This is the most popular souvenir from Hokkaido which has been popular for over 30 years since its birth. It’s a Langue-de-chat-type sweet, whose cookies are baked to golden perfection and sandwiching white chocolate. The crunchiness which is a key to this cookie is produced under strict quality control in the factory performing thorough hygienic management.
Please dip this Shiroi koibito in cold milk! It's yummy!

A UK woman has rocked into the Guiness Book of Records for having the largest collection of Pokemon merchandise with a total of over 13,000 items including stuffed toys and cards. Lisa Courtney started the collection 13 years years ago when Pokemon took off in the UK. She has been to Japan on a Pokemon-related trip.
Here is a report on how the ubiquitous plastic food you can see outside restaurants all over is made.Can be bought in Kappabashi dori street. Get there from Tawaramachi station on the Ginza line. You can also buy kitchen tools, cutlery and an array of plates, dishes, cups and bowls many of which have traditional Japanese designs and have reasonable price tags

Other good ideas for Japanese souvenirs
1) Nori seaweed. Sheets of dried seaweed. Delicious on salad and sushi. Healthy too!
2) Natto. Smelly fermented beans. It's refrigerated so may be even smellier by th time you get home so buy the day before.
3) miso soup. Good as an apetizer.
4) sake is great if you like alcohol.
Good luck and itadakemasu!!
