NUTS U.S. - Japanese Coated Peanut Crackers | Japan Mix | No Trans Fat and Non-GMO | Natural Snacks | Packed in a Resealable Bag!!! (Japan Mix, 2 LBS)

I agree that you really do get the BEST DEAL with these GENUINE..flavored.. wasabi, chili, sesame coated nutcrackers. My fave snack when relaxing. Genuine taste. I agree that this 1 gallon zip lock size bag of what has now quickly become my perfect snack as well was fresh and delicious as well. This was a great purchase. Good product and great seller. You won't be disappointed. I was pleased with the taste. Very good. Didn't know they had peanuts in them so if you're on a diet you maybe shouldn't buy them.

Don't expect to bite into a peanut the way you think about a peanut because it won't be there. It's mostly a semi-hard shell with a tiny nut inside. Not a strong flavor and some may call it a bit chalky, but the taste is still pretty good. It is crunchy and fresh.

To be fair, there's nothing wrong with these, they're just not to my particular taste nor are they as good as the rice cracker covered peanuts I usually get at my local Asian market but they stopped stocking the really big bags of these so I decided to try this brand via Amazon. The peanuts have a kind of raw taste, as if they haven't been roasted, which I don't particularly like -- they taste more like sunflower seeds or unroasted soybeans. Also the rice cracker covering is more on the sweet side instead of a nice balance of salty and sweet. That having been said, the price is VERY reasonable and they're nice and crunchy so you don't have much to lose simply trying them. AND, something I hadn't considered until now, since I don't absolutely love them, I won't devour the bag in two minutes the way I usually do with my usual brand -- it's like having a built-in overindulgence guard.

I ordered the Japanese Mix to go with a gift for a friend who loves Japanese snacks. I didn't realize the bag would be so big!! I ended up putting half of it in a different container for my friend and when she opened the present she asked "Do I eat the potpourri?". She then followed up to say it was delicious and her mom said it reminded her of a snack she ate in Japan when she was a kid. So the gift was a hit! And I still had plenty left to try for myself. The different colors don't really have different flavors, but each one has a slightly different texture. The cracker coating is slightly salty and satisfyingly crunchy, and the peanut inside is a bit sweet. Everyone in my house loves them (including the dog).

So good!
