Taste tests: Ebi-kun Eats and taste tests - Baby star ramen

I imagine that one drunken night, someone was looking through their cupboard to see what to eat in their drunken stupor and decided to try ramen noodles without cooking them first. And they discovered, that actually, they taste quite good and so the ramen snack was born (this is all speculation but in my head this is how it happened!)

Ebi-kun is trying Baby Star Ramen snack for the first time in this episode of Ebi-kun eats and no, he didn't get drunk beforehand...

Seasonal Snacks

One thing Japan does really well is seasonal snacks! Not only have the produced every flavour of Kit-Kat you can imagine of but they have other seasonal snacks pop up too. Autumn is a season of yummy food, mushrooms, pumpkins, chestnuts and sweet potatoes. Which leads us onto this...
Takenoko cookie, takenoko is bamboo shoot, so this is a cookie snack shaped like a bamboo shoot, they are usually topped with milk chocolate but the seasonal variant is sweet potato flavoured chocolate and black sesame seed cookie....

I wasn't fussed on them but Ebi-kun and Daddy liked them. I would love to know how they come up with such ideas, my theories are..
A) they ask a bunch of kindergartener to invent some new flavours or
B) they get everyone drunk, leave them in a room with random items and see which ones they come up with to make a tasty snack!

It's not just snacks that get a seasonal makeover, beer does to and Kirin's autumn brew is my all time favourite, I will be picking some up next supermarket run!
