Souvenirs from Japan 4

I tried many more food items from Japan. Below are some of it.

One of the famous brands one can get in Japanese Airport is Royce. It's one of the chocolate brands that I like very much. I like their Nama Chocolate, however it needed to be stored in a specific temperature of 10 degree Celsius or below. So it's not easy to get the Nama Chocolate. The one I got as a souvenir was not the type that needed to be refrigerated. Of the three flavours below, I like the Maccha the most and fruit flavour the least.

The second one was the Ukai crackers 鵜飼せんべい from Nagara River 長良川, Gifu 岐阜. From the website, it claims that it is made from the eggs laid by the local chicken and flour from the Gifu prefecture. Truth to be told, this senbei is very hard, not for someone with weak teeth. Anyway, if one have the chance to visit Gifu, he or she could arrange to visit the cormorant fishing on the Nagara River. From what I read, it sounds very interesting.
