Compared to Japan, we in the US face a dearth of snacks, a few different flavors of potato and corn chips, and about 15 candy bars and a couple other lackluster things thrown in, while in Japan there seems to be a wider selection of types of snacks.



I like the "Men’s" dark chocolate Pocky, along with Meji black chocolate and bitter chocolate covered almonds. I have always like dark chocolate, but unfortunately 99.9% of chocolate in the US is milk chocolate, which has always been to sweet for my taste.



Just before leaving Japan I usually buy a large amount of chocolate to bring home. One time I was buying essentially a case of the Meji Black chocolate that was sitting behind the ones out for sale, the clerk asked me a couple of times if I realized how much chocolate I was buying, to which I replied affirmatively.
