap and I thought was really good.
4) Okonomiyaki/moncha. In Tokyo, there's a neighborhood that my native friends took us to with shops and up and down the street. They chose one based on a recommendation out of a magazine or guidebook.
5) Cheap sushi. We went to a Kaiten Sushi place in Kyoto. Wasn't the best I had, but at 105Yen/plate, fresh is all I really need. As an added touch for cuteness/ambiance, when you order items instead of picking them up off the belt, it comes to you automatically pulled by a mini bullet train.
6) http://wikimapia.org/12593255/Nippara-Limestone-Caves Was a good half day to visit. ?90? minute train ride each way, and then a bus, then a bit of a hike.
