Today's Sweet Haul: Morinaga Caramel and Ramune

Looks like a cigarette box... Smells like Matcha!

     I found a mini japanese sweets haunt today!!! Hidden away underneath the busy streets of Clarke Quay at The Central (a Mall), is the store YAMAKAWA SUPER. yes. that's the name of the store. It is quite as SUPER as they claim it to be. Rows and rows of shelves stocked with Japanese snacks and treats, plus, a section with imported Japanese drinks like the ever-so-popular Calpis, Ramune sodas and gasp! sake (Which i'm not old enough to even touch).

    They have a wide selection of interesting looking sweets, half of which I can't even tell if they are sweets or kid's toys. SO anyway, I was allowed to buy just two. 

   First up, Morinaga Caramel in Matcha flavour. If you're a big fan of sticky, chewy caramels, then this is the sweet for you (If you can find it, it's a particularly shy creature.) They come in all sorts of flavours, from the usual chocolate and milk, to the surprising sweet potato, pudding and Azuki (red bean). Also, they come in a really neat packaging - a slide out match box. Personally,  I like the Matcha flavour best. It's really nice and milky, kinda like green tea ice cream. 

Decorative Totoro figures not included (I made them myself)

Also made by the same company is this bottle of Ramune flavoured tablets. Ramune, for those unfamiliar with the drink, is a japanese soda. It's sort of like a sweeter version of sprite, and it's a flavour that's very popular wherever Japanese sweets are concerned. These sweets taste very much like your average soda tablets, and they dissolve pretty fast too. not surprising in the very least.

     

   If you ever want to try out some other interesting japanese morsels, here's the address to the place:

6 Eu Tong Sen Street #B1-28B

The Central Singapore 059817

Tel: 6534-9518

(Haha I got this from the receipt)

BEWARE the place is like a maze, and it's kinda hard to find your way around the basement. The Mall's fairly easy to locate though. All you have to do is to alight at the clarke quay MRT station. Good luck!
