    Rating 4.4 (29 reviews)

    [ Taste: 4.8 Value: 4.2 Volume: 4.5 Design: 4.7 Portability: 4.3 Shelf life: 3.9 ]

    Reviewers praise the moist beni-imo (purple sweet potato) filling with a natural, not-too-sweet flavor and a buttery tart crust, even for people who dislike sweets. Individually wrapped, generous in size, nice warmed or chilled, and popular as a gift for coworkers and family. A couple note the crust is soft and crumbly.

    Rating 5.0 (1 review)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 5.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    The one reviewer loved these smooth Royce' chocolates with a hint of brown sugar saltiness and rum, finding the nine-piece box a good amount. The tropical Ishigaki packaging was nice enough to keep.

    5.0
    Rating 5.0 (1 review)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 5.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    The one reviewer enjoyed the combination of chocolate and beni-imo sweetness and liked the crisp crepe texture. They could not clearly taste the purple sweet potato itself, saying it mostly comes across as chocolate, but still found it a new and enjoyable experience.

  • Beni-imo Tart

    Rating 5.0 (1 review)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 5.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    The one reviewer calls it the classic Okinawa souvenir and says the taste is excellent, as expected from the home of beni-imo (purple sweet potato) tarts. They liked being able to choose between a 12-piece and a smaller 6-piece box, and bought it as a travel souvenir.

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 5.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    The one reviewer was recommended this shrimp and aosa seaweed salty tuile by a shop clerk at a KID HOUSE store, and fell for its addictive texture and flavor after tasting a sample.

  • Hannama Okinawa Soba
    5.0
    Rating 5.0 (1 review)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 5.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    The one reviewer asked a relative to bring this back for the family, who love Okinawa soba. It comes with seasoned pork topping and semi-fresh noodles that need only about three minutes of boiling, and it tasted excellent.

  • Yukishio Chinsuko
    4.6
    Rating 4.6 (15 reviews)

    [ Taste: 4.7 Value: 4.7 Volume: 4.6 Design: 4.1 Portability: 4.7 Shelf life: 4.6 ]

    Reviewers praise the crisp, crumbly yet slightly moist texture and the mild salt that balances the sweetness, calling it a crowd-pleaser, even for some who disliked ordinary chinsuko. Small, light, individually wrapped and good value for sharing at work. A few coworkers still dislike chinsuko, and one notes it is high in calories.

  • Kokuto Chocolate
    4.8
    Rating 4.8 (3 reviews)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 4.7 Design: 5.0 Portability: 4.7 Shelf life: 4.7 ]

    Reviewers praise this brown sugar chocolate as a surprisingly good match, rich, refined and adult-oriented, with individually wrapped pieces and cute island designs that mark it as an Okinawa souvenir. It suits sharing at work, but melts easily in summer.

  • Hateruma-jima-san Kokuto
    4.8
    Rating 4.8 (2 reviews)

    [ Taste: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Volume: 4.5 Design: 4.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

    Reviewers praise this Hateruma Island brown sugar for its rich flavor and depth, different from other brown sugars. One uses it in simmered dishes; another notes it is made from 100 percent sugar cane and is rich in minerals.
