Shiawase means happy in Japanese

Nico: Hmmmm. I'm writing about only food on this blog. Though I really want to share small things of our life in Japan. Would you please wait until we go to Tokyo on Christmas vacation? 

MJ: So now it's my time to write about some crazy Japanese food.

Again.

The truth is, I'm addicted to salty, savoury foods. I would be very happy to eat vegemite on toast for breakfast every day for the rest of my life. And I'd probably eat it for a few dinners and snacks as well.

One of my favourites is Smiths Salt and Vinegar Crinkle Cut potato chips, but unfortunately you can't buy good salt and vinegar flavoured chips in Japan. So Nico and I have this game of trying to find the weirdest/best potato chip flavours here. 




 
I think Nico won again. She came home on Friday with 3 flavours picked just for me.


The flavours are awesome - Happy and Content Butter, Happy Salt and Roast Mushroom.
Happy and Content Butter was a little sweet, but still brilliant. Happy Salt was amazing.

But the absolute best was Roast Mushroom. Mushrooms in Japan are yummy as it is, but it really works as a flavour in potato chips!  A bit like a fancy sour cream and onion.

Why doesn't Smiths think of flavours like this?
