I get a package of treats for Christmas every year from a distant cousin who works at Tokyo Disneyland, and I swear, Japanese cookies and chocolates are so weird. I understand that a lot of people there are lactose intolerant, and that might explain the peculiar texture for some of them, but it doesn’t really fully explain it, especially some of the oddities I’ve had over the years. It’s like, this is almost a cookie, but not quite??
I mean, they still taste really good, and the tins they come in are really nice, but it’s just not what I’m used to.
