Our “Snacks from…” series treats you to different snacks found in the World Showcase pavilions at Epcot. Find more reviews here! Continuing our series, we head to Mitsukoshi in Epcot’s Japan pavilion!
Here at Eating WDW, we’re big fans of Ramune soda. While we enjoy many of the flavors available, you just can’t go wrong with the “original” flavor. Kasugai created a variety of gummy candy which we love, so combining the classic flavor of ramune in a candy gummy was right up our alley.
I was certainly intrigued by what Japan’s Hanami booth would serve for Flower & Garden Festival. We like to stop by during Food & Wine, so we knew we’d be checking the booth out. I wasn’t too excited for Frushi, though I might still give it a shot. I simply do not like cooked salmon, so the Chirashi Hanazushi was not appealing to me. The Green Tea Flan is probably the most interesting item to me, but when we went through the line, Matt was the only one to order any food.
Matt ordered the YakiSoba Pan, described as fresh grilled carrots, onions and cabbage with Japanese noodles and teriyaki sauce served on a bun with mayonnaise and Beni Shoga (strips of pickled ginger). Another disclaimer: I don’t like teriyaki sauce. When I saw the item, all I could think about was spaghetti tacos; carbs on carbs.

Today’s snack from Japan clearly caught my eye thanks to the Pokemon on the packaging. I had also bought some for my sisters when they were visiting thinking they would be similar to Purun Purun Qoo jelly drink I had last year, based on the packaging. I didn’t look at the label, but I should have. These Pokemon Soft Drinks are “Sport & Water.”

Today we have a Snack from Japan, purchased in Epcot’s Mitsukoshi, made by Uha and interestingly called “Awawawawa,” the Japanese onomatopoeia for panicking. The Japanese version of “Homina homina homina,” if you will. One of the things that caught my eye on this packaging was the sticker, which was pretty creepy looking.
It appears that Uha and Puccho are having a promotion for the 91-strong Japanese girl band, AKB48. Yes, there are currently 91 members, but they perform in different troupes. It looks like you can get some freaky looking, interlinking charms through the promo.

One treat that I’ve surprisingly never had in Epcot’s Japan pavilion is Kakigori. I guess I’m usually busy ordering a Kirin, but it’s something that I’ve wanted to try for quite some time. With some unseasonably warm weather in the region, I decided it was as good of a time as any to order one!
Flavors include Strawberry, Melon, Cherry, Mikan (Tangerine) or Rainbow, and cost $3.50. Specialty toppings can be added for a dollar each and include Sweet Milk, Sweet Strawberry and Sweet Cherry. I wanted to keep in simple for my first one, so I ordered Cherry, one of my favorite flavors.
