I believe this belongs in the lounge.. lol

Well anyhow, have you guys every tried Meiji's Kinoko no Yama? They are Japanese chocolate mushroom shaped prtzels. I've only had 3 boxes of them in my lifetime so far. I've been obsessed with them since the 8th grade (yea, it's been 2 years) and I've been countlessly searching for these chocolates everytime I go to any Asian food market. Sadly, I've failed. I found it once in L.A. but I can't find it any more. And the other 2 boxes, I got my friend to buy for me. But I don't like to ask her alot. Does anyone know where else you can get them, besides online? Usually, if you buy them online, they charge more than they're worth lol.

Here's a picture:

i think pocky sells them

<- hey, 1000th post!

there's alot where I live. I haven't tried any yet though.

OMG, SOMEONE MOVE THIS TO

INTERESTS > FOOD NAO

OH NOES

OK, ITZ BEEN DONE.

I've never had these even though I've seen them around.

THAT'S NOT PROPER GRAMMAR

FRIGGEN NAZI. YOU'RE NOT ON STAFF ANYMORE.


I still can't find the strawberry ones. I sometimes see the chocolate ones at 99 Ranch. But the strawberry ones are so much better!

I DEVIATED FROM MY USUAL GRAMMAR-FREAKNESS FOR ONE POST, OKAY.

Haha, there are puzzles for this! http://www.strapya-world.com/products/24215.html

Christina, maybe they're only offered around White Day? That's what this article says. http://calorielab.com/news/2008/03/06/choc...apan-continues/

OMG THOSE COME IN BAMBOO SHAPES TOO!

they sell them at my local ichiban kan dollar japanese store.

I guess bumping this topic wasn't so bad after all ey Christina?

anyways you call it 99 Ranch? I call it Ranch 99 haha.

AW AREN'T DEY CUTE

IDK Most, if not all, the Asian people I know call it 99 ranch, but I think some of Tony's white friends call it Ranch 99. Doesn't matter.

I got the takenoko last time and I thought they tasted crappy, imo. I mean, it's not even a pretzel for that one I want the pretz with it, so I prefer the kinoko no yama (mountain of mushrooms) instead. =X The cookie part is definitely different. But they're really cute though!

And OMG Cristy, they only offer it during white day? Damn, I don't even know if it'll be imported over here and offered during white day! My friend bought it for me, but she's Japanese and she might've gone somewhere out of San Diego to get it, IDK! But they're soo good =X

they have them at the mitsuwa market here in LA. in little tokyo.

I've seen them before but never bought them.

Aww man, I saw this topic like two months ago. I should have bumped it then.

Does that one have the strawberry ones? Yea I saw the chocolate ones recently at the San Diego Mitsuwa too ;x

I LOVE THESE! they are soosososososo good
i had the bamboo shaped ones when i got them though x]

yeahh i think so. i saw many kinds today. i even saw these weird five sample packs attached in one long row. they had like chocolate, strawberry, and some mixed flavored.

you want me to get you some from hk?

Yea, just the strawberry ones though.

I need to go tomorrow to get your YanYans, since I'll be free tomorrow to go! :D I also have a $1 off a 20$ purchase, so I can grab some sushi as well. ;x
