Shizuoka Jyagariko
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 28 July 2007 in Food & Cuisine.
When you travel around Japan, you'll see souvenir shops selling lots of special regional food and drink, including special regional variations on snack food. I love collecting this stuff; these are eel-flavoured 'Jyagariko' from Shizuoka (eel's famous there). Jyagariko are my favourite snacks in Japan. Just as I missed salt and vinegar or cheese and onion crisps when I left England, Jyagariko are what I'd miss if I left Japan.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

That must really be a very regional thing, I've never seen it. (I'll be driving right by one of Calbee's tater processing centers tomorrow in Utsunomiya, by the way).

@Mike Cash: Very regional! You can get negiyaki ones in Osaka.
