Photo 1: Cheese nuts(peanuts cheese)
Cheese is not Japanese traditional ingredient of course. But it is a good and modern combination.
Photo 2: Ume-lakka (peanuts with sour plum)
It looks like real "Umeboshi"(traditional sour plum pickles) but it is made of peanuts and coated with wheat sour plum flavor.
Photo 3: Hanamame (fried broad beans)
This is a traditional salty flavor and good match with beer.
Mamegen offers other Japanese traditional snacks and sweets.
All are packed in small size and sold at small price. Then they are good as a sourvenir or small gift from Japan.
