Individual packaging is popular in Japan.

The other day, I wrote an article about the popularity of individually wrapped snacks in Japan.

🔶Chicken noodle soup チキンラーメン

What do we use it for?

This is when we use individually wrapped snacks.

🔸To distribute to a lot of people.

🔸To eat only a little.

🔸For kids.

🔸To eat a variety of snacks.

🔸To carry it around.

This time I'll show you what they look like with pictures.

How are they sold in supermarkets?

This is a type of product that is divided into smaller numbers and smaller portions.

Each cookie here is small in size.

Bagged type
A pattern of individually wrapped items in a bag

Look at the yellow marker.

It says 12 袋(ふくろ)bags.🧐

The bag contains a total of 12 bags of two kinds of sweets.

How many sweets do you think are in the bag?🤔

There were five of each.

Oh, one of the mushrooms was broken!😂

These two kinds of sweets are very popular and have some interesting episodes, so I'll introduce them sometime.

Box type

It says.

個包装(こほうそう)8個(こ)入(いり)

8 individually wrapped pieces

This is a miniature version that is smaller in size than the regular ones.

You can see the word "mini" in the upper left corner.

There were eight of them in the box.🤗

Would you like to see what's inside?

The miniature size is 3.5 cm. Regular size is 6.5cm.🧐

They are really bite-sized, aren't they?

It would be fun to buy different kinds of snacks as souvenirs from Japan.🤗

Here's another article from Snack Corner.

🔶Sour and salty are the key to the summer snack corner.

If you replace your name in Japanese ranking.

Is your name on the ranking? A friend of mine played a game in which you have to replace the names on the ranking with the names of the same period and the same rank. The fifth most common girl's name in the USA is For example, the name 'Sophia' is the fifth most common name in the USA. The name 'Sophia', for example, is the fifth most common name in the United States and is associated with nobility in Japan, perhaps due to the influence of anime. Reference : https://www.babynamestats.com/top100.html Japanese names for the same rank. Transpose that to the Japanese name rankings and I get the name Tsumugi.

When I see the characters with stretchy strokes that protrude from the frame, I hear that they seem to have an open mind.
