No. 3. Japanese Sweet Potato Fries: The Delicious Taste of Japanese Sweet Potatoes
*Because the Chocolate Digestive Biscuits, ranked No. 4 in Minna no Ranking, are no longer available, it has been moved up in ranking.
These simple sweet potato fries, designed to preserve the authentic flavor of the sweet potatoes, stand as a classic Japanese snack that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age. The texture is not too hard and not too crunchy, making them impossible to stop eating once you start!
Sweet potatoes, rich in dietary fiber, are a staple of Japan’s fall and winter. A healthy snack rich in nutrients, sweet potato fries are a great, guilt-free indulgence, making them also suitable for individuals on a diet. They also go well with bitter Japanese teas, making them a perfect choice for a Japanese-style snack time, too!

No. 4. Grilled Rusk Sugar Taste: Fragrant, Sweet, and Nostalgic
The Lunch Pack is a popular sandwich product, well-regarded by foreign journalists. When making these sandwiches, the bread crusts are cut off and repurposed to make rusks, a delicious and sustainable snack.
The rusks are slowly baked and seasoned with a blend of butter and sugar, revealing an increasing sweetness with every bite. The cut-off crusts give them an uneven texture and warmth, reminiscent of homemade rusks. The balanced sweetness is satisfying and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.

Despite their simple saltiness, these chips boast a rich, deep flavor suitable for people of all ages. The perfectly balanced saltiness ensures an ever-enjoyable snacking experience, and the jagged shape accentuates the crunchy, mouth-watering texture, leaving you thoroughly satisfied after every bag!
