We wonder how often people struggle to find the right gift but end up making rash decisions and buying useless items. For those that run into problems like this, head to “Tokyo Okashi Land” (Tokyo Snack Land), an antennae shop that represents Japans big three snack makers, Ezaki Glico, Morinaga Seika, and Calbee. Located in Tokyo Station’s Ichiban-gai close to the Yaezu central underground exit, they have many snacks that are limited production only for Tokyo.

“Tokyo Baby Karinto” limited in sale to the Tokyo area, are made of their famous pretzel stick snacks “Pritz” cut into small pieces and lathered in beautiful dark honey. True to their name they are baby sized pieces. You are guaranteed to be asked where you get them they are so good.

The small packaging lets you distribute amongst friends and coworkers easily. It really brings everyone together eating tasty snacks while you recount your trip. This is one snack I recommend out of the rest.

Other than this they have other limited sale treats and seasonal chocolates they make in house, such as the canned “Bisco” snacks that mark their 80 year anniversary of sales. The feeling of specialty is really great.

When looking around in the shop you may come across something that seems strange. A top for the Jagariko or Jagabee container! Apparently, many people have been looking for just such an item and are a hot seller here. It makes sense though,l as when you pull the paper seal off the top what do you do when you can’t or don’t want to eat the whole container?

There are other little things that you might find interesting or something rare, so definitely keep your eyes peeled.

Here you can casually snack on prepped in store, limited production snacks at their standing tables, such as softies, potato chips, and drinks. Great for when you need a quick fix. As seen above there are seasonally limited items which you will find yourself ordering before you know it.

This booth is so popular its regularly plagued with long lines. Always a good idea to order first before shopping. The hot snacks are offered between 9:30am and 8:30pm but if there are really long lines they will stop taking orders long before closing so take heed.
