The more you chew, the more umami you get
"Surume Sheet"

Surume sheet ¥ 250 (tax included)

First of all, this! "Surume sheet" is always on the top of MUJI's snack ranking.

It is a product made by making a sheet of sweetly seasoned dried squid and cutting it into bite-sized pieces that are easy to pick up. It's easy to eat because it's cut into small pieces, and the more you chew, the more the umami spreads in your mouth.

The 136 kcal per bag also makes you feel less guilty! Chewing also makes you feel full, making it a perfect snack for dieters and those who are concerned about calories.

You can easily enjoy the feeling of carpaccio
"Ika-ashi Carpaccio"

Squid leg carpaccio

Since "squid is the most popular snack for drinking," we will continue to introduce squid products.

"Ika-ashi carpaccio" is a carpaccio-style dish made by cutting squid legs into easy-to-eat pieces and adding basil and olive oil. It is thinly sliced, but has a firm bite. The moderate sourness is addictive. It is a snack that you want to match with wine and cocktails.

Goes well with beer! It's full of filling!
"Sweet and Sour Squid"

Sweet and sour squid ¥ 299 (tax included)

Squid snacks will continue!

Next is "Sweet and sour squid". There are lots of squid legs pickled in sweet vinegar. It is said that there are packs of different sizes, so choose the size you like.

When you eat a bite, it's incredibly elastic! The umami of squid and the sourness of sweet and sour oozes out. It looks like it's going to go well with dark beer and shochu.

We recommend cutting the large legs beforehand, as they struggle to chew.

The bitterness of shishamo is addictive
"Grilled Karafuto Shishamo"

Unsorted Grilled Karafuto Shishamo ¥299 (tax included)

Unsorted Grilled Carafe Shishamo

"Grilled Karafuto Shishamo (grilled shishamo smelt)" is a carefully baked Norwegian capelin shishamo. By packing without distinguishing between males, females, head cuts, belly splits, and size, it is value for money.

It's softer than it looks, and its slightly bitter and salty flavor is perfect for sake. It seems to go well not only with Japanese sake, but also with chuhai and shochu. It's also delicious with mayonnaise!

Superb cheetara made with Hokkaido cheddar cheese
"Hitokuchi Yaki-cheese"

Irregular size Hitokuchi Yaki-cheese ¥250 (tax included)

From here, we introduce a series that you can easily eat.

"Irregular size Hitokuchi Yaki-cheese is made by placing Hokkaido cheddar cheese on a fish meat sheet and baking it. The "Irregular" series is a popular MUJI series that achieves high cost performance by using even the scraps of the product.

The charm of a bite of grilled cheese is the thick layer of cheese. The baking process adds a savory flavor that makes this a superb cheetara (cheese and cod). It has a rich and creamy flavor that is perfect for pairing with wine or quaff beer.

By the way, there is also a large size before cutting, which was born from the request of "I want to eat more"!

Rich flavor of 3 kinds of cheese and herbs
"Rice confectionery cheese & basil"

Rice confectionery Cheese & Basil ¥ 250 (tax included)

You'll also want some rice cracker snacks.

"Rice confectionery cheese & basil" is characterized by the rich flavor of three types of cheese and herbs. As the name suggests, no chemical seasonings are used, and the deliciousness of the ingredients is used to create a gentle taste. Basil and rice crackers go so well together! I was shocked.

I'm a little tired of strong flavored snacks, but I want to eat something. It is recommended in such a case!

"Bokkake of beef Tendon and Konjac Over Rice" is a reproduction of "Bokkake," a home-style dish from downtown Kobe. Although it is originally a product to be served over rice, it can also be used as a snack as it is!

Beef tendon and konjac are stewed with sweet and spicy seasoning and finished with ginger. It is recommended to put green onions on top! The slightly strong seasoning is the best match for sake. Serve the leftover sauce with rice to finish off the dish.
