Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Kanagawa Ken Noukyo Chagyo Center Found at: Bokkusu Region: Kanagawa Japanese tea is amazing and you can’t convince me otherwise. There are so many varieties with such a broad range of flavors that you can spend a lifetime and still only drink a tiny fraction of the tea that is out there.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Marusantamakiya Found At: Bokkusu Region: Nagano It’s been a long, cold, wet winter here in Scotland. Storm after storm has pelted us with rain, and wind, and hail. Living next to a popular club, I spent many a dreary evening sitting at the bay window with my neighbors and watching young people in... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sugimoto Found at: Bokkusu I hate it. I get it. But I hate it. Yogurt is just spoiled milk that we’ve tricked ourselves into being able to digest. I’m ok with that – it’s not as if most dairy products are much better, and everyone here knows how much I love dairy.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Satshumarché Found at: Bokkusu Is a tea bag a snack? Debatable. Do I brew tea like it's free? Oh, most definitely. So today, I’ve decided to post about tea, as a blatant affront to all the excellent tea blogs out there who do a much better job and describing tea than I do.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Seiki Found at: Bokkusu The first time I saw an orange growing on a tree, I was totally stunned. Being a Northerner, born and bred, I knew that oranges grew on trees in the same way that I knew that alligators roamed the swamp: I believed it because other people had told me... Continue Reading →
Brand: Yuki & Love Cost: £3 The following story is a tale of a first-world problem extraordinaire. I tell it because, in this time of pandemics and primaries, it is nice to present the world with a problem that is both niche and ridiculous. Behold my tale of woe in four acts: Act...

Brand: Bokkusu Found at: Bokkusu Cost: $3 I don’t know how they did it. I don’t know why they did it. But I have never loved anything so much in my life. This is a freeze-dried strawberry that has somehow been infused with white chocolate and it is outrageously good. It looks exactly like... Continue Reading →
Brand: Bokkusu Found at: Bokkusu The polite way to describe these crackers is: “mayonnaise forward.” If you like eating Miracle Whip out of the jar but always wished it was crunchier, then these are the crackers for you. They are, to put it mildly, powerfully mayonnaise-flavored. In fairness, they are advertised as such, but... Continue Reading →
Brand: Yaokin Found at: Bokkusu TINY POCKET PANCAKES! I’m a sucker for smaller versions of things – and these are particularly delightful. They taste almost exactly like pancakes with maple syrup – sweet and fluffy and full of maple nostalgia. On these cold, stormy winter days, there’s something so wonderful about being able...

Brand: Glico Found at: Bokkusu I don’t pretend to understand this giant, unmeltable ice-cream cone. It’s one of those things that asks more questions than it answers. Who at Glico was eating an ice cream cone and thought to themselves: “If only it were room temperature.”? What CEO or mid-level manager greenlit the idea... Continue Reading →
