OH – MY – GOD.

Saturday, April 25, 2009 - 3:36 pm English | 日本語

Funwari Meijin (ふんわり名人: Fluffing expert) has been out for nearly three years – a Japanese snack which increasingly became popular and had a huge shortage of stocks last year.

I’ve had it once before and was stunned in shock to discover the amazing yet indescribable texture of it. It’s basically baked rice crisps only bigger and unbelievably soft and light! It’s got to be lighter than a crumpled tissue ball! It just instantly melts in your mouth like a magic.
Only similar (but not the same though) texture I’ve ever come across is that mind-blowing lime pavlova at Tetsuya’s – which is like eating a lime flavored clouds.

Funwari Meijin have 5 flavours: Mitarashi Dango, Cheese, Egg (custard), Black Sesames, and original Kinako (Sweeten Soy bean powder). For limited time only, they had this special package “Funwa-Rich box” containing 6 boxes of special flavours Strawberries, Milk Chocolate and Almond Milk.

Cute package! (Yup, I’m a package whore.) Fortunately I got to taste them! So how does that taste?

Haha I knooooow. That’s why I had to take advantage of being Japanese and requested at local shops!

Oh, I didn’t know about Anegawa! All I knew about was Tokyo Mart (the owner lady hates me I think) and the little store in Artarmon.

I’ll have to check that place out, even if they don’t have the funwari meijin just to see what Japanese goods they stock

The little store in Artarmon? Isn’t that Anegawa?? Right opposite side of the small alley, there’s another Japanese grocery shop too. Maybe that’s the one you know? And what have you done to the lady! LOL
