Have you ever heard of dagashi?

You probably know what “okashi” is. Yes, it’s sweets or snack food.

Dagashi is a type of okashi except it’s inexpensive and packaged in small portions.

Therefore, children can easily afford to buy dagashi.

Most dagashi items are less than 100 yen.

Elementary school children enjoy picking dagashi for school trips

while trying to stay on a designated budget.

There is a variety of dagashi: candies, gum, chocolate, and savory snacks like mini-ramen.

Some have been around for a very long time, and there is a stream of new dagashi as well.

It’s mainly for children, but adults reminisce their childhood by enjoying dagashi.

I hope you find your favorite dagashi in Japan.
