A great start for any person new to the adorably squishy joys of mochi. With a light flavor and interesting texture from the addition of chopped walnuts kneaded throughout the dough, this little rectangular mochi will make a mochi-lover out of you! We love the faint notes of soy sauce that tangoes with the sugary coating. You’ll go nuts for this mochi with how warm and fuzzy it’ll get you feeling, right in time for the autumn!

Lovingly dusted with kinako (roasted soybean) powder, this mochi is made with and contains little bits of kurumi (walnuts) in them! Soft and stretchy, this mochi is just the right start to the beginning of the autumn months with its deep, nutty flavor from the combined power of the kinako and walnut. For more intensity, a good dose of soy sauce is also added to the dough for a little unexpected saltiness. A bit heavier in flavor than the Kurumi Walnut Mochi; which one do you like better?

Nothing says autumn like the rich, sweet flavor of a freshly roasted sweet potato! This special fall flavor of our favorite mochi puffs is a stunning recreation of this fall staple. The first taste is sweet like brown sugar but quickly melds into a buttery delight as it melts away. The complex sweetness of sweet potato is hard to describe, but do we need to when this puff so perfectly captures its flavor? Rich in flavor yet light in texture, these mysterious mochi puffs have wowed us again!

This savory rice cracker features kombu (seaweed) from Hidaka in Hokkaido, which is famous for its high quality kelp. You can see flecks of this umami-rich ingredient baked into each cracker along with soy sauce and salt for an addictingly savory taste. It’s actually kombu that led to the discovery of umami, the fifth flavor. Kombu’s popularity in cooking and snacks is due to its ability to enhance the other flavors in a dish without taking the spotlight. Here, though kombu is a fun guest star, the flavor of rice shines through. This beloved grain is the bedrock of the Japanese diet and has two harvest periods throughout the year: one in spring, and one in fall.

A nice warm brew is just what chilly weather calls for. Hojicha is made by roasting sencha green tea, which lowers caffeine content and adds a toasty roasted flavor. This Organic Hojicha is a little on the lighter side in terms of flavor, making it perfect for pairing with both sweet and savory foods. WIthout overpowering the flavors of the snacks it accompanies, it gently cleanses the palette with each sip.

Is there anything more comforting in the colder months than a nice warm bowl of classically Japanese ramen? While we can’t guarantee (or advise) that this snack is warm, you can get the flavor of ramen with the crunchy texture of these dried noodles. Even more befitting the season is the fun and funky Halloween designs on the packaging. Between the festive design and the unbeatable ramen-flavored taste of this snack, just try to not get in the Halloween spirit!

This delicious doughnut is the fall dessert of our dreams. Black tea leaves are infused into the batter to create a dense, creamy donut that melts in your mouth to reveal the aromatic flavor of Royal Milk Tea. As black tea has a more floral flavor, we recommend pairing this doughnut with an earthy tea like this month’s roasted hojicha.

These unique chips are made with slices of umami-rich eringi (King Oyster Mushroom). Seasoned with butter and soy sauce, this chip’s delicate mushroom flavor greets you at the end of each bite. Though the slices of mushroom seem thick, they’re surprisingly light and have a satisfying crunch. The eringi mushroom is popular in Japan for its meaty stem and is a great substitute for meat in vegetarian dishes. It’s delicious when sauteed or grilled, but we think this tasty chip is our favorite way to enjoy eringi!

This fried rice cracker really hits the spot with its rich, buttery flavor. Thick yet light, this cracker proudly boasts 100% domestically grown Japanese rice. After being fried to perfection, each cracker is generously drizzled with uni(sea urchin)-flavored sauce to impart the cracker with uni’s signature buttery flavor. In Japan, uni is harvested between September and April, making this the perfect time to discover this seasonal delight. Though uni is sometimes a controversial flavor, we love this buttery, briny jewel of the sea, and this rice cracker is a great way to try it if you’ve never had it before.

These tasty fried noodles really make a bang from the first bite! This maker’s history goes back to 1889, and ever since then, they aim to share the flavors of Miyagi Prefecture with the world. These unique noodles feature wheat from Miyagi and are actually fried in rice oil, which isn’t something you hear every day. A local delicacy popular in the fall and winter from Miyagi’s capital city Sendai inspired this snack: noodles with beef tongue. Don’t shy away from this unique flavor, which also includes a good dose of black pepper for kick!
