2. Calbee Coriander Potato Chips
Well, it just seems like coriander has been trending in Japan, and that explains the birth of the chips as shown below. For those adventurous individuals, be warned! The taste lingers around and sneaks up on you well after you've chewed it, all we can say it, it's not exactly the best way to get your coriander fix.

3. Nakiryu Dandan Cup Noodles
Don't be mistaken, we still love our Ippudo and Ichiran ramen, but we just couldn't resist Nakiryu Dandan Cup Noodles. Why? Because it's a Michelin- Star cup noodles, and how often can you get Michelin starred food at such affordable price (~200 Yen, SGD2.50)? Just buy!

4. AFURI Cup Noodles
We do have a fair share of pork broth, chicken broth or spicy broth cup noodles in Singapore, but Yuzu broth cup noodle is definitely something new for us. We totally love the refreshing taste of the noodles. Remember to try all 3 flavors- Shoyu Yuzu Ramen, Shio Yuzu Ramen, and Spicy Yuzu Rantanmen.
