We have a history with snacks from Japan, and we struck gold with Daiso in Clearwater FL!…read more This store advertises itself as a seller of Japanese household good, and we stopped in to see if they had any cute magnets we could get for a 2-year-old in the family. While we fanned out through aisles of kitchen and beauty products, useful gadgets and supplies, I went looking for snacks. I found wall refrigerators on the left near the front of the store filled with all sorts of beverages. I got a couple of canned and bottled coffee drinks, which we all agreed were nicely flavored and quite sweet. We got our favorite, Ramune: a mild tasty lemonade with a slight fizz. The bottle is unique, with a clear marble trapped in a little chamber that rattles when you drink or pour and is said to help keep the light carbonation longer. And it has a push-button top that you press in to open and to release the little ball into the bottle. I think the fun of opening it and hearing that rattle are a big part of the fun of drinking Ramune. There are several flavors, but we always get the original lemonade flavor. Nearby, I discovered a snack rack, and behind it there were at least two whole aisle-sections filled with every Asian snack and treat that I know! All flavors of Pockys! All flavors of filled Panda cookies! Crispy snacks with shrimp and fish and chicken flavors! And the candy from Japan that I look for everywhere, that is hard to find outside of Asian neighborhood stores in Chicago and NYC ... Botan Ame! It's little cubes of soft translucent rice-candy, very lightly flavored, and double-wrapped: the inner wrapper is melt-in-your-mouth rice paper! The flavor is said to be lemon, but only very mildly lemon orange (imitating pomelo fruit), very mildly creamy, very mildly rice-y. There are several flavors available, including strawberry or pomelo, but I've always gotten the original. It's gently chewy, originally meant to imitate the softness of caramel-candy, or you can try to wait and let the candy dissolve after the rice paper is gone, though i've never heard of anyone who waits that long before biting in :-). The closest candy texture that i know of is fresh soft Turkish delight. And similarly, Botan Rice Candy gets tougher if you leave it on the shelf a long time. I suppose it dehydrates a little. I read it was invented in 1924. Long ago we only saw the same candy called Tomoe Ame, and the brightly colorful red and green or red and blue box looked almost the same. Each box used to come with a little plastic or metal toy, but eventually that changed to temporary tattoos of cute cartoon characters. Nowadays I've seen Tomoe Ame in large bags, too, online. I was happily lost in the candy, snacks, and beverages, and have no idea what everyone else bought. I'm pretty sure we did come home with some stickers and magnets and maybe some little toys. I myself found my new source for good old rice candy! To (mis)quote Shakespeare, What's in a name? That which I call Tomoe Ame, by any other word would taste as (slightly) sweet :-)

The cashier, an older woman with red hair, was yelling at the first group. Then after they left, she asked the second group if "they could afford all of that," out of the blue. It was then my turn and she asked me the same question. Sigh- It was clear she was having a bad day but I didn't entertain it. She continued to be extremely rude to us during the transaction. I left the store, then called back to speak to the Manager Maria, who was even more rude. When I explained to her what happened and maybe she should give the cashier a break, her response was..."Umm ok." No empathy, no willingness to help the situation.

This location is very hit or miss-- it depends on the time of year and what you are looking for. I recommend looking through all the racks and areas to ensure you see all that was moved or different options. Sadly, this location the prices were still higher than what I would like to spend on specific items. However things due seem to be good value, especially the women's handbags. When I was in the store, I went for about 30 minutes and did not interact with any workers. However, the line to check out was very long. Overall I would go back to see what is available, but I won't get my hopes up.
