Variety!

Japanese food is tasty. The only drawback is the lack of variety-- nearly everything is seasoned with the same base ingredients [soy sauce, dashi, mirin are the top 3, with vinegar and sugar rounding out the top 5].

But the flip side is the crazy rotation for snack foods. Puccho introduces limited flavors every season; Ozacks potato chips do as well. After getting hooked on the chocolate tofu, I was disappointed to find it'd been replaced by gooey-and-not-tasty kinako/kuromitsu flavor. Last week I just found a seasonal coffee-in-a-can.



How many Kit Kat flavors do you want? Here you've got original, adzuki bean, white chocolate, strawberry and melon. Spring's new flavor is Cherry Blossom Breeze, but I think that's a yearly flavor. You can usually find Fruit Parfait and Bitter Chocolate. Too bad Kit Kats are inherently evil.
