If you ask a Japanophile what their favourite snack is, the answer is almost certainly going to be Pocky. Whilst I don't dispute Pocky is indeed awesome, it has some strong competition. For me the true king (queen?) of Japanese snacks is Country Ma'am, a delicious cookie traditionally available in Hazelnut, Cocoa and Vanilla flavours.
A friend recently sent me a couple of seasonal variations, Mugi (Barley) and Fuji Ringo (apple). Whilst the apple cookies disappeared within a few minutes of opening the parcel, I'm still working up the courage to try the barley flavour.
