Online Japanese snack shopping?
 
I've been to these websites.


asianfoodgrocer.com

asiansnacktime.com

asianmunchies.com

jbox.com

They sell some good snacks. Are there any other websites you recommended that sell a big variety of Japanese snacks? Preferably sites that sell puccho candy, Fits gum, or Qoo brand drinks?

I would not buy taiyaki online.

That's like buying milk online.

How can you be obsessed with something you have never eaten?

That's like being obsessed with Japanese people even though you never met one.

Don't tell me you've never been obsessed with some female you've never even talked to? :D

here's the thing. I don't have a car in which i can go to the store and buy common Japanese foods everytime I want.

i'm looking for a website containing foods sold only in Japan in which I can shop safely without leaving the house. thank you. ^^

It isn`t as if taiyaki is gourmet food...

Buy a pack of pancake mix. Buy a can of anko.
if the anko has a lot of liquid syrup, drain some of it away and then crush them so it`s a pretty lumpy consistency.
Start making two thin pancakes.
Before the pancakes are done, when only the very bottom has started to brown and the top is still pretty much liquid - drop a glop of the anko on one, and flip the other over on top of it. (So that it`s like a pouch with the anko inside.)

Cook on low heat until heat has gone completely through it.

Congratulations. You`ll know what a taiyaki tastes like.

What is your criteria for "sold only in Japan"?
There seem to be plenty of things on those sites that is likely sold only in Japan.
Or do you mean things that really are only sold in Japan, and which would be impossible to get outside of Japan (thus ruling out buying somewhere online...)?

Have you tried Amazon.co.jp?
They will ship almost anywhere and is intended for the Japanese market.
